But I know I looked upon him as a travesty, a caricature. Grindhusen stared at me when I had spoken my few words; the others, too, looked wonderingly.
And, besides," with a touch of remonstrance "at your age and with your bringing-up " "Ay, ay, ye may be as insulting as ye choose, my laddie, and fling my age and my upbringing in my face like a very man " "There isn't a face like it in all England, and as to " "I prefer ye to say Britain, as I've told ye before.
Recreation has played an important part in the upbringing of child and man, and when absent the advance has been retarded. The youth of all ages has found time for games and sports, which have enlivened the duties of manhood and womanhood by physical and mental pleasures.
We know, very many of us, that our present state has many evil aspects, seems unjust and wasteful of human happiness, is full of secret and horrible dangers, abounding in cruelties and painful things; that our system of sanctions and prohibitions is wickedly venial, pressing far more gravely on the poor than on the rich, and that it is enormously sapped by sentimentalities of various sorts and undermined and qualified by secret cults; it is a clogged and an ill- made and dishonest machine, but we have a dread, in part instinctive, in part, no doubt, the suggestion of our upbringing and atmosphere, of any rash alterations, of any really free examination of its constitution.

His mother died when he was seven.
"I know not why you should upbraid me with my upbringing, Master Lowestoffe," answered Richie, with great composure; "but I can tell you, the shambles is not a bad place for training one to this work." The other Templar now shouted loudly to them, "If ye be men, come hither here lies Lord Dalgarno, murdered!"
