In his authoritative front, and in the red anger unmistakably flaming in his face, he reminded Jane of her father. "Is that the Larkin pauper?" he asked, bruskly, without any greeting to Jane. "It's Mrs. Larkin's little girl," replied Jane, slowly. "I hear you intend to raise the child?" "Yes." "Of course you mean to give her Mormon bringing-up?" "No." His questions had been swift.
Your bringing-up has kept you a child in real knowledge of real life, as distinguished from the life in that fashionable hothouse. If you tried to assert your so-called independence, you would be the easy prey of a scoundrel or scoundrels.
What he was about to do was, in a way, so monstrous, taking into consideration his antecedents, his bringing-up, and all his forebears, that it had to his mind the grotesqueness of a gargoyle on his house of life. He was now going to apply for the last position on his list, that of a coachman for a gentleman, presumably of wealth, in Harlem. The name was quite unknown to him. It was German.
And, as though answering his thought, the priest said to him: "You are about to enter into holy matrimony, and God may bless you with offspring. Well, what sort of bringing-up can you give your babes if you do not overcome the temptation of the devil, enticing you to infidelity?" he said, with gentle reproachfulness.
Now there are brawls and brawls, and I should have thought with shame of my Kentucky bringing-up had I not perceived that this was no ordinary court day, and that an unusual excitement was in the wind.

'He began it in March, when he thought he had offended me by being rude to Arthur. 'So he was abominably rude. But what can one expect? He hasn't had the bringing-up of a gentleman and there you are. That kind of thing will out.
