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.

Why, turn and twist you ever so much, you do not lose your reckoning. "'Not by a long chalk! This child had his bringing-up at Wapakonnetta, and that's a fact. "From the bottom we went on in a dampish sort of a passage, gloomily lit up with one candle.

Jackson imperturbably. "But Madame Olenska's foreign bringing-up may make her less particular " "Ah," the two elder ladies sighed. "Still, to have kept her grandmother's carriage at a defaulter's door!" Mr. van der Luyden protested; and Archer guessed that he was remembering, and resenting, the hampers of carnations he had sent to the little house in Twenty-third Street.

"It is stupid of me, I know," said Agnes frankly, "but one can't help feeling rather shy until one's opinions are officially endorsed." "How British!" "I suppose it is my bringing-up. It sounds very feeble. I often feel that if I once began really began to think for myself I wouldn't stick at anything." "That is British, too," said Sara, laughing. "You are a true Jane Bull!

And then it was impossible to bring these children under the happy influence of an orderly living family.

Well, what shall we do now, and as it is? that is the question.

But here was Milly an actress, exploiting herself with unconstrained gestures and arch glances and twirlings of her short skirt, to a crowded and miscellaneous audience. Leonora did not like it; her susceptibilities were outraged. She blushed at this amazing public contradiction of Milly's bringing-up. It seemed to her as if she had never known the real Milly, and knew her now for the first time.

How far physiologists may deem that such an abnormal circumstance may have been influential in producing a diathesis of mind and body deficient in vigor, energy and "hard grit" of any kind, I do not know. But if that is what such a bringing-up may be expected to produce, then the expectation was in the case in question certainly justified.

I feared I should never see my pet again, because I supposed he might be lured by the wild birds till he got out of hearing of any familiar voice. I confess it was hard to think of my bright young birdie starving under some hedge, for I felt sure he was too much of a gentleman from his artificial bringing-up to be able to earn his own living.

So at last I squatted down to my work, and thinks I, I shall be on my knees all ready if he puts up a prayer, for I knew he was a Methodee by bringing-up, and had only lately turned to master's way of thinking; and them Methodees are terrible hands at unexpected prayers when one least looks for 'em.
