Society generally, with its bluff, loud, self-confident but ignorant planters, its numerous poor whites destitute of lands and of slaves, and its mass of slaves whose aim in life was to avoid work and escape the whip, was necessarily only one remove from semi-civilization. It was not easy to indoctrinate such a people, more arrogant than intelligent, with new ideas.
"And sent Queeth's crowd in to do your blood-letting for you?" Duke sneered. "That was their own idea," Flannery denied. He lighted a cigarette and sat staring at the end of it, blowing out a slow stream of smoke. "All right, we made a mess of Cathay. We'll know better next time. Care to walk back with me?" "Why? So one of your trained psychopropagandists can indoctrinate me?
The chief recent writers on what we already presume to call climatology, are Sir James Clark in England, Schouw in Sweden, and Carrière in France; and now there comes Dr Burgess, armed with the united authority of these physicians, and with his own experience, to indoctrinate the public as well as the profession.
"What about me?" said Grantaire. "Here am I." "You?" "You indoctrinate republicans! you warm up hearts that have grown cold in the name of principle!" "Why not?" "Are you good for anything?"

Milman was for many years dean of Westminster, and kindly offered me his services, to indoctrinate me into its antiquities. Macaulay made some suggestive remarks on cathedrals generally. I said that I thought it singular that we so seldom knew who were the architects that designed these great buildings; that they appeared to me the most sublime efforts of human genius.
It stood clear to him that Thompson before his Port, and Thompson after, were two different men. To indoctrinate him now was too late: it was perhaps the time to make the positive use of him he wanted.
Then we have John and Sambo in unadulterated profusion; the former ready at the shortest notice and for very small compensation to indoctrinate all comers in the art of plying the chopsticks, and the latter notoriously in his element in the kitchen and the dining-room, and able to aid the chasse-café with a song lord alike of the carving-knife, the cocktail and the castanets.
But you'll get used to it; it's only a question of educating your eyes and you'll end by seeing that what I am doing is very honest and healthy. Indeed, Christine slowly became used to it.
