"Thomas," said his mother, "you will find nothing of the sort; but I'll tell you what you may expect from the right sort of a wife contempt for a coarse, low-bred fellow, should you insist upon holding him as your closest companion." "Mother," Louise spoke up, "I think you are too severe. Mr. Batts is hemmed in with faults, but he has many good points.
When you hear a lady saying, "B., gave me this," or a gentleman saying, "I always refer such matters to Mrs. P.," you may rest assured, whatever their social station, they are low-bred.
As poor Sinclair passed out of the door, he heard the company laugh long and loud at the supposed imposition he had attempted to practise upon Mr. Grump, the 'worthy host. Now be it known that this Mr. Grump was one of the most arrant scoundrels that ever went unhung. Low-bred and vulgar, he had made a fortune by petty knavery and small rascalities.
Here I had this low-bred Methodist fellow impressed by the idea of my individual and collective importance after five minutes' conversation. "But this comes too near the praising of myself; therefore hear other things," as the bard observes. A very little further conversation rendered Mr. Goodge malleable.
Her Most Gracious Majesty, the Queen, exhibits herself to the public as a part of the service for which she is paid. We do not consider it low-bred in her to pronounce her own speech, and should prefer it so to hearing it from any other person, or reading it. His Grace and his Lordship exhibit themselves very often for popularity, and their houses every day for money.
I should prefer him just because he was not just because he was a working man, and come of workmen's blood. We shall see whether he's stanch after all. To my mind, little Cuffy's worth a great deal more, as far as earnestness goes." "Oh! Cuffy's a low-bred, uneducated fellow." "Aristocrat again, John!" said I, as we went up-stairs to Kelly's room. And Crossthwaite did not answer.
The low-bred youth who amuse themselves with scurvy tricks on freshmen, and the vulgar girls who try to show off their gentility to those whom they think less important than themselves, are exceptions in every institution; but they make themselves odiously prominent before the quiet and modest young people have had time to gain the new scholar's confidence.
"It is you, is it?" said Conway. "I thought it was Broughton." Then he looked into the man's face and saw that he was ashy pale. All that appearance of low-bred jauntiness which used to belong to him seemed to have been washed out of him. His hair had forgotten to curl, his gloves had been thrown aside, and even his trinkets were out of sight. "What has happened," said Conway. "What is the matter?
"And we intend to teach you a lesson," added Pultzer, a short, stout chap, whose father had once been a butcher. "What for?" "For your unwarranted attack upon our illustrious president." "Your president? You mean Duncan?" "Mr. Woodward, if you please," interrupted Duncan, loftily. "I won't have such a low-bred fellow as you calling me by my first name."
So, forsooth," he said, "now he treats me like any common low-bred prentice." "Nay," said Ambrose, "an if you were his son, he would still make you serve. It's the way with all craftsmen yea and with gentlemen's sons also. They must be pages and squires ere they can be knights." "It never was the way at home.
