"Directly V.V. set eyes on Carnac, she just turned against all her up-bringing. 'Why wasn't I told of this before? she said. 'What's Notre Dame to this? This is where we came from. This is the real starting point of the MAYFLOWER. Belinda, she said, 'we've got to see all we can of this sort of thing before we go back to America.
Clair thanked heaven that she had had the advantages of an English education and up-bringing, and she lamented the stubborn democratic opinions of her brother, who insisted that Harry should attend the public school. She was not surprised, therefore, though greatly grieved, that Harry chose his friends in school with a fine disregard of "their people."
Then she continues her ideal shoving of it through all the stages of an ideal up-bringing, she loves it as a chemist loves his test-tubes in which he analyzes his salts.

They dined with those they were up-bringing in the Christian faith, sitting at the head of the table, and they were complete shepherds of the flock.
