The Dog must on no account move from his tracks until such command is given. All the affair is perfectly simple; but quite inflexible. Any variation in this procedure fills the honest bird dog's mind with the same horror and dismay experienced by a well-brought-up young man who discovers that he has on shoes of the wrong colour. It isn't done, you know.
A large, quiet, unambitious, but well-brought-up and industrious young man was Hamilton Morris, and he had not the least idea of the good in store for him for several months after Mrs. Kinzer decided to marry him to her daughter Miranda; but all was soon settled. Dab, of course, had nothing to do with the wedding arrangements, and Ham's share was somewhat contracted.
Having observed the vagaries of this fashion in phrasing for several years, I have come to the conclusion that the plain "Sir" of former times, which, to the "well-brought-up" child, was a practical application of the Fifth Commandment, is much to be preferred to the fussy elaboration of personal address that has superseded it.
Never before had she broken a promise; she knew that a well-brought-up young girl ought to read only such books as were put into her hands.
"It seems to me you're very innocent," said Mabel, "even for a well-brought-up girl. I was well brought up, too. I wish to God my mother had told me a few things. But no not a thing." "What do you mean?" inquired Susan. That set the actress to probing the girl's innocence what she knew and what she did not. It had been many a day since Miss Connemora had had so much pleasure.
Never before had she broken a promise; she knew that a well-brought-up young girl ought to read only such books as were put into her hands.
That's why Aunt Paula always sends me away for a month every now and then to the quietest place proper for a well-brought-up young person." His eyes shadowed as though they had caught that blasting shade in hers.
And no wonder, for in the paddock, where the circus was to be, a blood-thrilling thing had transpired. The dogs were chasing the sheep. And we had now lived long enough in the country to know the fell nature of our dogs' improper conduct. We all rushed into the paddock, calling to Pincher, and Martha, and Lady. Pincher came almost at once. He is a well-brought-up dog Oswald trained him.
As far as he could make it out she seemed to imply that with a perfect confidence in her mother's affection and sagacity she had no pronounced antipathy for the person of General D'Hubert; and that this was quite sufficient for a well-brought-up dutiful young lady to begin married life upon. This view hurt and tormented the pride of General D'Hubert.
At the same time, I would venture to say from my own experience of that branch of theatrical business with which I have been connected and in such matters one can only speak from personal experience that any woman yielding to these temptations has only herself to blame, that any well-brought-up, sensible girl will, and can, avoid them altogether, and that I should not make these temptations a ground for dissuading any young woman in whom I might be interested from joining our calling.
