Such was this foolish mother's dream, and she had thought to curry favour with the lady of Braeside by her remarks on what she considered should be the behaviour of a well-brought-up young lady, and what she had always aimed at in the education of her daughter. Mary Ann would have laughed could she have read her mother's mind and seen to what heights her ambition rose.

"A good girl like you, well-brought-up, good parents, nice home, religious instead of which " he ended in a burst of ironical reminiscence "you go traveling about with a " he checked himself "a man who isn't your husband.

Amanda talked with him of his approaching wedding in a tone which was half playful and half sentimental, precisely as her feelings prompted her; for to a well-brought-up Italian girl, marriage is the herald of all earthly bliss, the entrance to that happy state in which uncertainty, restraint, and trouble cease, and unchecked freedom, new dresses, drives, and evenings at the opera, begin.
It'll be a sad day for you, Mrs. Bateson, when swine fever comes into the district. I know no one as'll feel it more." "Now you must tell us all about your niece's wedding, Mrs. Hankey," Mrs. Bateson said "her that was married last week. My word alive, but your sister is wonderful fortunate in settling her daughters! That's what I call a well-brought-up family, and no mistake.
Since a few months ago, strange, deep emotions had stirred within her a passion of love and a passion of hatred such as in the days of her simple girlhood she would not have believed to be possible to any ordinary well-brought-up young Englishwoman.
