Sibyl's character mind and heart and body and soul had been formed by the strength and purity of her mountain environment; by her association with her parents, with Myra Willard, and with her parents' life-long friends; and by her mental comradeship with the greatest spirits that music and literature have given to the world.
"Well, what would you do if I should forget?" The answer came deliberately; "If you do not keep your promise I will kill you, Mr. Rutlidge." James Rutlidge did not reply. Stepping to the cabin door, the convict knocked. Sibyl's voice answered, "Yes?" "You may come out now, please, Miss Andrés." As the girl opened the door, she spoke to him in a low tone. "Thank you, Mr. Marston. I heard."
Don't you see we OUGHT to do it, you and I? Do you suppose Robert Lamhorn cares a snap of his finger for her? Do you suppose a man like him would LOOK at Edith Sheridan if it wasn't for the money?" And again Sibyl's emotion rose to the surface. "I tell you he's after nothing on earth but to get his finger in that old man's money-pile, over there, next door! He'd marry ANYBODY to do it.
The garret being left empty was shortly tenanted by another woman to whom all the town women, girls, valets, fine gentlemen everybody in fact swarmed, as before, to consult their destiny. The former tenant had built up such a reputation that the garret was still a sibyl's den, in spite of the fact that quite a different creature dwelt in it. "I tell fortunes? Surely you're joking!

Can any argument be conceived which is more decisive in favour of the moral economy to which even this lower world is subject, than the undeniable fact, that virtue is fortified by exercise, and pain conquered by endurance; while vice, like the bearer of the sibyl's books, extorts every hour a greater sacrifice for less enjoyment?
Her wardrobe was by no means as extensive as Sibyl's or Janet's or a hundred others, but what she had came from the best houses, that use only the costliest materials. Her face was composed and proud. There was not a signal out, even from her brilliant expressive eyes, of the storm within. Her mind was no longer stunned. It was seething with disgust and fury. How dared he?
The cousins laughed merrily at Sibyl's description, and Bessie said, "I have never been to a 'full-grown picnic, as Gem calls it. My experience is confined to the days we used to spend out on the lake shore four or five years ago.
Every line of her face, every muscle of her body, declared the constraint in which she held herself.

He recounted faithfully the incidents at Waterloo Station, and the beginning of Mrs. Maskell's narrative in the cab.
She would not have been herself had there appeared any neglect or unbecomingness in her costume, but she wore the least pretentious of morning gowns, close at throat and wrist, which aided her look of mental concentration and alertness. She rose with alacrity, and the visitor, using her utmost keenness in scrutiny of countenance, found that her own eyes, not Sibyl's, were the first to fall.
