And the captain, with a seaman-like promptness, immediately executed the order. Then Sybil's hat and cloak were brought her from the cabin, and she put them on and suffered herself to be led by her husband, and helped down to the boat. The Sheriff's officers followed, and when all were seated, the two boatmen laid to their oars, and the boat was rowed swiftly towards shore.
The capacity of women to make unsuitable marriages must be considered as the corner-stone of society. Meanwhile the ball had, in truth, very nearly driven all thought of Carrington out of Sybil's mind. The city filled again. The streets swarmed with fashionable young men and women from the provinces of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, who gave Sybil abundance of occupation.
It wasn't until I had fretted for two days that I realised that I was being used for the commonest form of excitement possible to a commonplace girl; that dozens perhaps of young men had played the part of Tantalus at cousin Sybil's lips.
But Lyon set his coarse boot upon Sybil's foot, and pressed it as a warning, and then answered for both, saying: "Thank y', honey, but I don't reckon we'll want anything but our supper, and the old man said how he'd send that up here himself." "Then I will leave you. Good night. I hope you will have a good sleep," answered Rachel, bending her head.
The blinds were up and the servants were setting the table. Then he passed round to the wing of the building and discovered the library. He actually went into that room, because it was one of Lady Sybil's standing orders that the library should be "aired" and that the scent of Mr. Crotin's atrocious tobacco should be cleared.
When I came upon you up on the top of the Down behind the house, lying on the grass, looking out always always towards the sea oh, I knew very well what it was that was drawing you; but I said nothing, Dick. Not a word not a word!" Dick nodded his head. "That's true, mother. You never questioned me. You never tried to dissuade me." Sybil's face shone with a wan smile.
"Not in the least; nor does any one else here know," replied Mr. Berners. Suddenly Rosa looked up, started, and with a suppressed cry, muttered: "Good heavens! Look at Sybil!" Mr. Berners followed the direction of her gaze across the table, and even he started at the sight of Sybil's face.
"There is no reason why you shouldn't, is there?" she said, more kindly than she had as yet spoken. "I can assure you that I very often have the blues, and I don't consider mine by any means the happiest sort of life. But, of course, one feels differently a little if one has tried to do something and you can if you like, you know." Sybil's face was perfectly brilliant with smiles.
I thank them, and will take care that they shall lose nothing in resigning their positions for her sake," said Lyon Berners with much warmth, while Sybil's heavy heart swelled with gratitude. "And to tell the whole truth, had I known this lady, I should have felt the same reluctance to serving this warrant that was experienced by my predecessors in office." "I can well believe you," answered Mr.
But the new wife only half fulfilled her husband's hopes, when, a year after their marriage, she presented him with one fair daughter, the Sybil of our story. Even this gift cost the delicate mother her life; for although she did not die immediately, yet from the day of Sybil's birth, she fell into a long and lingering decline which finally terminated in death.
