The landlord's daughter entered, giving her guest good-morning, and kindly inquiring how she had slept. "I slept like a top! But I'm not well this morning neither. So I'd just like to have my victuals sent up here," answered Sybil. "Very well; what would you like?" "Fried fish, and pork-steaks, and bri'led chickings, and grilled bacon, and let me see! Have you any oysters?" "Yes, very fine ones."
"Johnson," said a young officer, Captain Sybil, of Maine, who had become attached to Robert, "what is the use of your saying you're a colored man, when you are as white as I am, and as brave a man as there is among us. Why not quit this company, and take your place in the army just the same as a white man? I know your chances for promotion would be better."
"The History of the Conquest of England by the Normans," said Egremont, reading the title page on which also was written "Ursula Trafford to Sybil Gerard." "You know it?" said Sybil. "Only by fame." "Perhaps the subject may not interest you so much as it does us," said Sybil. "It must interest all and all alike," said her father; "for we are divided between the conquerors and the conquered."
Lee gave Ratcliffe a lively account of this interview, and he laughed nearly as convulsively as Sybil over it, though he tried to pacify her by saying that the President's most intimate friends openly declared his wife to be insane, and that he himself was the person most afraid of her. But Mrs.
But grotesque as such ideas seem now, they were not more grotesque than those shadowed forth in some of the novels of Lord Beaconsfield, and more particularly in Sybil, or The Two Nations. Had we indeed been set to compose an essay on the social conditions, as we ourselves understood them, "The Two Nations" would have been the title which we could most appropriately have selected for it.
Sybil might talk of duty, and "you ought" and "you ought not," until her fair face was flushed with talking, but she either found herself showered over with insects, or laid gently on the greensward, or swung up into a branch of a tree, from which she feared to jump down. No mercy had Gatty upon the gentle soft Sybil. The only one among the children who did not seem happy was Oscar.
"Qui laborat, orat," said Sybil with a smile, "is the privilege of the people." "Of whom I am one," said Hatton bowing, well recollecting that he was addressing the daughter of a chartist delegate. "But is your labour, their labour," said Sybil.
"Sybil has nine hundred a year," Lady Caroom said, "but it would not be a matter of money at all. I should not allow Sybil to marry any one concerning whose position in the world there was the least mystery. She might marry Lord Kingston of Ross, but never Mr. Kingston Brooks." "Has Mr. Brooks given any special signs of devotion?" Lord Arranmore asked. "Not since they were at Enton.
Lady Sybil, in fact, made room for him by her side, and he fancied that there was a gleam of reproach in her eyes as she looked up at him. "Is Medchester really so large a place that one can get lost in it?" she asked. "Lord Arranmore has been sending messengers in every direction ever since we decided upon our little excursion.
But that makes it all the safer as a place of concealment for you," said Lyon Berners, as he started his horse and rode on. Sybil followed him closely. Day was broadening over the mountains, and bringing out a thousand prismatic colors from the autumn foliage of the trees, gemmed now with the rain drops that had fallen during the night.
