Trieve was second in command, and had been known as "Miss" Trieve. John would have gladly done this and more for Lawrence, his fag-master; but Lawrence, a manly youth, scorned sybaritic services. How he used to envy the members of the Elevens as they rolled arm-in-arm down the High Street!
"Your tastes in eating and drinking, too," she continued, "are a little on the sybaritic side. Have you realized what it will mean to give all these things up to wear coarse clothes, to eat coarse food, to get your books from a cheap library, and look at other people's flowers?" Jeanne frowned. The idea was certainly not pleasing.
Images chase through one's mind, a kaleidoscopic stream, shifting incessantly, going and coming, and finally reducing the soul to a state of torture. The sybaritic meal with its clatter of plates, its talking and music, was still whirling through Frederick's brain. He heard the vaudeville actor declaiming. The half-ape was holding Mara in his arms.
Thorpe was not in the least Sybaritic in his tastes, but he could not stifle a sigh of satisfaction at sinking so naturally into the unobtrusive little comforts which the ornamental life offers to its votaries. They rose up around him and pillowed him, and were grateful to the tired fibers of his being. His remoter past had enjoyed these things as a matter of course.

Here Cowperwood was represented as seated in a swinging divan, his various books, art treasures, and comforts piled about him. The idea was vaguely suggested that in his sybaritic hours odalesques danced before him and unnamable indulgences and excesses were perpetrated.
Experience taught us this: but then experience is only an empiric at the best. Besides, whether Katahdin were bare-headed or cloud-capped, it would be better to blunder upward than lounge all day in camp and eat Sybaritic dinners. We longed for the nervy climb. We must have it. "Up!" said tingling blood to brain. "Dash through the forest! Grasp the crag, and leap the cleft!
The speaker tried it "Hm not exactly Sybaritic but very fair, very fair! Mrs. Melrose will get used to it." "Mrs. Melrose, sir, I fear, will find this place a bit lonesome, and out of the way." "Well, it is not exactly Piccadilly," laughed Melrose. "But a woman that has her child is provided for. How can she be dull?
