+
+
+
+On a bright summer evening, two persons stood among the shrubbery of a
+garden, stealthily watching a young girl, who sat in the window seat of a
+neighboring mansion.  One of these unseen observers, a gentleman, was
+youthful, and had an air of high breeding and refinement, and a face
+marked with intellect, though otherwise of unprepossessing aspect.  His
+features wore even an ominous, though somewhat mirthful expression, while
+he pointed his long forefinger at the girl, and seemed to regard her as a
+creature completely within the scope of his influence.
+
+"The charm works!" said he, in a low, but emphatic whisper.
+
+"Do you know, Edward Hamilton,--since so you choose to be named,--do you
+know," said the lady beside him, "that I have almost a mind to break the
+spell at once?  What if the lesson should prove too severe!  True, if my
+ward could be thus laughed out of her fantastic nonsense, she might be
+the better for it through life.  But then, she is such a delicate
+creature!  And, besides, are you not ruining your own chance, by putting
+forward this shadow of a rival?"
+
+"But will he not vanish into thin air, at my bidding?"  rejoined Edward
+Hamilton.  "Let the charm work!"
+
+The girl's slender and sylph-like figure, tinged with radiance from the
+sunset clouds, and overhung with the rich drapery of the silken curtains,
+and set within the deep frame of the window, was a perfect picture; or,
+rather, it was like the original loveliness in a painter's fancy, from
+which the most finished picture is but an imperfect copy.  Though her
+occupation excited so much interest in the two spectators, she was merely
+gazing at a miniature which she held in her hand, encased in white satin
+and red morocco; nor did there appear to be any other cause for the smile
+of mockery and malice with which Hamilton regarded her.
+
+"The charm works!" muttered he, again.  "Our pretty Sylvia's scorn will
+have a dear retribution!"
+
+At this moment the girl raised her eyes, and, instead of a life-like
+semblance of the miniature, beheld the ill-omened shape of Edward
+Hamilton, who now stepped forth from his concealment in the shrubbery.
+
+Sylvia Etherege was an orphan girl, who had spent her life, till within a
+few months past, under the guardianship, and in the secluded dwelling, of
+an old bachelor uncle.  While yet in her cradle, she had been the
+destined bride of a cousin, who was no less passive in the betrothal than
+herself.  Their future union had been projected, as the means of uniting
+two rich estates, and was rendered highly expedient, if not
+indispensable, by the testamentary dispositions of the parents on both
+sides.  Edgar Vaughan, the promised bridegroom, had been bred from
+infancy in Europe, and had never seen the beautiful girl whose heart he
+was to claim as his inheritance.  But already, for several years, a
+correspondence had been kept up between tine cousins, and had produced an
+intellectual intimacy, though it could but imperfectly acquaint them with
+each other's character.
+
+Sylvia was shy, sensitive, and fanciful; and her guardian's secluded
+habits had shut her out from even so much of the world as is generally
+open to maidens of her age.  She had been left to seek associates and
+friends for herself in the haunts of imagination, and to converse with
+them, sometimes in the language of dead poets, oftener in the poetry of
+her own mind.  The companion whom she chiefly summoned up was the cousin
+with whose idea her earliest thoughts had been connected.  She made a
+vision of Edgar Vaughan, and tinted it with stronger hues than a mere
+fancy-picture, yet graced it with so many bright and delicate
+perfections, that her cousin could nowhere have encountered so dangerous
+a rival.  To this shadow she cherished a romantic fidelity.  With its
+airy presence sitting by her side, or gliding along her favorite paths,
+the loneliness of her young life was blissful; her heart was satisfied
+with love, while yet its virgin purity was untainted by the earthliness
+that the touch of a real lover would have left there.  Edgar Vaughan
+seemed to be conscious of her character; for, in his letters, he gave her
+a name that was happily appropriate to the sensitiveness of her
+disposition, the delicate peculiarity of her manners, and the ethereal
+beauty both of her mind and person.  Instead of Sylvia, he called her
+Sylph,--with the prerogative of a cousin and a lover,--his dear Sylph
+Etherege.
+
+When Sylvia was seventeen, her guardian died, and she passed under the
+care of Mrs. Grosvenor, a lady of wealth and fashion, and Sylvia's
+nearest relative, though a distant one.  While an inmate of Mrs.
+Grosvenor's family, she still preserved somewhat of her life-long habits
+of seclusion, and shrank from a too familiar intercourse with those
+around her.  Still, too, she was faithful to her cousin, or to the shadow
+which bore his name.
+
+The time now drew near when Edgar Vaughan, whose education had been
+completed by an extensive range of travel, was to revisit the soil of his
+nativity.  Edward Hamilton, a young gentleman, who had been Vaughan's
+companion, both in his studies and rambles, had already recrossed the
+Atlantic, bringing letters to Mrs. Grosvenor and Sylvia Etherege.  These
+credentials insured him an earnest welcome, which, however, on Sylvia's
+part, was not followed by personal partiality, or even the regard that
+seemed due to her cousin's most intimate friend.  As she herself could
+have assigned no cause for her repugnance, it might be termed
+instinctive.  Hamilton's person, it is true, was the reverse of
+attractive, especially when beheld for the first time.  Yet, in the eyes
+of the most fastidious judges, the defect of natural grace was
+compensated by the polish of his manners, and by the intellect which so
+often gleamed through his dark features.  Mrs. Grosvenor, with whom he
+immediately became a prodigious favorite, exerted herself to overcome
+Sylvia's dislike.  But, in this matter, her ward could neither be
+reasoned with nor persuaded.  The presence of Edward Hamilton was sure to
+render her cold, shy, and distant, abstracting all the vivacity from her
+deportment, as if a cloud had come betwixt her and the sunshine.
+
+The simplicity of Sylvia's demeanor rendered it easy for so keen an
+observer as Hamilton to detect her feelings.  Whenever any slight
+circumstance made him sensible of them, a smile might be seen to flit
+over the young man's sallow visage.  None, that had once beheld this
+smile, were in any danger of forgetting it; whenever they recalled to
+memory the features of Edward Hamilton, they were always duskily
+illuminated by this expression of mockery and malice.
+
+In a few weeks after Hamilton's arrival, he presented to Sylvia Etherege
+a miniature of her cousin, which, as he informed her, would have been
+delivered sooner, but was detained with a portion of his baggage.  This
+was the miniature in the contemplation of which we beheld Sylvia so
+absorbed, at the commencement of our story.  Such, in truth, was too
+often the habit of the shy and musing girl.  The beauty of the pictured
+countenance was almost too perfect to represent a human creature, that
+had been born of a fallen and world-worn race, and had lived to manhood
+amid ordinary troubles and enjoyments, and must become wrinkled with age
+and care.  It seemed too bright for a thing formed of dust, and doomed to
+crumble into dust again.  Sylvia feared that such a being would be too
+refined and delicate to love a simple girl like her.  Yet, even while her
+spirit drooped with that apprehension, the picture was but the masculine
+counterpart of Sylph Etherege's sylphlike beauty.  There was that
+resemblance between her own face and the miniature which is said often to
+exist between lovers whom Heaven has destined for each other, and which,
+in this instance, might be owing to the kindred blood of the two parties.
+Sylvia felt, indeed, that there was something familiar in the
+countenance, so like a friend did the eyes smile upon her, and seem to
+imply a knowledge of her thoughts.  She could account for this impression
+only by supposing that, in some of her day-dreams, imagination had
+conjured up the true similitude of her distant and unseen lover.
+
+But now could Sylvia give a brighter semblance of reality to those
+day-dreams.  Clasping the miniature to her heart, she could summon forth,
+from that haunted cell of pure and blissful fantasies, the life-like
+shadow, to roam with her in the moonlight garden.  Even at noontide it
+sat with her in the arbor, when the sunshine threw its broken flakes of
+gold into the clustering shade.  The effect upon her mind was hardly less
+powerful than if she had actually listened to, and reciprocated, the vows
+of Edgar Vaughan; for, though the illusion never quite deceived her, yet
+the remembrance was as distinct as of a remembered interview.  Those
+heavenly eyes gazed forever into her soul, which drank at them as at a
+fountain, and was disquieted if reality threw a momentary cloud between.
+She heard the melody of a voice breathing sentiments with which her own
+chimed in like music.  O happy, yet hapless girl!  Thus to create the
+being whom she loves, to endow him with all the attributes that were most
+fascinating to her heart, and then to flit with the airy creature into
+the realm of fantasy and moonlight, where dwelt his dreamy kindred!  For
+her lover wiled Sylvia away from earth, which seemed strange, and dull,
+and darksome, and lured her to a country where her spirit roamed in
+peaceful rapture, deeming that it had found its home.  Many, in their
+youth, have visited that land of dreams, and wandered so long in its
+enchanted groves, that, when banished thence, they feel like exiles
+everywhere.
+
+The dark-browed Edward Hamilton, like the villain of a tale, would often
+glide through the romance wherein poor Sylvia walked.  Sometimes, at the
+most blissful moment of her ecstasy, when the features of the miniature
+were pictured brightest in the air, they would suddenly change, and
+darken, and be transformed into his visage.  And always, when such change
+occurred, the intrusive visage wore that peculiar smile with which
+Hamilton had glanced at Sylvia.
+
+Before the close of summer, it was told Sylvia Etherege that Vaughan had
+arrived from France, and that she would meet him--would meet, for the
+first time, the loved of years--that very evening.  We will not tell how
+often and how earnestly she gazed upon the miniature, thus endeavoring to
+prepare herself for the approaching interview, lest the throbbing of her
+timorous heart should stifle the words of welcome.  While the twilight
+grew deeper and duskier, she sat with Mrs. Grosvenor in an inner
+apartment, lighted only by the softened gleam from an alabaster lamp,
+which was burning at a distance on the centre-table of the drawing-room.
+Never before had Sylph Etherege looked so sylph-like.  She had communed
+with a creature of imagination, till her own loveliness seemed but the
+creation of a delicate and dreamy fancy.  Every vibration of her spirit
+was visible in her frame, as she listened to the rattling of wheels and
+the tramp upon the pavement, and deemed that even the breeze bore the
+sound of her lover's footsteps, as if he trode upon the viewless air.
+Mrs. Grosvenor, too, while she watched the tremulous flow of Sylvia's
+feelings, was deeply moved; she looked uneasily at the agitated girl, and
+was about to speak, when the opening of the street-door arrested the
+words upon her lips.
+
+Footsteps ascended the staircase, with a confident and familiar tread,
+and some one entered the drawing-room.  From the sofa where they sat, in
+the inner apartment, Mrs. Grosvenor and Sylvia could not discern the
+visitor.
+
+"Sylph!" cried a voice.  "Dearest Sylph!  Where are you, sweet Sylph
+Etherege?  Here is your Edgar Vaughan!"
+
+But instead of answering, or rising to meet her lover,--who had greeted
+her by the sweet and fanciful name, which, appropriate as it was to her
+character, was known only to him,--Sylvia grasped Mrs. Grosvenor's arm,
+while her whole frame shook with the throbbing of her heart.
+
+"Who is it?" gasped she.  "Who calls me Sylph?"
+
+Before Mrs. Grosvenor could reply, the stranger entered the room, bearing
+the lamp in his hand.  Approaching the sofa, he displayed to Sylvia the
+features of Edward Hamilton, illuminated by that evil smile, from which
+his face derived so marked an individuality.
+
+"Is not the miniature an admirable likeness?" inquired he.
+
+Sylvia shuddered, but had not power to turn away her white face from his
+gaze.  The miniature, which she had been holding in her hand, fell down
+upon the floor, where Hamilton, or Vaughan, set his foot upon it, and
+crushed the ivory counterfeit to fragments.
+
+"There, my sweet Sylph," he exclaimed.  "It was I that created your
+phantom-lover, and now I annihilate him!  Your dream is rudely broken.
+Awake, Sylph Etherege, awake to truth!  I am the only Edgar Vaughan!"
+
+"We have gone too far, Edgar Vaughan," said Mrs. Grosvenor, catching
+Sylvia in her arms.  The revengeful freak, which Vaughan's wounded vanity
+had suggested, had been countenanced by this lady, in the hope of curing
+Sylvia of her romantic notions, and reconciling her to the truths and
+realities of life.  "Look at the poor child!" she continued.  "I protest
+I tremble for the consequences!"
+
+"Indeed, madam!" replied Vaughan, sneeringly, as he threw the light of
+the lamp on Sylvia's closed eyes and marble features.  "Well, my
+conscience is clear.  I did but look into this delicate creature's heart;
+and with the pure fantasies that I found there, I made what seemed a
+man,--and the delusive shadow has wiled her away to Shadow-land, and
+vanished there!  It is no new tale.  Many a sweet maid has shared the lot
+of poor Sylph Etherege!"
+
+"And now, Edgar Vaughan," said Mrs. Grosvenor, as Sylvia's heart began
+faintly to throb again, "now try, in good earnest, to win back her love
+from the phantom which you conjured up.  If you succeed, she will be the
+better, her whole life long, for the lesson we have given her."
+
+Whether the result of the lesson corresponded with Mrs. Grosvenor's
+hopes, may be gathered from the closing scene of our story.  It had been
+made known to the fashionable world that Edgar Vaughan had returned from
+France, and, under the assumed name of Edward Hamilton, had won the
+affections of the lovely girl to whom he had been affianced in his
+boyhood.  The nuptials were to take place at an early date.  One evening,
+before the day of anticipated bliss arrived, Edgar Vaughan entered Mrs.
+Grosvenor's drawing-room, where he found that lady and Sylph Etherege.
+
+"Only that Sylvia makes no complaint," remarked Mrs. Grosvenor, "I should
+apprehend that the town air is ill-suited to her constitution.  She was
+always, indeed, a delicate creature; but now she is a mere gossamer.  Do
+but look at her!  Did you ever imagine anything so fragile?"
+
+Vaughan was already attentively observing his mistress, who sat in a
+shadowy and moonlighted recess of the room, with her dreamy eyes fixed
+steadfastly upon his own.  The bough of a tree was waving before the
+window, and sometimes enveloped her in the gloom of its shadow, into
+which she seemed to vanish.
+
+"Yes," he said, to Mrs. Grosvenor.  "I can scarcely deem her of the
+earth, earthy.  No wonder that I call her Sylph!  Methinks she will fade
+into the moonlight, which falls upon her through the window.  Or, in the
+open air, she might flit away upon the breeze, like a wreath of mist!"
+
+Sylvia's eyes grew yet brighter.  She waved her hand to Edgar Vaughan,
+with a gesture of ethereal triumph.
+
+"Farewell!" she said.  "I will neither fade into the moonlight, nor flit
+away upon the breeze.  Yet you cannot keep me here!"
+
+There was something in Sylvia's look and tones that startled Mrs.
+Grosvenor with a terrible apprehension.  But, as she was rushing towards
+the girl, Vaughan held her back.
+
+"Stay!" cried he, with a strange smile of mockery and anguish.  "Can our
+sweet Sylph be going to heaven, to seek the original of the miniature?"

+
+
+
+On a bright summer evening, two persons stood among the shrubbery of a
+garden, stealthily watching a young girl, who sat in the window seat of a
+neighboring mansion.  One of these unseen observers, a gentleman, was
+youthful, and had an air of high breeding and refinement, and a face
+marked with intellect, though otherwise of unprepossessing aspect.  His
+features wore even an ominous, though somewhat mirthful expression, while
+he pointed his long forefinger at the girl, and seemed to regard her as a
+creature completely within the scope of his influence.
+
+"The charm works!" said he, in a low, but emphatic whisper.
+
+"Do you know, Edward Hamilton,--since so you choose to be named,--do you
+know," said the lady beside him, "that I have almost a mind to break the
+spell at once?  What if the lesson should prove too severe!  True, if my
+ward could be thus laughed out of her fantastic nonsense, she might be
+the better for it through life.  But then, she is such a delicate
+creature!  And, besides, are you not ruining your own chance, by putting
+forward this shadow of a rival?"
+
+"But will he not vanish into thin air, at my bidding?"  rejoined Edward
+Hamilton.  "Let the charm work!"
+
+The girl's slender and sylph-like figure, tinged with radiance from the
+sunset clouds, and overhung with the rich drapery of the silken curtains,
+and set within the deep frame of the window, was a perfect picture; or,
+rather, it was like the original loveliness in a painter's fancy, from
+which the most finished picture is but an imperfect copy.  Though her
+occupation excited so much interest in the two spectators, she was merely
+gazing at a miniature which she held in her hand, encased in white satin
+and red morocco; nor did there appear to be any other cause for the smile
+of mockery and malice with which Hamilton regarded her.
+
+"The charm works!" muttered he, again.  "Our pretty Sylvia's scorn will
+have a dear retribution!"
+
+At this moment the girl raised her eyes, and, instead of a life-like
+semblance of the miniature, beheld the ill-omened shape of Edward
+Hamilton, who now stepped forth from his concealment in the shrubbery.
+
+Sylvia Etherege was an orphan girl, who had spent her life, till within a
+few months past, under the guardianship, and in the secluded dwelling, of
+an old bachelor uncle.  While yet in her cradle, she had been the
+destined bride of a cousin, who was no less passive in the betrothal than
+herself.  Their future union had been projected, as the means of uniting
+two rich estates, and was rendered highly expedient, if not
+indispensable, by the testamentary dispositions of the parents on both
+sides.  Edgar Vaughan, the promised bridegroom, had been bred from
+infancy in Europe, and had never seen the beautiful girl whose heart he
+was to claim as his inheritance.  But already, for several years, a
+correspondence had been kept up between tine cousins, and had produced an
+intellectual intimacy, though it could but imperfectly acquaint them with
+each other's character.
+
+Sylvia was shy, sensitive, and fanciful; and her guardian's secluded
+habits had shut her out from even so much of the world as is generally
+open to maidens of her age.  She had been left to seek associates and
+friends for herself in the haunts of imagination, and to converse with
+them, sometimes in the language of dead poets, oftener in the poetry of
+her own mind.  The companion whom she chiefly summoned up was the cousin
+with whose idea her earliest thoughts had been connected.  She made a
+vision of Edgar Vaughan, and tinted it with stronger hues than a mere
+fancy-picture, yet graced it with so many bright and delicate
+perfections, that her cousin could nowhere have encountered so dangerous
+a rival.  To this shadow she cherished a romantic fidelity.  With its
+airy presence sitting by her side, or gliding along her favorite paths,
+the loneliness of her young life was blissful; her heart was satisfied
+with love, while yet its virgin purity was untainted by the earthliness
+that the touch of a real lover would have left there.  Edgar Vaughan
+seemed to be conscious of her character; for, in his letters, he gave her
+a name that was happily appropriate to the sensitiveness of her
+disposition, the delicate peculiarity of her manners, and the ethereal
+beauty both of her mind and person.  Instead of Sylvia, he called her
+Sylph,--with the prerogative of a cousin and a lover,--his dear Sylph
+Etherege.
+
+When Sylvia was seventeen, her guardian died, and she passed under the
+care of Mrs. Grosvenor, a lady of wealth and fashion, and Sylvia's
+nearest relative, though a distant one.  While an inmate of Mrs.
+Grosvenor's family, she still preserved somewhat of her life-long habits
+of seclusion, and shrank from a too familiar intercourse with those
+around her.  Still, too, she was faithful to her cousin, or to the shadow
+which bore his name.
+
+The time now drew near when Edgar Vaughan, whose education had been
+completed by an extensive range of travel, was to revisit the soil of his
+nativity.  Edward Hamilton, a young gentleman, who had been Vaughan's
+companion, both in his studies and rambles, had already recrossed the
+Atlantic, bringing letters to Mrs. Grosvenor and Sylvia Etherege.  These
+credentials insured him an earnest welcome, which, however, on Sylvia's
+part, was not followed by personal partiality, or even the regard that
+seemed due to her cousin's most intimate friend.  As she herself could
+have assigned no cause for her repugnance, it might be termed
+instinctive.  Hamilton's person, it is true, was the reverse of
+attractive, especially when beheld for the first time.  Yet, in the eyes
+of the most fastidious judges, the defect of natural grace was
+compensated by the polish of his manners, and by the intellect which so
+often gleamed through his dark features.  Mrs. Grosvenor, with whom he
+immediately became a prodigious favorite, exerted herself to overcome
+Sylvia's dislike.  But, in this matter, her ward could neither be
+reasoned with nor persuaded.  The presence of Edward Hamilton was sure to
+render her cold, shy, and distant, abstracting all the vivacity from her
+deportment, as if a cloud had come betwixt her and the sunshine.
+
+The simplicity of Sylvia's demeanor rendered it easy for so keen an
+observer as Hamilton to detect her feelings.  Whenever any slight
+circumstance made him sensible of them, a smile might be seen to flit
+over the young man's sallow visage.  None, that had once beheld this
+smile, were in any danger of forgetting it; whenever they recalled to
+memory the features of Edward Hamilton, they were always duskily
+illuminated by this expression of mockery and malice.
+
+In a few weeks after Hamilton's arrival, he presented to Sylvia Etherege
+a miniature of her cousin, which, as he informed her, would have been
+delivered sooner, but was detained with a portion of his baggage.  This
+was the miniature in the contemplation of which we beheld Sylvia so
+absorbed, at the commencement of our story.  Such, in truth, was too
+often the habit of the shy and musing girl.  The beauty of the pictured
+countenance was almost too perfect to represent a human creature, that
+had been born of a fallen and world-worn race, and had lived to manhood
+amid ordinary troubles and enjoyments, and must become wrinkled with age
+and care.  It seemed too bright for a thing formed of dust, and doomed to
+crumble into dust again.  Sylvia feared that such a being would be too
+refined and delicate to love a simple girl like her.  Yet, even while her
+spirit drooped with that apprehension, the picture was but the masculine
+counterpart of Sylph Etherege's sylphlike beauty.  There was that
+resemblance between her own face and the miniature which is said often to
+exist between lovers whom Heaven has destined for each other, and which,
+in this instance, might be owing to the kindred blood of the two parties. 
+Sylvia felt, indeed, that there was something familiar in the
+countenance, so like a friend did the eyes smile upon her, and seem to
+imply a knowledge of her thoughts.  She could account for this impression
+only by supposing that, in some of her day-dreams, imagination had
+conjured up the true similitude of her distant and unseen lover.
+
+But now could Sylvia give a brighter semblance of reality to those day-
+dreams.  Clasping the miniature to her heart, she could summon forth,
+from that haunted cell of pure and blissful fantasies, the life-like
+shadow, to roam with her in the moonlight garden.  Even at noontide it
+sat with her in the arbor, when the sunshine threw its broken flakes of
+gold into the clustering shade.  The effect upon her mind was hardly less
+powerful than if she had actually listened to, and reciprocated, the vows
+of Edgar Vaughan; for, though the illusion never quite deceived her, yet
+the remembrance was as distinct as of a remembered interview.  Those
+heavenly eyes gazed forever into her soul, which drank at them as at a
+fountain, and was disquieted if reality threw a momentary cloud between. 
+She heard the melody of a voice breathing sentiments with which her own
+chimed in like music.  O happy, yet hapless girl!  Thus to create the
+being whom she loves, to endow him with all the attributes that were most
+fascinating to her heart, and then to flit with the airy creature into
+the realm of fantasy and moonlight, where dwelt his dreamy kindred!  For
+her lover wiled Sylvia away from earth, which seemed strange, and dull,
+and darksome, and lured her to a country where her spirit roamed in
+peaceful rapture, deeming that it had found its home.  Many, in their
+youth, have visited that land of dreams, and wandered so long in its
+enchanted groves, that, when banished thence, they feel like exiles
+everywhere.
+
+The dark-browed Edward Hamilton, like the villain of a tale, would often
+glide through the romance wherein poor Sylvia walked.  Sometimes, at the
+most blissful moment of her ecstasy, when the features of the miniature
+were pictured brightest in the air, they would suddenly change, and
+darken, and be transformed into his visage.  And always, when such change
+occurred, the intrusive visage wore that peculiar smile with which
+Hamilton had glanced at Sylvia.
+
+Before the close of summer, it was told Sylvia Etherege that Vaughan had
+arrived from France, and that she would meet him--would meet, for the
+first time, the loved of years--that very evening.  We will not tell how
+often and how earnestly she gazed upon the miniature, thus endeavoring to
+prepare herself for the approaching interview, lest the throbbing of her
+timorous heart should stifle the words of welcome.  While the twilight
+grew deeper and duskier, she sat with Mrs. Grosvenor in an inner
+apartment, lighted only by the softened gleam from an alabaster lamp,
+which was burning at a distance on the centre-table of the drawing-room. 
+Never before had Sylph Etherege looked so sylph-like.  She had communed
+with a creature of imagination, till her own loveliness seemed but the
+creation of a delicate and dreamy fancy.  Every vibration of her spirit
+was visible in her frame, as she listened to the rattling of wheels and
+the tramp upon the pavement, and deemed that even the breeze bore the
+sound of her lover's footsteps, as if he trode upon the viewless air. 
+Mrs. Grosvenor, too, while she watched the tremulous flow of Sylvia's
+feelings, was deeply moved; she looked uneasily at the agitated girl, and
+was about to speak, when the opening of the street-door arrested the
+words upon her lips.
+
+Footsteps ascended the staircase, with a confident and familiar tread,
+and some one entered the drawing-room.  From the sofa where they sat, in
+the inner apartment, Mrs. Grosvenor and Sylvia could not discern the
+visitor.
+
+"Sylph!" cried a voice.  "Dearest Sylph!  Where are you, sweet Sylph
+Etherege?  Here is your Edgar Vaughan!"
+
+But instead of answering, or rising to meet her lover,--who had greeted
+her by the sweet and fanciful name, which, appropriate as it was to her
+character, was known only to him,--Sylvia grasped Mrs. Grosvenor's arm,
+while her whole frame shook with the throbbing of her heart.
+
+"Who is it?" gasped she.  "Who calls me Sylph?"
+
+Before Mrs. Grosvenor could reply, the stranger entered the room, bearing
+the lamp in his hand.  Approaching the sofa, he displayed to Sylvia the
+features of Edward Hamilton, illuminated by that evil smile, from which
+his face derived so marked an individuality.
+
+"Is not the miniature an admirable likeness?" inquired he.
+
+Sylvia shuddered, but had not power to turn away her white face from his
+gaze.  The miniature, which she had been holding in her hand, fell down
+upon the floor, where Hamilton, or Vaughan, set his foot upon it, and
+crushed the ivory counterfeit to fragments.
+
+"There, my sweet Sylph," he exclaimed.  "It was I that created your
+phantom-lover, and now I annihilate him!  Your dream is rudely broken. 
+Awake, Sylph Etherege, awake to truth!  I am the only Edgar Vaughan!"
+
+"We have gone too far, Edgar Vaughan," said Mrs. Grosvenor, catching
+Sylvia in her arms.  The revengeful freak, which Vaughan's wounded vanity
+had suggested, had been countenanced by this lady, in the hope of curing
+Sylvia of her romantic notions, and reconciling her to the truths and
+realities of life.  "Look at the poor child!" she continued.  "I protest
+I tremble for the consequences!"
+
+"Indeed, madam!" replied Vaughan, sneeringly, as he threw the light of
+the lamp on Sylvia's closed eyes and marble features.  "Well, my
+conscience is clear.  I did but look into this delicate creature's heart;
+and with the pure fantasies that I found there, I made what seemed a
+man,--and the delusive shadow has wiled her away to Shadow-land, and
+vanished there!  It is no new tale.  Many a sweet maid has shared the lot
+of poor Sylph Etherege!"
+
+"And now, Edgar Vaughan," said Mrs. Grosvenor, as Sylvia's heart began
+faintly to throb again, "now try, in good earnest, to win back her love
+from the phantom which you conjured up.  If you succeed, she will be the
+better, her whole life long, for the lesson we have given her."
+
+Whether the result of the lesson corresponded with Mrs. Grosvenor's
+hopes, may be gathered from the closing scene of our story.  It had been
+made known to the fashionable world that Edgar Vaughan had returned from
+France, and, under the assumed name of Edward Hamilton, had won the
+affections of the lovely girl to whom he had been affianced in his
+boyhood.  The nuptials were to take place at an early date.  One evening,
+before the day of anticipated bliss arrived, Edgar Vaughan entered Mrs.
+Grosvenor's drawing-room, where he found that lady and Sylph Etherege.
+
+"Only that Sylvia makes no complaint," remarked Mrs. Grosvenor, "I should
+apprehend that the town air is ill-suited to her constitution.  She was
+always, indeed, a delicate creature; but now she is a mere gossamer.  Do
+but look at her!  Did you ever imagine anything so fragile?"
+
+Vaughan was already attentively observing his mistress, who sat in a
+shadowy and moonlighted recess of the room, with her dreamy eyes fixed
+steadfastly upon his own.  The bough of a tree was waving before the
+window, and sometimes enveloped her in the gloom of its shadow, into
+which she seemed to vanish.
+
+"Yes," he said, to Mrs. Grosvenor.  "I can scarcely deem her of the
+earth, earthy.  No wonder that I call her Sylph!  Methinks she will fade
+into the moonlight, which falls upon her through the window.  Or, in the
+open air, she might flit away upon the breeze, like a wreath of mist!"
+
+Sylvia's eyes grew yet brighter.  She waved her hand to Edgar Vaughan,
+with a gesture of ethereal triumph.
+
+"Farewell!" she said.  "I will neither fade into the moonlight, nor flit
+away upon the breeze.  Yet you cannot keep me here!"
+
+There was something in Sylvia's look and tones that startled Mrs.
+Grosvenor with a terrible apprehension.  But, as she was rushing towards
+the girl, Vaughan held her back.
+
+"Stay!" cried he, with a strange smile of mockery and anguish.  "Can our
+sweet Sylph be going to heaven, to seek the original of the miniature?"

+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!

+you may distribute copies of this eBook if you want to.
+

+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES

+
+If you discover a Defect in this eBook within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that

+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
