．what do we know about this young man？You don't know his real name，or anything about him．'
'No，but I call him Prince Charming．He's everything to me．I love him and he loves me．Oh Mother，let me be happy！ '
'You're too young to think of love，'said her mother．She looked at her daughter's lovely face， and tried to warn her of the dangers of love，but the girl did not listen．She was locked in her prison of love．
At that moment the girl's brother entered the room．He was a heavy，dark young man，not at all like his sister．
'I've heard about a gentleman who visits you every night at the theatre，'he said to his sister．'Who is he？What does he want？'
'Oh James，don't be angry with me today，'cried Sybil．'You're leaving for Australia tomorrow，and today is your last day．Come for a walk with me in the park．I'll go and get ready．'She danced out of the room，and her mother and brother could hear her singing as she ran upstairs．
James Vane turned to his mother．'My new life as a sailor will keep me away from England for many years，'he said．'But I don't like to leave Sybil alone．'
'Sybil has me，her mother，you know，'said Mrs Vane quietly．
'Then take care of her．'James Vane gave his mother a long，hard look．'If that man hurts my sister，I'll find him，and kill him like a dog．'

“妈妈，妈妈，我太高兴了。”姑娘喊着，“你也应该高兴。”
文太太用瘦削白皙的双手抚摸女儿的头。“我只有在剧院看着你时才快乐。”她说，“我们穷，我们需要钱——别忘记这一点。我们了解这个年轻人什么呢？我们不知道他的真实姓名，不知道他的任何事情。”
“是的，我不知道；我叫他'迷人的王子'，他是我的一切，我爱他，他爱我。哦，妈妈，让我高兴些吧！”
“你们太年轻，还不能考虑爱情。”母亲说。她看着女儿可爱的面庞，努力提醒她爱情的危险。但是姑娘不听，她已经把自己锁进了爱情的监牢。
这时姑娘的哥哥走进了房间。他是一个壮实黝黑的年轻人，一点儿也不像他的妹妹。
“我听说一位绅士每天晚上到剧院去见你。”他对妹妹说，“他是谁？他想干什么？”
“哦，詹姆斯，今天别生我的气。”西比尔嚷着，“你明天要动身去澳大利亚，今天是你在家的最后一天。和我去公园散步吧，我去准备一下。”她舞出了房间，母亲和哥哥能听见她上楼梯时唱着歌。
詹姆斯·文转向母亲。“我当了水手，这种新的生活会使我离开英格兰很多年。”他说，“但我不想丢下西比尔一个人。”
“西比尔有我，她的母亲。”文太太平静地说。
“那么好好照看她。”詹姆斯·文看了母亲好一会儿。“如果那个男人伤害我妹妹，我会找到他，像杀死一条狗一样杀死他。”

As they waited for Dorian Gray the next night，Lord Henry and Basil Hallward discussed Sybil Vane．Basil had not been happy at the news of Dorian's marriage plans．
'An actress！'he had cried．'But Dorian is a gentleman，the grandson of Lord Kelso．He can't marry an actress．'
'Why not？'Lord Henry had said coolly．'He'll love her wildly for six months，and then suddenly he'll be in love with another woman．It will be very amusing to watch．'
But when Dorian arrived and told the story of his love，Basil became a little happier．'You're right，'he told Dorian．'The woman that you love must be wonderful．I can see already that she's changed you．'
'Yes，'said Dorian happily，'yes，Sybil has changed me．From this moment I shall be good．I'll never listen again，Harry，to your dangerous ideas about life and pleasure．'
Lord Henry smiled．'Ah，'he said，'when we are happy，we are always good，but when we are good，we are not always happy．'
Basil Hallward shook his head at this，but Dorian laughed．'You cut life to pieces with your clever words，Harry．'
The theatre was crowded and noisy，but when Sybil Vane appeared，everyone became silent．She was one of the most beautiful girds that Lord Henry had ever seen．'Lovely！Lovely！'he said softly．
But although Sybil looked beautiful，her voice sounded unnatural．She spoke Juliet's words，but there was no feeling in them．Her voice was lovely，but it took away all the life from the words People in the theatre began talking loudly，and after half an hour Lord Henry stood up and put on his coat．
'She's very beautiful，Dorian，but she's not an actress，'he said．'Let's go．'
'I think that Miss Vane must be ill，'added Basil．'We'll come another night．'
Dorian did not look at them．'Go away．I want to be alone，'he said miserably，and as his friends left， he covered his face with his hands．
When the play came to its painful end，Dorian went to see Sybil．
'I wasn't a very good Juliet tonight，'she said，and looked at him with love in her eyes．
'You were terrible，'said Dorian coldly．'My friends were bored．I was bored．I suppose you were ill．'
She did not seem to hear him．'Dorian，'she cried，'before I knew you，the theatre was my only life．I thought that it was all true
'No，but I call him Prince Charming．He's everything to me．I love him and he loves me．Oh Mother，let me be happy！ '
'You're too young to think of love，'said her mother．She looked at her daughter's lovely face， and tried to warn her of the dangers of love，but the girl did not listen．She was locked in her prison of love．
