Sybil nearly says that she wanted to be a radical, but her parents wouldn't allow her, only thinks better of it. It's not entirely the right sentiment, either, especially when she sees that familiar lost look in his eyes. Sybil squeezes his arm before speaking. "My father tried to keep me in the house when I wanted to go to political meetings and my mother wasn't fond of my becoming a nurse at the beginning. As it was they thought all of my causes were so dreadfully boring. But I was hardly a radical. I wish I had stood up more for things."
