@@Michiganian8I do believe it’s smart in some situations, but I think with this particular character, Sybil, with soo much growth potential, she made a mistake. Look at Lily James. If Jessica Brown-Findlay would’ve stayed, I believe she would’ve made Sybil iconic. I recently read an interview with her, I think it was an English local magazine, and the headline was Lady Sybil where you’ve been? So even after she left early to avoid that, she’s still remembered for that, why? Because she hasn’t done anything exactly different or bigger, and I believe if she would’ve stayed, she could have become a bigger star, hence having more opportunities on the long run.

Sybil is who Maud Bagshaw would like to have been, had she been brave enough to flout tradition and her position. Sybil gave up everything to be with the man she loved and her values, such was her strength of character. Maud Bagshaw couldn't do that and never married her lover, keeping him and their daughter secret. (I know times changed in those decades, but I suspect Maud saw similarities in herself and Sybil's choices.) I suspect that's why she likes Tom so much.

I would not have been that gentle (nor am I today any of that). But she does it in such a disarming manner. Classic. And one of my favorite comments from the dowager was (other than, "what's a weekend???") Sybil is allowed to have an opinion when she is married at which time her husband tells her what opinion to have. Right. But I loved Mary's reaction (laughing) "Oh granny."

In real life, her family would've disowned her and she would've grown to regret her decision. She has no concept of what it is to live with unending instability and hardship. She has no concept of what it would mean to raise her children in a harsh world and the disservice and regret that would come in knowing she could have given her children a better life. She has no concept of what it is to grow older and look back at young love and something you once felt such conviction for and know it was only because you'd never experienced anything else. As you age you realize falling in love is a passing state and it's not difficult to find with multiple people throughout life. She would've realized had she waited she'd just as easily fallen for someone who could've given her a nice life. If she waited she might have lived.

Since Sybil was of age, why did they think they needed to go to Gretna Green? Did they just not look into the legal aspect?

Even a special license took a few days while Gretna Green and jumping over the Anvil was instantaneous marriage

Tom really was an inconsiderate shite in the earlier seasons, forcing the one he loves to choose between himself and her family. Instead of trying to convince people he was right for her, he just wanted to alienate her from everything she knew.
