[Typo] The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

[Alicia Lalicon]

Hello,

I noticed "Sibyl" spelled as "Sybil" in two instances, both in Chapter 5:

• "pain. Sybil rushed"
• "In Sybil’s own room"

https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/oscar-wilde/the-picture-of-dorian-gray

I checked the original scans to confirm the errors didn't originate from there and they do say "Sibyl" in both instances.

Hope I did this correctly, as it's my first contribution. Thanks!

Thanks, these should be fixed now!

Hello again, picked up on two more typos after finishing the book:

Chapter 11

• ebook: "decay of a beau that"
• Scans: "decay of a beauty that"

Chapter 12

• ebook: "always a stanch friend"
• Scans: "always a staunch friend"

Thanks, these should be fixed now!
