 Trilby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A trilby or trilby hat is a soft felt men's hat with a narrow brim and a deeply indented crown.
The novel's Trilby is described as having exceptionally pretty feet, which would cause a narrow indentation of the kind seen in trilby hats; some sources attribute the hat's name to this fact.
Trilby was also the informal name given to William Norman Ewer, a foreign correspondent for a socialist London newspaper in the late 19th and first half of the 20th Century.

 Disciplining the Diva: Teaching Trilby to Sing
Her voice, unlike Trilby's, "was just a light native warble, a throstle's pipe, all in the head and nose and throat (a voice he didn't understand, for once), a thing of mere youth and health and bloom and high spirits--like her beauty, such as it was--beauté du diable, beauté damnée" (45).
Trilby's mouth and her throat, in particular, are described by Svengali in precise detail, compared originally to immense religious structures but, as he goes on, to musical instruments.
While Trilby's case is different from Bompard's in that she does not commit any kind of criminal activity while under the "hypnotic influence" of Svengali, a form of criminal intent is nonetheless attached to Svengali by the other characters in the novel as well as the narrator.

She was pert rather than innocent and childish; there was little variation between Trilby O'Ferral and La Svengali; and when she died it seemed not because the vitality of her demoniac master had passed from her, but because she fell down and bumped her pretty little head.
