Gypsy Breynton is the heroine of a series of books written by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. The books were written in 1866–67 for Sunday schools and so are of an improving nature.

A few words spoken, just as the conversation ended, became golden mottoes that helped her over many rough places in her life. "It is all the old trouble, Gypsy,— you 'didn't think.' A little self-control, a moment's quiet thought, would have saved all this." "Oh, I know it!" sobbed Gypsy. "That's what always ails me. I'm always doing things, and always sorry for them. I mean to do right, and I cannot remember. ... What shall I do with myself, mother?"
