Innamorato

Her innamorato, who came hither very ſlenderly equipt, has ſent for his baggage to London, which, in all probability, will not arrive in time for the wedding; […]

“Sir,” said the amiable damsel, (wiping with the tail of her petticoat a tear which started to her eye, upon hearing such scurvy epithets applied to her innamorato,) “How can you?”

If a wife be caught sinning, she and her innamorato are put to death by the husband or his friends.

They had supped at the saloon, of infamous celebrity in company with the female, to whom we have alluded, and who unfortunately left the fish shop time enough before her innamorato to excite a fatal passion in the bosom of the complainant.

He then takes her to Paris, where her uneducated head betrays her heart, and she prepares a world of “moral suffering” for her justly jealous husband. In a duel with her innamorato he is wounded, on which he separates from her without éclat, though with much pain, and resorts to travelling, but finds her on his return enjoying a criminal notoriety in Paris, which urges him to obtain a formal divorce.

This however did not satisfy the lady; and having gone the utmost lengths towards her innamorato, she insisted on a divorce in all the forms, and a legal marriage with the youth she loved.

Opposition is its nourishment, for it is her ambition to be a heroine; and though she might disdain her innamorato were he admitted to her mother’s drawing-room, she will think him irresistible as she smiles on him from a garret-window; and will nurse and pamper her capricious and wayward fancy, till it becomes a dangerous disease.

To this conclusion everything so smoothly tended, that Juliana found herself Mrs. Brading, some little time before the failings and defects of her innamorato gleamed upon her awakened senses.
