The small piece that followed--" An English Village Lawyer"--was excellent. Oh! the pleasure of being without lappets, trains, and stars! We were all in particularly good spirits. To-day we are to ride for the last time! How could one be gay? Our ride was not long. The Duke called, and we walked to his stables together. We dined with the Duke at five o'clock. A large party of gentlemen. Sir George Murray1 accompanied us to the spectacle at the Tuileries. I arrived late, and should not have found a place, if our Ambassadress had not taken me into her box. I saw, very well indeed, the touching ballet of "Nina," in which Biggottini made me cry. I was overcome by the delicacy and pathos of her acting. The opera, an Italian one, was good. Madame Camporese sang extremely well. She does not usually sing in public. A vaudeville, given in honour of the marriage, was full of ex 1 General Sir George Murray (1772--1846), Quartermaster-General in the Peninsular War; M.P. for Perth, 1823; Colonial Secretary 1828-30. Edited Marlborough's Despatches. Madame Camporese, who was a great favourite in England, married a member of the Giustiniani family, and originally cultivated music only as an accomplishment. Subsequent events caused her to convert what had been her amusement into her profession, and she became a concert singer. She never appeared on the stage prior to her visit to England, circa 1814. Her first appearance was in " Penelope," an opera which had no success. But she made a great impression as Desdemona, and in the opera of "Mose." She was a good musician, had great powers, was very...

Excerpt from book: i8o7] SCANDALOUS TALES 33 up until daylight chained to his chair by the fascination of the game I passed many wretched nights, wasting the midnight oil, and waiting for my husband's return Lady Sefton had given me some excellent advice, which I determined to follow. I never went to sleep until my husband came home. During the first years of our married life this necessitated a great deal of reading, and affected my eyesight. Those eyes which, according to Saunders's miniature,1 were once so large and brilliant, began insensibly to grow dim. During this, my first real London season, a gay and restless carnival to a young married woman?for I was only nineteen?many were the tales whispered into my ears of Sir John's unworthiness I was told that I was wasting my affections on a profligate; that I did not possess his undivided love These were the cruel things said, under the guise of friendship, by men who had sought my fortune, and by women who had been jealous of Sir John's future wife Among the latter was the lovely Lady Borrington, Lady Jersey's sister, who was married to a man she despised, and who was at that time desperately in love with my husband. She tried, by every artifice, to induce him to go off with her. This lady's subsequent flight with Lord Arthur Paget makes this revelation less indiscreet. I was not, at that time, aware of her motives in breathing poisonous insinuations into my unwilling ears. If only I had known I should not have been so unhappy The only effect which her cruel confidences had upon me was to make my devotion to my husband more intense, and to convince me of the necessity of making Sir John so happy in his home that he would not crave for the love of other women. I exerted every power with which nature and study had endowed me, to fasc...
