ABSTRACT
Julia, whose credit in the fashionable world had suffered considerably by the adventure at her faro-table, departed, with her Gallic lover, for the land of liberty;81 while Mrs. Morley remained the domesticated friend of the lovely lady Louisa. Felicity now seemed to strew with roses her journey of existence, and every day looked brighter than the former. This scene of rational delight had continued four months, when Mrs. Morley received a letter from Derbyshire, informing her that her husband’s health required his speedy departure for Italy; and at the same time requesting to see her previous to his commencing the journey.
