ABSTRACT

When the conduct of Paulina became insupportable to Angelo, which it frequently did, he would rush from the house, and, a solitary being in the midst of society, seek out some temporary amusement to drown the uneasiness and dissatisfaction of his mind. Often, rather than return home, he would wander for hours about the streets, dreading to encounter the fierceness of Paulina’s resentment, on some frivolous pretext, or for some alledged fault, of which he would be unconscious.
