Confessions of a Disappointed Suitor in Naples and London
In a rambled narrative, the narrator recounts ill-fated love with Arabella, a scheming friend Dick Tarleton, and a chain of public mortification. After theft, travel, and letters, Tarleton and Arabella wed in Paris. Tarleton dies in a duel, Arabella becomes estranged, and the narrator ends with Arabella’s murder in Naples and a lingering sense of sorrow rather than triumph.
