H--h and R--s--w could also give some affecting descriptions of the
Tartar sultana's rage when armed with jealousy or resentment. Her
residence, No. 30, B--k--r-street, has long been celebrated as the three
x x x; a name probably given to it by some spark who found the sultana
three times more cross than even common report had stated her to be."
The night was now fast wearing away, when Crony again directed our
attention to the right-hand corner of the room, where, just under the
orchestra, appeared the elder sister of the notorious Harriette Wilson
seated, and in close conversation with the Milesian M. C, O'M--------a,
who, according to his usual custom, was dispensing his entertaining
anecdotes of all his acquaintance who graced the present scene. "That
is Amy Campbell, otherwise Sydenham, &e., &c, but now legally Bochsa, of
whom Harriette has since told so many agreeable stories relative to
the black puddings and Argyle; however, considerable suspicion attaches
itself to Harriette's anecdotes of her elder sister, particularly as
she herself admits they were not very good friends, and Harriette never
would forgive Amy for seducing the Duke of Argyle from his allegiance
to her. Mrs. Campbell was for some years the favourite sultana of his
grace, and has a son by him, a fine boy, now about twelve years of age,
who goes by the family name, and for whose support the kind-hearted duke
allows the mother a very handsome annuity. Amy is certainly a woman of
considerable talent; a good musician, as might have been expected from
her attachment to the harpist, and an excellent linguist, speaking the
French, Spanish, and Italian languages with the greatest fluency. In
her person she begins to exhibit the ravages of time, is somewhat
_embonpoint_, with ~48~~dark hair and fine eyes, but rather of the
keen order of countenance than the agreeable; and report says, that
the Signior composer, amid his plurality of wives, never found a more
difficult task to preserve the equilibrium of domestic harmony.

By the side of this fair one, arm in arm with a well-known bookseller,
you may perceive Harriette Kochforte, alias Wilson, who, according to
her own account, has had as many amours as the Grand Seignor can boast
wives, and with just as little of affection in the _affaires de cour_ as
his sublime highness, only with something more of publicity. Harriette
gives the honour of her introduction into the mysteries of Cytherea
to the Earl of C
