As for misses, if they are impudent and jilting, they are bobbed, the young gallants turning sober, and repenting of their lewd courses.

My Lord, I hope, 'tis not his natural Temper; For e'er we parted, from a brutal Rudeness, He grew to all the Softness Grief could dictate. He talkt of breach of Vows, of Death, and Ruin, And dying at the Feet of a wrong'd Maid; I know not what he meant. Lord. Ay, there's his Grief; there is some jilting Hussy has drawn him in; but I'll revenge my self on both. A Letter for your Lordship.
While many held Dorothy in slight esteem for her instability and delicacy, and thought she was no desirable helpmeet for any man, some were of the opinion that she had shown praiseworthy judgment and shrewdness in jilting Burr for Eugene.

He turned toward the saucy speaker and shook his finger sternly. "Jilting me, and then taunting me of my failure! Katharine Crilly, perhaps before midnight the slipper will be on the other foot!"

What in the world, at this time of all others, was to be made of an English girl jilting a prominent Dutch politician a week before the wedding day!

And this was in the month of January of the year 1779. As for Aloysia, she had cause enough to regret jilting one of the greatest, as well as one of the most gentle, souls in the world. She married the actor Lange and lived unhappily with him.

Catching up his temper thus cleverly, he curbed that habitual runaway, and retired from his old friend's presence to explode in the society of the solitary Martha. Annette's behaviour was as bitterly criticized by the sister as by the brother. "She has gone to those Fellingham people; and she may be thinking of jilting us," Mrs. Cavely said.
"As for the rest, I guess how it is, and I scorn to bear malice, or tell tales, as much as another; but no thanks to that little jilting devil, Jenny Dennison, who deserves a tight skelping for trying to lead an honest lad into a scrape, just because he was so silly as to like her good-for-little chit face."
They say you've gone and engaged yourself to Mr Preston, and now refuse to marry him; and they call that jilting. 'Do you wish me to marry him, mamma? asked Cynthia, her face in a flame, her eyes cast down.
