"Paul Clifford", Chapter 19, by Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Come, the plot thickens! and another fold
Of the warm cloak of mystery wraps us around.
..................
And for their loves?
Behold the seal is on them!
Tanner of Tyburn.

The Barringtons? Any Brits want to fill us in as to who they were and why they were such a big deal?
AEtat: Shortened from Latin 'aetatis', genitive of aetas, meaning "at the age of"
importunate: persistent, especially to the point of annoyance or intrusion
The picture used is "The Serenade" (1807–08) by Bartolomeo Pinelli
Yeah, yeah, it hardly matches Clifford's serenading of Lucy, which is done at night, there's not obviously an audience on the street (although there could be), there isn't a second musician with him (presumably, although we aren't given an eye-witness visual of the incidents from Lucy, so it actually could be, but probably not), Lucy is not noted as going to her window to watch, and anyways the style of the building there isn't obviously what we would expect to find in Bath circa 1800. So sure, there's a lot wrong here with this picture, but it is not easy to find a good free-to-use picture of a man serenading a woman at night in an English city from 200-250 years ago.
