The English lady trembling with passion (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heatedly

'with passion' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the english lady trembling' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'trembling' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'e'+'lady'='theelady'
'theelady' anagrammed gives 'HEATEDLY'.

(Other definitions for heatedly that I've seen before include "Angrily, being warm?" , "With passion" , "How people might argue" , "In an emotional and inflamed manner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
