Question

And so true is this, that I recollect a grandmother of mine on the father's side, whenever she saw any dame in a venerable hood, used to say to me, 'Grandson, that one is like Dame Quintanona,' from which I conclude that she must have known her, or at least had managed to see some portrait of her.

Accepted Answer

Y es esto tan ansí, que me acuerdo yo que me decía una mi agüela de partes de mi padre, cuando veía alguna dueña con tocas reverendas: ''Aquélla, nieto, se parece a la dueña Quintañona''; de donde arguyo yo que la debió de conocer ella o, por lo menos, debió de alcanzar a ver algún retrato suyo.
