| Back | At last he decided upon revealing all to Camilla, and, as there was no want of opportunity for doing so, he found her alone the same day; but she, as soon as she had the chance of speaking to him, said, "Lothario my friend, I must tell thee I have a sorrow in my heart which fills it so that it seems ready to burst; and it will be a wonder if it does not; for the audacity of Leonela has now reached such a pitch that every night she conceals a gallant of hers in this house and remains with him till morning, at the expense of my reputation; inasmuch as it is open to anyone to question it who may see him quitting my house at such unseasonable hours; but what distresses me is that I cannot punish or chide her, for her privity to our intrigue bridles my mouth and keeps me silent about hers, while I am dreading that some catastrophe will come of it." |

| Front | Al fin, acordó de dar cuenta de todo a Camila; y, como no faltaba lugar para poderlo hacer, aquel mismo día la halló sola, y ella, así como vio que le podía hablar, le dijo. »-Sabed, amigo Lotario, que tengo una pena en el corazón que me le aprieta de suerte que parece que quiere reventar en el pecho, y ha de ser maravilla si no lo hace, pues ha llegado la desvergüenza de Leonela a tanto, que cada noche encierra a un galán suyo en esta casa y se está con él hasta el día, tan a costa de mi crédito cuanto le quedará campo abierto de juzgarlo al que le viere salir a horas tan inusitadas de mi casa. Y lo que me fatiga es que no la puedo castigar ni reñir: que el ser ella secretario de nuestros tratos me ha puesto un freno en la boca para callar los suyos, y temo que de aquí ha de nacer algún mal suceso. |
