| Back | "I want your worship, senor," said the farmer, "to do me the favour of giving me a letter of recommendation to the girl's father, begging him to be so good as to let this marriage take place, as we are not ill-matched either in the gifts of fortune or of nature; for to tell the truth, senor governor, my son is possessed of a devil, and there is not a day but the evil spirits torment him three or four times; and from having once fallen into the fire, he has his face puckered up like a piece of parchment, and his eyes watery and always running; but he has the disposition of an angel, and if it was not for belabouring and pummelling himself he'd be a saint." |

| Front | -Querría, señor -respondió el labrador-, que vuestra merced me hiciese merced de darme una carta de favor para mi consuegro, suplicándole sea servido de que este casamiento se haga, pues no somos desiguales en los bienes de fortuna, ni en los de la naturaleza; porque, para decir la verdad, señor gobernador, mi hijo es endemoniado, y no hay día que tres o cuatro veces no le atormenten los malignos espíritus; y de haber caído una vez en el fuego, tiene el rostro arrugado como pergamino, y los ojos algo llorosos y manantiales; pero tiene una condición de un ángel, y si no es que se aporrea y se da de puñadas él mesmo a sí mesmo, fuera un bendito. |
