Question

Who could have thought that Don Fernando, a highborn gentleman, intelligent, bound to me by gratitude for my services, one that could win the object of his love wherever he might set his affections, could have become so obdurate, as they say, as to rob me of my one ewe lamb that was not even yet in my possession?

Accepted Answer

¿Quién pudiera imaginar que don Fernando, caballero ilustre, discreto, obligado de mis servicios, poderoso para alcanzar lo que el deseo amoroso le pidiese dondequiera que le ocupase, se había de enconar, como suele decirse, en tomarme a mí una sola oveja, que aún no poseía?
