| Back | I answered in a few words that I would do so, and that she must remember to commend us to Lela Marien with all the prayers the captive had taught her. This having been done, steps were taken to ransom our three comrades, so as to enable them to quit the bano, and lest, seeing me ransomed and themselves not, though the money was forthcoming, they should make a disturbance about it and the devil should prompt them to do something that might injure Zoraida; for though their position might be sufficient to relieve me from this apprehension, nevertheless I was unwilling to run any risk in the matter; and so I had them ransomed in the same way as I was, handing over all the money to the merchant so that he might with safety and confidence give security; without, however, confiding our arrangement and secret to him, which might have been dangerous. |

| Front | Respondíle en breves palabras que así lo haría, y que tuviese cuidado de encomendarnos a Lela Marién, con todas aquellas oraciones que la cautiva le había enseñado. »Hecho esto, dieron orden en que los tres compañeros nuestros se rescatasen, por facilitar la salida del baño, y porque, viéndome a mí rescatado, y a ellos no, pues había dinero, no se alborotasen y les persuadiese el diablo que hiciesen alguna cosa en perjuicio de Zoraida; que, puesto que el ser ellos quien eran me podía asegurar deste temor, con todo eso, no quise poner el negocio en aventura, y así, los hice rescatar por la misma orden que yo me rescaté, entregando todo el dinero al mercader, para que, con certeza y seguridad, pudiese hacer la fianza; al cual nunca descubrimos nuestro trato y secreto, por el peligro que había. |
