| Back | At once all assailed Quiteria and pressed her, some with prayers, and others with tears, and others with persuasive arguments, to give her hand to poor Basilio; but she, harder than marble and more unmoved than any statue, seemed unable or unwilling to utter a word, nor would she have given any reply had not the priest bade her decide quickly what she meant to do, as Basilio now had his soul at his teeth, and there was no time for hesitation. |

| Front | Luego acudieron todos a Quiteria, y unos con ruegos, y otros con lágrimas, y otros con eficaces razones, la persuadían que diese la mano al pobre Basilio; y ella, más dura que un mármol y más sesga que una estatua, mostraba que ni sabía ni podía, ni quería responder palabra; ni la respondiera si el cura no la dijera que se determinase presto en lo que había de hacer, porque tenía Basilio ya el alma en los dientes, y no daba lugar a esperar inresolutas determinaciones. |
