| Back | Camilla was struck with alarm at hearing what Lothario said, and with much anger, and great good sense, she reproved him and rebuked his base design and the foolish and mischievous resolution he had made; but as woman has by nature a nimbler wit than man for good and for evil, though it is apt to fail when she sets herself deliberately to reason, Camilla on the spur of the moment thought of a way to remedy what was to all appearance irremediable, and told Lothario to contrive that the next day Anselmo should conceal himself in the place he mentioned, for she hoped from his concealment to obtain the means of their enjoying themselves for the future without any apprehension; and without revealing her purpose to him entirely she charged him to be careful, as soon as Anselmo was concealed, to come to her when Leonela should call him, and to all she said to him to answer as he would have answered had he not known that Anselmo was listening. |

| Front | Pidióle perdón desta locura, y consejo para poder remedialla y salir bien de tan revuelto laberinto como su mal discurso le había puesto. »Espantada quedó Camila de oír lo que Lotario le decía, y con mucho enojo y muchas y discretas razones le riñó y afeó su mal pensamiento y la simple y mala determinación que había tenido. Pero, como naturalmente tiene la mujer ingenio presto para el bien y para el mal más que el varón, puesto que le va faltando cuando de propósito se pone a hacer discursos, luego al instante halló Camila el modo de remediar tan al parecer inremediable negocio, y dijo a Lotario que procurase que otro día se escondiese Anselmo donde decía, porque ella pensaba sacar de su escondimiento comodidad para que desde allí en adelante los dos se gozasen sin sobresalto alguno; y, sin declararle del todo su pensamiento, le advirtió que tuviese cuidado que, en estando Anselmo escondido, él viniese cuando Leonela le llamase, y que a cuanto ella le dijese le respondiese como respondiera aunque no supiera que Anselmo le escuchaba. |
