How could I help being astonished when, without having the least expectation of such a thing, I meet you face to face--you, of whom we have so often spoken together, you whom he loves with all his soul, you whom he had taught me to love before I had seen you!
Y ¿cómo no queréis que me sorprenda, cuando sin sospechármelo me encuentro con vos, de quien hemos hablado con tanta frecuencia juntos, con vos, a quien él ama con toda la fuerza de su alma, con vos, a quien él me había hecho amar antes de haberos visto?
