"God be praised, my dear Cacambo, I have rescued two poor girls from a most perilous situation; if I have committed a sin in killing an Inquisitor and a Jesuit, I have made ample amends by saving the lives of these two distressed damsels. Who knows but they may be young ladies of a good family, and that the assistance I have been so happy to give them may procure us great advantage in this country?"
Bendito sea Dios, querido Cacambo, dixo, que de tamaño peligro he librado esas dos pobres criaturas: si cometí un pecado en matar á un inquisidor y á un jesuita, ya he satisfecho á Dios, librando de la muerte á dos muchachas, que acaso son señoritas de circunstancias; y esta aventura no puede ménos de grangearnos mucho provecho en el pais.
