Martin said to him, "Upon my word, I think you are very simple to imagine that a rascally valet, with five or six millions in his pocket, would go in search of your mistress to the further of the world, and bring her to Venice to meet you. If he finds her he will take her for himself; if he does not, he will take another. Let me advise you to forget your valet Cacambo, and your mistress Cunegund."
Díxole Martin: ¡Qué sencillo es vm., si se figura que un criado mestizo, que lleva un millon de duros en la faltriquera, irá á buscar á su amada al fin del mundo, y á traérsela á Venecia; la guardará para sí, si la encuentra, y si no, tomará otra: aconsejo á vm. que se olvide de Cacambo y de su Cunegunda.
