I have to tell you, senor, that he has demanded me for a wife, and my father, led away by what he considers Don Fernando's superiority over you, has favoured his suit so cordially, that in two days hence the betrothal is to take place with such secrecy and so privately that the only witnesses are to be the Heavens above and a few of the household.
Sabed, señor, que él me ha pedido por esposa, y mi padre, llevado de la ventaja que él piensa que don Fernando os hace, ha venido en lo que quiere, con tantas veras que de aquí a dos días se ha de hacer el desposorio, tan secreto y tan a solas, que sólo han de ser testigos los cielos y alguna gente de casa.
