Candide listened to this discourse with great attention, and conceived a high opinion of the person who delivered it; and as the Marchioness had taken care to place him near her side, he took the liberty to whisper her softly in the ear and ask who this person was that spoke so well.
Escuchaba con mucha atención Candido este razonamiento, y formó por él altísima idea del orador; y como había tenido la marquesa la atencion de colocarle á su lado, se tomó la licencia de preguntarle al oido quien era un hombre que tan de perlas hablaba.
