"I have never told a lie," was the immediate reply of her who had been silent until now; "on the contrary, it is because I am so truthful and so ignorant of lying devices that I am now in this miserable condition; and this I call you yourself to witness, for it is my unstained truth that has made you false and a liar."
-Jamás la dije -dijo a esta sazón la que hasta allí había estado callando-; antes, por ser tan verdadera y tan sin trazas mentirosas, me veo ahora en tanta desventura; y desto vos mesmo quiero que seáis el testigo, pues mi pura verdad os hace a vos ser falso y mentiroso.
