Luscinda, Dorothea, the landlady, her daughter and Maritornes, attracted by the strange, and to them entirely new costume, gathered round her; and Dorothea, who was always kindly, courteous, and quick-witted, perceiving that both she and the man who had brought her were annoyed at not finding a room, said to her, "Do not be put out, senora, by the discomfort and want of luxuries here, for it is the way of road-side inns to be without them; still, if you will be pleased to share our lodging with us (pointing to Luscinda) perhaps you will have found worse accommodation in the course of your journey."
Luscinda, Dorotea, la ventera, su hija y Maritornes, llevadas del nuevo y para ellas nunca visto traje, rodearon a la mora, y Dorotea, que siempre fue agraciada, comedida y discreta, pareciéndole que así ella como el que la traía se congojaban por la falta del aposento, le dijo: -No os dé mucha pena, señora mía, la incomodidad de regalo que aquí falta, pues es proprio de ventas no hallarse en ellas; pero, con todo esto, si gustáredes de pasar con nosotras -señalando a Luscinda-, quizá en el discurso de este camino habréis hallado otros no tan buenos acogimientos.
