Anselmo went, and the next day Lothario came to his house, where he was received by Camilla with a friendly and modest welcome; but she never suffered Lothario to see her alone, for she was always attended by her men and women servants, especially by a handmaid of hers, Leonela by name, to whom she was much attached (for they had been brought up together from childhood in her father's house), and whom she had kept with her after her marriage with Anselmo. The first three days Lothario did not speak to her, though he might have done so when they removed the cloth and the servants retired to dine hastily; for such were Camilla's orders; nay more, Leonela had directions to dine earlier than Camilla and never to leave her side.
»Partióse Anselmo, y otro día vino a su casa Lotario, donde fue rescebido de Camila con amoroso y honesto acogimiento; la cual jamás se puso en parte donde Lotario la viese a solas, porque siempre andaba rodeada de sus criados y criadas, especialmente de una doncella suya, llamada Leonela, a quien ella mucho quería, por haberse criado desde niñas las dos juntas en casa de los padres de Camila, y cuando se casó con Anselmo la trujo consigo. »En los tres días primeros nunca Lotario le dijo nada, aunque pudiera, cuando se levantaban los manteles y la gente se iba a comer con mucha priesa, porque así se lo tenía mandado Camila.
