We immediately took counsel with the renegade as to what means would have to be adopted in order to carry off the Moorish lady and bring us all to Christian territory; and in the end it was agreed that for the present we should wait for a second communication from Zoraida (for that was the name of her who now desires to be called Maria), because we saw clearly that she and no one else could find a way out of all these difficulties.
Entramos luego en consejo con el renegado, en qué orden se tendría para sacar a la mora y venirnos todos a tierra de cristianos, y, en fin, se acordó por entonces que esperásemos el aviso segundo de Zoraida, que así se llamaba la que ahora quiere llamarse María; porque bien vimos que ella, y no otra alguna era la que había de dar medio a todas aquellas dificultades.
