"The day that I see her a countess," replied Teresa, "it will be the same to me as if I was burying her; but once more I say do as you please, for we women are born to this burden of being obedient to our husbands, though they be dogs;" and with this she began to weep in earnest, as if she already saw Sanchica dead and buried.
-El día que yo la viere condesa -respondió Teresa-, ése haré cuenta que la entierro, pero otra vez os digo que hagáis lo que os diere gusto, que con esta carga nacemos las mujeres, de estar obedientes a sus maridos, aunque sean unos porros.
