The young man commenced his search for the letter with the greatest patience, turning out his pockets of all kinds over and over again, rummaging and rerummaging in his valise, and opening and reopening his purse; but when he found that he had come to the conviction that the letter was not to be found, he flew, for the third time, into such a rage as was near costing him a fresh consumption of wine, oil, and rosemary--for upon seeing this hot-headed youth become exasperated and threaten to destroy everything in the establishment if his letter were not found, the host seized a spit, his wife a broom handle, and the servants the same sticks they had used the day before.
El joven comenzó por buscar aquella carta con gran impaciencia, volviendo y revolviendo veinte veces sus bolsos y bolsillos, buscando y rebuscando en su talego, abriendo y cerrando su bolso; pero cuando se hubo convencido de que la carta era inencontrable, entró en un tercer acceso de rabia que a punto estuvo de provocarle un nuevo consumo de vino y de aceite aromatizados; porque, al ver a aquel joven de mala cabeza acalorarse y amenazar con romper todo en el establecimiento si no encontraban su carta, el hostelero había cogido ya un chuzo, su mujer un mango de escoba, y sus criados los mismos bastones que habían servido la víspera.
