To all this and much more that Anselmo said to Lothario to persuade him to come to his house as he had been in the habit of doing, Lothario replied with so much prudence, sense, and judgment, that Anselmo was satisfied of his friend's good intentions, and it was agreed that on two days in the week, and on holidays, Lothario should come to dine with him; but though this arrangement was made between them Lothario resolved to observe it no further than he considered to be in accordance with the honour of his friend, whose good name was more to him than his own.
»A todas estas y otras muchas razones que Anselmo dijo a Lotario para persuadille volviese como solía a su casa, respondió Lotario con tanta prudencia, discreción y aviso, que Anselmo quedó satisfecho de la buena intención de su amigo, y quedaron de concierto que dos días en la semana y las fiestas fuese Lotario a comer con él; y, aunque esto quedó así concertado entre los dos, propuso Lotario de no hacer más de aquello que viese que más convenía a la honra de su amigo, cuyo crédito estimaba en más que el suyo proprio.
