A nephew of Don Antonio's, a smart sharp-witted student, was the answerer, and as he had been told beforehand by his uncle who the persons were that would come with him that day into the chamber where the head was, it was an easy matter for him to answer the first question at once and correctly; the others he answered by guess-work, and, being clever, cleverly.
Un sobrino de don Antonio, estudiante agudo y discreto, fue el respondiente; el cual, estando avisado de su señor tío de los que habían de entrar con él en aquel día en el aposento de la cabeza, le fue fácil responder con presteza y puntualidad a la primera pregunta; a las demás respondió por conjeturas, y, como discreto, discretamente.
