Dorothea was struck by Cardenio's words as well as by his strange and miserable attire, and begged him if he knew anything concerning her to tell it to her at once, for if fortune had left her any blessing it was courage to bear whatever calamity might fall upon her, as she felt sure that none could reach her capable of increasing in any degree what she endured already.
Reparó Dorotea en las razones de Cardenio y en su estraño y desastrado traje, y rogóle que si alguna cosa de su hacienda sabía, se la dijese luego; porque si algo le había dejado bueno la fortuna, era el ánimo que tenía para sufrir cualquier desastre que le sobreviniese, segura de que, a su parecer, ninguno podía llegar que el que tenía acrecentase un punto.
