This seclusion and the restrictions laid upon my going out, were it only to church, have been keeping me unhappy for many a day and month past; I longed to see the world, or at least the town where I was born, and it did not seem to me that this wish was inconsistent with the respect maidens of good quality should have for themselves.
Este encerramiento y este negarme el salir de casa, siquiera a la iglesia, ha muchos días y meses que me trae muy desconsolada; quisiera yo ver el mundo, o, a lo menos, el pueblo donde nací, pareciéndome que este deseo no iba contra el buen decoro que las doncellas principales deben guardar a sí mesmas.
