DOÑA MATILDE. ¡Que me case y que no le vuelva a ver en su vida!... y él mismo me lo indica.... ¡Dios mío, qué entrañas tienen estos padres! ¡Que me case!... ¡Si sospechará alguna cosa de lo que Eduardo y yo tenemos tratado para cuando ya no haya otro recurso! ¿Y queda ya alguno por ventura? ¡Que me case!... Y bien, sí ... me casaré ... me casaré con el hombre de mi elección, con el único mortal que me es simpático, y que puede proporcionarme la mayor felicidad posible en este mundo ... la de amar y ser amada; porque o yo no sé en lo que se cifra el ser una mujer dichosa, o ha de consistir necesariamente en estar siempre al lado de lo que ella ama; en jurarle a cada instante un eterno cariño; en respirar el aire que él respire ... ¿y cuesta acaso algo de esto dinero?

Esto perpetua so may it ever be. A few words in conclusion as to the construction of this story of the War.
I think it is true of the Irish aristocracy that even its period of greatest glory, even when Grattan was waving his arms and shouting "Esto Perpetua!" it remained sane. I have nothing else left of what my forefathers bequeathed to me, but I still have this temperament. A man clings desperately to the last remnants of his heritage. The artist's soul is a reality. I admitted that.
In Lima the tertulias, or chit-chat parties, and even the gaiety of the public promenade, had almost disappeared, and quando se acabara esto? 'When will this end? was constantly ejaculated.
