Who can wonder at the cháteaux en Espagne that I built as I lounged in the patio, and assisted my customers to consume the media aqua de soda, or 'split soda, of the country?

Adorada por su marido, mimada por sus parientes, respetada por sus amigos, pudiendo disfrutar de todo, sobrándole todo.... DON EDUARDO. ¿Pero qué tiene usted, Matilde mía? ¿Por qué se ha quedado usted tan callada? DON PEDRO. La misma alegría que la habrá sobrecogido.... ¿No es eso, hija?
