Cavalier, me pesa, but I cannot accede to your request. But with respect to any other gentleman, I shall be most happy, even Balseiro, who, though strange things are told of him, still knows how to comport himself, and in whose behaviour there is something both of formality and politeness, shall this day share your hospitality if you desire it, Cavalier."
"Set down my thoughts not yours if the tale is to be worth the pesa." The why and wherefore of my privilege to write a true account of the Princess Yasmini's early youth is a story in itself too long to tell here; but it came about through no peculiar wisdom. I fell in a sort of way in love with her, and that led to opportunity.
To the office again, my head running on this pretty girl, and there till noon, when Creed and Sheres come and dined with me; and we had a great deal of pretty discourse of the ceremoniousness of the Spaniards, whose ceremonies are so many and so known, that, Sheres tells me, upon all occasions of joy or sorrow in a Grandee's family, my Lord Embassador is fain to send one with an 'en hora buena', if it be upon a marriage, or birth of a child, or a 'pesa me', if it be upon the death of a child, or so.
DON PEDRO. ¿Qué había de hacer?... Decirle la verdad ... que mi hija no se quería ya casar con él, y que yo lo sentía mucho ... porque en efecto me pesa de ello por mil y quinientas razones ... ya ves tú ... ¿qué dirá su tío?... y luego ... no se encuentra así como quiera un partido tan ventajoso.
