DOÑA MATILDE. Pierda usted cuidado ... una muda o dos cuando más, con las cartas que usted me ha escrito, el retrato de Atala, la sortija de alianza, y la rosa que usted me dió en el primer rigodón que bailamos juntos, y que conservo en polvo, envuelta en un papel de seda; esto es todo lo que pienso llevar.
