entre las señas que me hacía, era una de juntarse la una mano con la otra, dándome a entender que se casaría conmigo; y, aunque yo me holgaría mucho de que ansí fuera, como sola y sin madre, no sabía con quién comunicallo, y así, lo dejé estar sin dalle otro favor si no era, cuando estaba mi padre fuera de casa y el suyo también, alzar un poco el lienzo o la celosía y dejarme ver toda, de lo que él hacía tanta fiesta, que daba señales de volverse loco.
one of the signs he used to make me was to link one hand in the other, to show me he wished to marry me; and though i should have been glad if that could be, being alone and motherless i knew not whom to open my mind to, and so i left it as it was, showing him no favour, except when my father, and his too, were from home, to raise the curtain or the lattice a little and let him see me plainly, at which he would show such delight that he seemed as if he were going mad.
