Judge: "He professed his passion for you, gave you presents?"
Manuela: "Yes."
Judge: "You persuaded him to take you away from Tormes?"
Manuela: "No."
Judge: "What do I hear?"
Manuela: "I said 'No.' It was because he said that he loved me that I went with him. He wished to marry me, he said."
Judge: "What! Don Bartolomé Ramonez marry a public dancer! Be careful what you say there, Manuela."
Manuela: "He told me so, and I believed him."
Judge: "I pass on. You were with him until the April of this year—you were with him two years?"
Manuela: "Yes."
