Judge: "We shall see, Manuela, we shall see. You left Palencia on the 12th of May in the company of an Englishman?"
Manuela: "Yes."
Judge: "He is here in court?"
Manuela: "Yes."
Judge: "Do you see him at this moment?"
Manuela: "Yes." (But she did not turn her head to look at Manvers until the Judge forced her.)
Judge: "I am not he. I am not likely to have taken you from Palencia and your proceedings there. Look at the Englishman." (She hesitated for a little while, and then turned her eyes upon him with such gentle modesty that Manvers felt nearer to loving her than he had ever done. He rose slightly in his seat and bowed to her: she returned the salute like a young queen. The Judge had gained nothing by that.) "I see that you treat each other with ceremony; there may be reasons for that. We shall soon see. This gentleman then took you away from Palencia in the direction of Valladolid, and made you certain proposals. What were they?"
Manuela: "He proposed that I should return to Palencia."
Judge: "And you refused?"
Manuela: "Yes."
