:07:01
How curious!
:07:04
What does he say?
:07:06
I don't recall.
:07:09
You do.
:07:13
One day he'll say...
:07:15
..."Your eyes have snared
my soul".
:07:18
The next, "I live for them."
:07:21
"My tender longings
keep me awake at night."
:07:26
The next, he'll beg from me
a single hair...
:07:29
...to bind them in his thoughts.
:07:32
But why ask such frivolities?
:07:34
They please you well enough.
:07:36
They're not unpleasing...
:07:38
...because I know that Teodoro's
intentions are virtuous.
:07:43
He means to marry me.
:07:46
True, marriage is love's
proper aim.
:07:51
You wish me to arrange it?
:07:55
Nothing could make me happier!
:07:57
Oh, my lady,
your anger proves so mild...
:08:00
...your heart so noble...
:08:02
...I confess
that I adore him...
:08:04
...because he's quite
the cleverest, wisest...
:08:07
...and tenderest youth
in all this city.
:08:12
As my secretary,
I already know he's clever.
:08:15
Oh, that's another matter.
:08:17
I know the way he whispers
fond endearments, rather closer.
:08:22
Marcela, though I promise
you shall marry...
:08:25
...when the time is ripe...
:08:27
...I must be seen
to act with prudence...
:08:29
...and cannot countenance
your courting here.
:08:33
I must sustain my anger...
:08:35
...for it's known to all...
:08:37
...and you must pursue your love
with more discretion.
:08:41
When opportunity affords,
I'll help you both.
:08:45
Teodoro's sensible, and has been
raised here in my house...
:08:50
...and you, Marcela...
:08:51
...kinship apart,
have merited my favour.
:08:56
I kneel and kiss your feet.
:08:58
- Go.
- A thousand times I kiss them.
