:25:00
To think perhaps she loved me.
:25:02
A soaring hawk could never
stoop to such a prey.
:25:10
What are you muttering?
:25:12
Marcela, she spoke to me,
but didn't say she knew...
:25:15
...that it was I who left
her rooms last night.
:25:18
How prudent, for otherwise,
she'd have had to punish us...
:25:22
...unless that's what
she's done...
:25:24
...for marriage is the kindest
punishment for love.
:25:28
And love's most
honourable cure.
:25:30
- One you desire?
- Greatly.
:25:32
Confirm it.
:25:33
With open arms, which are
the twirls of love's sharp quill.
:25:36
What better flourish
than an embrace?
:25:52
How well you make amends.
:25:54
I'm pleased.
Those who reprove...
:25:56
...delight in seeing
the proof of reformation.
:26:00
Don't be disconcerted.
:26:02
I told Marcela, madam,
that last night...
:26:05
...I left here
in such anguish...
:26:07
...that you might think our
honourable intention to wed...
:26:10
...dishonourable to you...
:26:12
...I thought I'd die.
:26:14
But when she told me
you'd shown such grace...
:26:17
...as to bless our union,
I took her in my arms.
:26:20
I shan't deceive you,
invent a foolish story...
:26:24
...for nothing's more disarming
to the wise than truth.
:26:27
Teodoro! Your disloyalty in
failing to respect my house...
:26:31
...will be punished.
:26:33
The kindness
I showed last night...
:26:35
...can scarce excuse
such licence.
:26:38
When love descends
to shamelessness...
:26:40
...it must be punished.
:26:44
Marcela, till you marry, will be
better kept under lock and key.
:26:48
If the other maids should
see you two together...
:26:51
...all will want to wed.
