СКАЧАТЬ Hoy en casa de Requesens, han hablado de la chiquilla en los términos más desvergonzados. Contaban que acosada indecorosamente del enjambre de novios, se deleita recibiendo y mandando cartitas a todas horas del día.

      Evarista. Desgraciadamente, Salvador, las frivolidades de la niña son tales, que aun queriéndola tanto, no puedo salir a su defensa.

      Pantoja (angustiado). Pues oiga usted más, y entérese de que la malicia humana no tiene límites. Anoche el Marqués de Ronda, en la tertulia de su casa, delante de Virginia, su santa esposa, y de otras personas de grandísimo respeto, no cesaba de encomiar las gracias de Electra en términos harto mundanos, repugnantes.

      Evarista. Tengamos paciencia, amigo mío…

      Pantoja. Paciencia… sí, paciencia; virtud que vale muy poco si no se avalora con la resolución. Determinémonos, amiga del alma, a poner a Electra donde no vea ejemplos de liviandad, ni oiga ninguna palabra con dejos maliciosos…

      Evarista. Donde respire el ambiente de la virtud austera…

      Pantoja. Donde no la trastorne el zumbido de los venenosos pretendientes sin pudor… En la crítica edad de la formación del carácter, debemos preservarla del mayor peligro, señora, del inmenso peligro…
