-So said Lana.
‘That’s the issue today, said Dona Manolete.
Let us imagine, ’said the father Henry, a lover, an old-fashioned gentleman, who to please his lady, and give glory and joy, suffering unbearable work, are exposed to greater dangers and brings to fruition the more difficult adventures. Let us imagine that all this is done by a lady who rightly wary that will never be loved. And let us imagine, finally, that everything done by serving and without hope of reward. Still according to the mode of reasoning of D. Angelo, we can tick this love interest, as the soul of this gentleman finds great delight in making as done by the lady, even though the lady is unpleasant, or because, if none of delight, finds consolation, considering thousand times more unhappy hikes nothing of what he does and if you do not give your love so brave and generous evidence. But how much love if it is often poorly paid because of intimate happiness and joy for the lover who prefers love, even without letters, to break off and separate the love of her soul, leaving her lonely, dry and empty? It is, therefore, proved so everything is selfishness, although agreeing that there is strength sublime selfishness and worthy of perpetual praise.

-I agree, ’said Don Angelo, the example of the lady and the knight-errant of the good old days that P. Enrique us, but I doubt that the gentleman makes his exploits in the hope of reward and loss. The same high opinion that has the lady of his thoughts that persuades him not to be ungrateful. The gentleman will venture, therefore, and strives interests, hopes prize, but of course the rare event that you do not wait, and not be equated with the Christian charity, in which he has never assumed that hope dies. The concept he has of his God is implicit the idea of ​​his goodness, his omnipotence and his righteousness, and they pound the security of pay. I return then to my subject.
