ACTO SEGUNDO

STAGE DIRECTION. =al izquierdo=; supply _extremo_.

52. =tú te sientas=; the present indicative is here practically

equivalent to an imperative.

70. =Me parece que voy bien=, _I think I am taking the right

course_.

86. =la he hecho buena=; see Vocabulary under _hacer_. The

feminine _la_ is used in a number of idioms in a true neuter sense;

at least, no obvious noun can be supplied. Such idioms are:

_habérselas con_ 'to deal with'; _me la pagarás_ 'you shall pay for

it'; _pegársela_ 'to deceive'; _correrla_ 'to go on a spree,' etc.

194. =pasaría=; the conditional of probability, used for past

time as the future is for present time. Translate, _you must have

suffered_.

204. =Somonte=; an imaginary place-name, like _Socartes_, which

in the novel _Marianela_ is applied to a similar mining region.

257. =Aquí de la expresión de usted=, etc., _Here comes in your

phrase, which touches me very much._

288. =cosa alguna=; _alguno_ often replaces _ninguno_ as a negative

indefinite adjective, especially when following a singular noun.

Here the negative is contained in the privative prefix _in-_ of

_incapaz_.
