"If they are concerns or renounce my daughter made of her manly side before the capricious evidence..."

"My name is Dionisia" "Dionisia da Imaculada Conceiçao" "Much obliged ma'am." "I wish I could send a message to poor..." "What you want!" "I'll send it as soon as dawn" "Don't trust no one!" "Here comes the worm." "Let's change subject" "There's nothing better than life in a convent." "when you have the fortune of having a mother superior like ours" "Oh, it's you miss?" "like if we would be bad mouthing you?" "I know you never do that." "Why don't you go to choir Nini?" "Now, it's late." "You'll absolve me of my absence, yes?" "Sure, Sure." "But you penance to drink a glass" "Of the stomachic?" "Precisely!" "Teresa's heart filled up with sourness and disgust... on those two hours of convent life" "She ignored the world has that" "What a sad disappointment and at the same time such anxiety to leave" "When the mother superior told her she could go to bed..." "The miss asked if she could write her father" "The nun replied that on the next day she would do it if Mister de Albuquerque would permit his daughter to write him" "Right as the nun fell asleep..." "Teresa subtly parted the bed's curtains and took from her suit ink and paper" "Don't fear for me Simao." "all this work seem so light if you compare them to the love you you have for me" "Disgrace doesn't shake my firmness... nor intimidate your projects." "They are some thundery days and nothing more" "Any resolution my father takes I'll promptly tell you" "May or when it may" "To the absence of my news you should always... the impossible" "Love me...this disgraced because I believe the disgraced are the ones that most need love and comfort." "I'll see if I can forget myself, sleeping." "This is so sad dear friend" "Goodbye." "Hasn't past a year that they made me three holes in my head when I went to the lady of remedies in Lamego and it was her that shaved my head razor sharp" "For what I see, the blind nobleman tied the girl's stomach in a knot" "Hey girl!" "Mariana!" "We're set then." "I have my life here and I'd wish she were my patient's nurse" "Are you or not girl?" "With pleasure if that's your will" "Then girl, if you're going to sew on the porch come here to Mr Simao's side" "Give him soup regularly and take care of his wound vinegar and more vinegar when she gets to that purple state" "Speak with him." "Don't let him ramble of write much which isn't good when you're weak in the head." "and your ladyship don't be ceremonial." "nor tell Mariana lady this..." "lady that" "Yes!" "Girl, give me the soup!" "Girl, clean my arm!" "Give me the bandages!" "and no politics" "She's here as your servant" "I already said if I wasn't father of your ladyship she'd be begging for a long time by now or even worse" "It's true I could leave some goods won there...sweating on the anvil for 10 years." "If you have a humble house" "You might wish to marry your daughter in a farming house" "If so she'd wish...husbands abound" "Even the second lieutenant of the Church's house wanted her" "If I'd donate him everything which isn't much but is still a good 4K cruzados the case is that the girl doesn't want to marry and I speaking the truth" "Simao was enjoying himself in the simplicity of that rustic picture but sublime of nature" "Joao da Cruz was called to shoe a horse and before taking leave, said to his daughter he'd deliver the patient" "That he'd be treated as is and is he were her brother or husband" "It was nothing good, this plague that fell upon your house, Mariana" "Make you the nurse of a diseased to deprive you maybe of sewing in your porch and talk to the people passing by" "Will you give me that?" "Sit down Mariana" "Your father told you to be sitted" "Go get your needlework." "and give me there a paper and pencil that's in the wallet" "Father also told you not to let you write" "Little isn't important" "Take notice of what you do." "Oh if a letter is lost and everything is found out" "Everything what Mariana?" "Do you know of something?" "I'd have to be very foolish" "Your lordship is there wounded and everyone talks about the men that showed up dead" "What do I have to do with them?" "Why are you pretending?" "It seems like your lordship distrusts me" "I hope no one knew so my father and mister Simao won't have bigger problems" "You're right Mariana" "I shouldn't hide from you our encounter" "Worse future is the one that is still to pass" "No Mariana. this ends this way." "I'll go to Coimbra once well and the city girl stays at your place" "If so" "I already promised 2 pounds of wax to the Lord of Steps." "But my heart doesn't tell me you'll do what you say" "I don't know what I did to deserve such friendship Mariana" "Suffice to see what your father did for mine" "I was still very young when I was in the dungeon" "Might of been 13" "I was resolute to throw myself in the well" "If I was to be hung, as everyone was saying" "I went on purpose to the city to kiss you mother's feet" "and saw yous sisters a younger one gave me a silk skirt I still have kept as a relic" "Was it Rita?" "I was Mr. Simao often" "Maybe you don't know I was at the fountain when your lordship, going on 2 to 3 years" "Beat the heck on the servants casing such a commotion it seemed like the world's end" "then..." "I never saw you...or..." "I would already know I would come to this misery for I had a dream which had a lot of blood and saw a very close friend of mine in a pit so deep" "That's dreams, Mariana." "yeah, dreams." "the city folk laughs of dreams but god knows what this is" "Lift my father Lord of steps don't go without a young one." "While Simao read the letter from the convent... that Joao da Cruz had received from the usual poor one" "Mariana fixed her big eyes on the academic's face" "Is it bad news?" "You're sassy, girl!" "Mr Joao:" "let me have a friend in you daughter, for the disgraced are the ones who know how to value friends." "True, but I wouldn't dare to ask what the letter says." "Neither did I ask, my father." "It was because I felt Mr Simao was afflicted while reading." "You weren't wrong." "Father dragged 3 to the convent." "Always the same scoundrel!" "While you right..." "I'll look after the soup that's boiling." "Simao said in the letter to Teresa:" "It's necessary to pull you outta there." "If you can't escape those doors will open before my anger." "Don't suffer with with patience." "Fight with heroism!" "Submission is a shame when the paternal power is a threat." "Call me!" "I'll feel the loss of blood will not diminish the strengths of the heart." "The thing, girl!" "What, my father?" "Our patient is without money." "Why?" "How do you know that?" "he asked me for his wallet to take out some money." "It weighed like a pig's bladder full of wind." "This revolts me." "I want to offer him Monet but don't know how." "I'll think about it father." "Sure." "Think about it 'cause you have better ideas than I." "And if father wouldn't like to touch his 400," "I have that money from the calves." "they're the gold coins minus a fourth." "Yes...we'll talk." "Think about a way he accepts without remorse." "Remorse in the less punished language of Mr Joao... was synonymous of scruples or disgust." "you won't have the soup today?" "I can't." "I have no appetite...miss" "Later." "Leave me alone for a while." "Go..." "Go!" "Don't lose your time around a boring sick person." "You don't want me here?" "I'll go and return when you call for me." "Simao wiped his tars and for a moment though about the girl's dedication, but said nothing, and began to think about his prickly situation." "Money is vile and mundane." "I don't admit vulgarizing a hero in the case of thinking about lack of money... a moment after writing his affected wife a letter like that." "But it was in money he was thinking, when Mariana brought him the rejected soup." "How would Joao da Cruz repay the hospitality?" "How would he than Mariana's care?" "If Teresa were to escape, how would he provide for them?" "He remembered writing mother..." "What would she say?" "How would she explain his residence at that house?" "Would she give clues about the death of Baltazar Coutinho?" "Tired of thinking... he favored the providence of the unfortunate with a deep sleep." "I'll do so Mariana." "Give me your money." "I'm gonna lift the stone off the fireplace, to take out the box with the 400K in money." "Either one or the other." "Doesn't matter." "Yours is him entirely." "Mariana hurried to the ark, where she took a pouch with money in silver... and some cords, rings and earrings." "Hid her gold and came with the pouch." "You don't know?" "What is it Mariana?" "Your mother knows you're here." "She does?" "That's impossible." "Who would tell her?" "Dunno." "What I know is that she sent for my father." "That amazes me!" "And she didn't write me?" "No, sir." "Maybe she knew you were here, and thinks you're no longer." "Maybe that's why she didn't write." "Can it be?" "It can." "But who'd tell her?" "If that is known then the men's death could be suspected." "Maybe not...and if so,there are no witnesses" "Father told me he feared not." "What will be will be." "Don't think about it now." "I'm gonna get your soup,OK?" "If you want Mariana." "Heavens gave me the friendship of a sister." "Without no shed of vanity, Simao surmised he was loved by that sweet creature." "He held thoughts that it would be cruel of him to show knowledge of such affection as he had not soul to reward or lie to her." "Even so, very far from being afflicted..." "The cares of the gentle girl flattered him." "So much." " Eat whatever you can." "And it at ease 'cause this bowl was never served." "I thought you didn't eat yesterday because you were intrigued by the other one." "No, Mariana." "Don't be unfair." "I didn't eat yesterday for the same reason I won't eat now." "I had no desire" "But eat because I ask." "Forgive my boldness." "Just imagine it's as sister asking you." " You just told me" " I had in you the friendship of a sister." "Exactly." "Teresa's passionate lover did not despise Mariana's love." "This is guilt of the severe women's court." "But Simao Botelho guilt is in the weak nature, that all on land, sky or sea... and all the incoherence, absurdities and vices in men..." "The God of Creation acclaimed himself." "And in this dynastic good faith... he goes on living...and dying" "Is your father arrested?" "My heart tells me not and is never wrong." "And what does your heart say about me?" "Will me works stay here?" "I'll tell you the truth Mr Simao...but I won't." "Say what you please 'cause I have faith in the good angel who speaks in your soul." "Not really." "My heart tells me yours works have only began." "Simao hear her carefully but did not respond." "The simple girl frightened his mood with this murky idea." "Does she think of swaying me from Teresa to be loved?" "I'm back.You're mother sent for me." "I know." "And how did she know I was here?" "She knew the nobleman was here... but cared you had already gone to Coimbra." "Who told her, I do not know, nor asked, 'cause with a respected person you don't ask questions." "She said she knew the purpose you came hide here." "Something missed..." "But I settled her as best I could and there is no news." "She asked what you were doing here after the noblewoman went to the convent." "Told her your were ill off a fall from a horse." "Asked again if you had money." "I told her I didn't know." "and she goes inside, comes back in a little while with this package for you." "Here you have." "Dunno how much it is." "And she didn't write?" "She said she couldn't 'cause the desk was occupied." "And also recommended you not write if not from Coimbra." "'Cause if your father knew you were here..." "It'd be devastating at home." "Here it is." " Did he not speak of Baltazar's servants?" "Not a peep." "At the city nobody was even talking about it today." "And what does he say about D. Teresa?" "Nothing." "Maybe she went to the convent." "Now let me feed the horse." "'cause it's sweating profusely." "Mr Joao da Cruz?" "Dear Joao." "If I had no money I would accept without disgust your favors." "And I care you would do so without hope of interest." "but as I received this amount you shall consent that I give you part for my food." "reasons for gratitude of debts not paid... are left aplenty Si I could never forget you... and your good daughter." "Take this money." "accounts are settled at the end and nobody should here of us, God wish." "Needing money, I'll come." "For now the yard is full of chickens, and bread is baked every week." "But accept and use it as you wish." "In my hose I'm the master." "keep your money nobleman and we shall talk not of this anymore." "If you want everything to go smoothly." "Victo-Serious!" "On the 5 following days, Simao received regularly letters from Teresa." "Some resigned and comforting." "Others written in the exasperated violence of longing." "One said:" "My father must know you're there." "And while you're there he'll most certainly not take you from the convent." "It'd be nice if you went to Coimbra... and let my father forget... the latest happenings." "In another letter she wrote like this:" "Don't abandon me Simao." "Don't go to Coimbra." "I fear my father wants to move me from this convent to a more sever one." "Above all, it floors me but doesn't bend me," "Is for I to know the intent of my father is for me to profess." "For more I can imagine violence and tyrannies, none I see capable of extracting my vows." "Our correspondence is impossible." "I'll be taken to another convent." "Expect news from me in Coimbra." "Mr. Joao!" "Mr Joao?" "!" "I'm coming..." "I'm coming." "Tadeu de Albuquerque's diligence had swift success." "Taken all precautions... he made know his daughter that her aunt, mother superior of Monchique's convent, would want her in her company for a while." "In that time Simao wanted to hear a voice." "He wanted to call friend someone who would be there for him." "The blacksmith heard his story and gave his vote." "My advice is that you should wait and see." "Wait?" "I'm going immediately to Viseu." "If you wish I'll go to the city... and search for Brito, a girlfriend of mine." "daughter of a nun...and I'll take a letter of yours to give to the noblewoman." "Is it possible Mariana?" "What can be done will be done." "Get dressed Mariana for I'll saddle the horse." "What you suffered, noble heart of a woman so pure." "If what you do for this young man is gratitude for the man who saved your father's life," "What rare virtue, yours." "If you leave him.if you can ease his pain... even forsaking him loving you forever... what name should I give to your heroism?" "What angel fated you heart for such obscure martyrdom?" "I'm ready." "Here's the letter, dear friend." "Make all efforts to come with an answer." "Is the money also for the lady?" "No, It's for you Mariana." "Buy a ring." "Don't use the stick often." "You're as yellow as cider." "What's with you?" "Nothing." "What would I have?" "Give me the stick my father." "You're worth more than all noblewomen of Viseu." "For the most embellished I wouldn't give my horse." "If the caliph of Morocco would came here asking for my daughter..." "Devil take me, I wouldn't give her away!" "These are women, and the rest is history." "What beautiful girl." "Such a beautiful girl." "Leave the girl alone and tell the servant when to bring the wine." "When you wish, lady prioress." "But take note at the eyes, the figure." "In that whole of a girl... But please note father Joao, I have other things to do." "Where are you from?" "The village." "That I see, but from which one?" "I won't confess now." "It wouldn't hurt you confess to me, child." "I'm a priest." "I see very well." "What bad temper!" "It's what you see." "You do you search here?" "That I already told." "Mariana?" "Is it you?" "Come here." "I wanted to speak to you in private Joaquina." "I'll see about that, wait here." "Mariana had examined, one by one, the monasteries windows." "In one of the windows through the iron beams, saw a woman without habit." "Was it that one?" "Asked her ever palpitating heart." "And thought:" "If I were to be loved as her..." "Mariana!" "Climb those stairs and enter the first door in the corridor." "I'll be right there." "Joaquina, who was that girl so white, white as milk..." "who was there at a windows when I arrived?" "Some novice maybe." "There are 2 very beautiful here." "But she had no habit." "Ahh, I know. it's D. Teresinha Albuquerque." "Then I was not mistaken." "Do you know her?" "No but it is because of her I came here today." "What is it?" "What have you with the noblewoman?" "Myself nothing... but I know someone who wants her dearly." "The magistrate's son?" "Exactly." "But he's in Coimbra." "I do not know." "Can you do me a favor?" "if I can." "You can." "I would like to speak to her." "Oh Devil!" "That I don not know if possible!" "because they have the nuns under observation and she leaves tomorrow." "And what do you want from her?" "I can't say 'cause I do not know." "I wanted to give her a letter." "make her come her and I'll give you cloth for a dress." "How rich you are Mariana!" "I don't want your cloth woman." "If I'm able to tell her without being heard I'll do so." "And now is a good time 'cause the bell rang." "Joaquina went well with her difficult mission." "Teresa was alone absorbed in thought... with her eyes fixes where she saw Mariana." "When the servant called Teresa followed her and entered the little room." "As soon as you can knock on the door for me to open it." "And if they cal or you I'll say you're at the gazebo." "I'm the carrier of this letter for your Excellency." "Simao!" "Yes, my lady." "I can't write him for my ink was stolen and nobody would lend me some." "Tell him I'll leave at dawn to Monchique convent in Porto." "That he not worry for I'm always the same." "For him not to come here for it'd be useless and dangerous." "tell him to go see me at Porto for I'll manage a way to talk to him." "Tell him this, yes?" "Yes, my lady." "Don't forget." "Come here not." "It's impossible to escape and I'm well accompanied." "Cousin Baltazar, my cousins and my father are all going, and I don't know how many servants." "Sway me from my path would be madness with terrible results." "Tell him everything, OK?" "Lady, behold that mother superior is inside searching for you." "Goodbye." "Take this souvenir as proof of my gratitude." "I can't accept my lady." "Why not?" "Because I made you no favors." "To receive some sort of reward would be of who sent me." "Be with Gog my lady... and I hope you'll be happy." "Mariana said to herself:" "wasn't it enough being noble and rich, and also besides that beautiful as I've never seen?" "END OF EPISODE 3"
