Tal ascendiente
tenía la señora de Santa Cruz sobre aquella alma sencilla y con fe tan
ciega la respetaba y obedecía él, que si Barbarita le hubiera dicho:
«Plácido, hazme el favor de tirarte por el balcón a la calle», el
infeliz no habría vacilado un momento en hacerlo.

Such was the sway the lady of Santa Cruz held over that simple soul—and so unquestioningly did he respect and obey her—that had Barbarita said to him, "Plácido, do me the favor of throwing yourself off the balcony into the street," the poor fellow would not have hesitated for a single moment to do so.
