Текст аудирования:
After a while,Torres said:“You have a daughter. I like her - and I want to marry her!” Apparently Joam Garral expected anything from a man like Torres, and was as quiet as before.
“And so,” Garral said, “the worthy Torres is eager to marry into the family of a murderer and a thief?”
“I am the one to decide what is best for me to do,” said Torres.“I wish to be the son-in-law of Joam Garral, and I will.”
“You ignore, then, that my daughter is going to marry Manoel Valdez?” Garral said.
“You will break it off with Manoel Valdez!”
“And if my daughter declines?”
“If you tell her everything, I have no doubt she would agree to marry me,” was Torres’ answer.
“Everything?”
“Everything, if necessary. She would ignore her own feelings for the honour of her family and the life of her father.”
“You are a scoundrel, Torres,” said Joam quietly, his coolness never leaving him.
“A scoundrel and a murderer were made to understand each other,” Torres said.
At these words Joam Garral rose, advanced to the adventurer, and looking him straight in the face, said, “Torres, if you wish to become one of my family, you ought to know that I, Joam Dacosta, was innocent.” “Really!”
“And I add,” replied Joam,“that you hold the proof of my innocence, and are keeping it back until you marry my daughter.”
“Correct, Joam Garral,” answered Torres, lowering his voice,“and when you have heard me out, you will see if you dare refuse me your daughter!”
“I am listening,Torres.”
“Well,” said the adventurer, half keeping back his words, as if he was sorry to let them escape from his lips, “I know you are innocent! I know it, for I know the true culprit, and I am in a position to prove your innocence.” “And the unhappy man who committed the crime?”
“He is dead,” Torres replied.
