(Yo estaba siendo en mis alabanzas más parco de lo encomendado, me temía; no por excesiva prudencia ni porque me costara lisonjear a una mujer tan espiritosa y receptiva, en el fondo tan contentadiza aunque ningún contento llegara a durarle y necesitara de alimentación constante, sino porque las frases carine o tenere me aburren y empalagan muy pronto por su naturaleza monocorde, las lea en novela o las oiga en película, las pronuncie yo en la vida o en ella me las dediquen.) Fuera como fuese, bastó que Flavia Manoia dijera cuatro palabras para convencerme a mí mismo de que la escena era insostenible tal como transcurría, y de que tocaba proceder a las presentaciones sin más tardanza.
(I was, I feared, being more meagre with my words of praise than I was expected to be, not because I was being excessively prudent or because I found it hard to flatter such a spirited and receptive woman, who was, basically, very easily contented, except that no amount of contentment lasted her for very long and she required constant nourishment, but because I get so bored with expressions such as carine or tenere, and their monotonous nature soon cloys, even if I happen to read them in a novel or hear them in a film, even if I say them in real life or someone addresses them to me.) Whatever the truth of the matter, it took only four words from Flavia Manoia for me to convince myself that the current situation was unsustainable and that I should, without further delay, proceed to the introductions.
