Tolsa.

There is here a play on words not easy to render well. Pero—but: pera—pear; aguacate is a sort of fruit. The text runs: “Pero—señor Don Raimundo” “No hay peros, ni aguacates que valgan.” The exact translation is: “But—señor Don Raimundo——“ There are no pears, nor aguacates, which avail.

Here again is a double-entendre. The same word dueno, owner, is here translated as self-controlled, and master. The young man is master (of himself), the old man is master of his daughter’s lot.
