-God forgive her- It was her Mother
-Spanish title: Dios la perdone: Y era su madre

The girl left home very young. Her apprenticeship was gotten at Cadiz and then she went to Madrid.
Here she won a lottery prize. She goes for a walk along the Prado.
A dirty, shrivelled hag begs her for alms.
She chases her away, but the old women follows her.
The hard-hearted girl turns around and sees - who would believe?- The poor old women is her mother!

- Good Advice

- Spanish titel: Bellos Concejos

Advice is worthy of her who takes it. The tragedy is that the girl will follow it to the letter.
Miserable will be the Man who will have anything to do with Her.

Spanish title: Que Sacrificio
What a Sacrifice:

The bridegroom is hard to look at, but he is rich. At the cost of the Happiness of one poor child the security of a hungry family is bought.
Such is the way of the world.
