— Sim, Isabel é minha filha. Peço-vos a ambos que a trateis sempre como tal; que a ameis como irmã, e a rodeeis de tanto afeto e carinho, que ela possa ser feliz, e perdoar-me a indiferença que lhe mostrei e a infelicidade involuntária que causei à sua mãe.

The setting

Yes, Isabel is my daughter. I beg you both to treat her always as such; to love her as a sister, and surround her with so much affection and tenderness that she may be happy, and forgive me the indifference I showed her and the involuntary unhappiness I caused her mother.
