Answer:
1. The bride was expecting Trysdale's response to her note while Trysdale who really did not understand Spanish was waiting for the bride's response to his request.
2. While the girl was breathless, wondering, and eager, Trysdale was courteous, adamant, and awaiting her explanation.
Explanation:
According to the book titled Cactus, we learn of an egotistical man named Trysdale who allowed his quest to be seen as well-learned by his girlfriend to make him end up losing her. The girl was misinformed by a man named Carruthers that Trysdale could speak Spanish.
Instead of Trysdale to refute such a lie, he rather claimed it and basked in the joy the girl derived from it. His glory did not last long though as the girl gave him a positive response to his proposal in the Spanish language but he could not decode it because he did not really understand it. When the girl discovered his lies, they drifted apart.
