+<blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote>
+<p>
+The book cover and spine above and the images which follow were not part of the original Ormsby
+translation&mdash;they are taken from the 1880 edition of J. W. Clark, illustrated by
+Gustave Dore.  Clark in his edition states that, "The English text of 'Don Quixote'
+adopted in this edition is that of Jarvis, with occasional corrections from Motteaux."
+See in the introduction below John Ormsby's critique of
+both the Jarvis and Motteaux translations.  It has been elected in the present Project Gutenberg edition
+to attach the famous engravings of Gustave Dore to the Ormsby translation instead
+of the Jarvis/Motteaux. The detail of many of the Dore engravings can be fully appreciated only
+by utilizing the "Enlarge" button to expand them to their original dimensions.  Ormsby
+in his Preface has criticized the fanciful nature  of Dore's illustrations; others feel
+these woodcuts and steel engravings well match Quixote's dreams.

+
+<p>When Don Quixote saw himself in open country, free, and relieved
+from the attentions of Altisidora, he felt at his ease, and in fresh
+spirits to take up the pursuit of chivalry once more; and turning to
+Sancho he said, "Freedom, Sancho, is one of the most precious gifts
+that heaven has bestowed upon men; no treasures that the earth holds
+buried or the sea conceals can compare with it; for freedom, as for
+honour, life may and should be ventured; and on the other hand,
+captivity is the greatest evil that can fall to the lot of man. I
+say this, Sancho, because thou hast seen the good cheer, the abundance
+we have enjoyed in this castle we are leaving; well then, amid those
+dainty banquets and snow-cooled beverages I felt as though I were
+undergoing the straits of hunger, because I did not enjoy them with
+the same freedom as if they had been mine own; for the sense of
+being under an obligation to return benefits and favours received is a
+restraint that checks the independence of the spirit. Happy he, to
+whom heaven has given a piece of bread for which he is not bound to
+give thanks to any but heaven itself!"</p>
+
+<p>"For all your worship says," said Sancho, "it is not becoming that
+there should be no thanks on our part for two hundred gold crowns that
+the duke's majordomo has given me in a little purse which I carry next
+my heart, like a warming plaster or comforter, to meet any chance
+calls; for we shan't always find castles where they'll entertain us;
+now and then we may light upon roadside inns where they'll cudgel us."</p>
+
+<p>In conversation of this sort the knight and squire errant were
+pursuing their journey, when, after they had gone a little more than
+half a league, they perceived some dozen men dressed like labourers
+stretched upon their cloaks on the grass of a green meadow eating
+their dinner. They had beside them what seemed to be white sheets
+concealing some objects under them, standing upright or lying flat,
+and arranged at intervals. Don Quixote approached the diners, and,
+saluting them courteously first, he asked them what it was those
+cloths covered. "Senor," answered one of the party, "under these
+cloths are some images carved in relief intended for a retablo we
+are putting up in our village; we carry them covered up that they
+may not be soiled, and on our shoulders that they may not be broken."</p>
+
+<p>"With your good leave," said Don Quixote, "I should like to see
+them; for images that are carried so carefully no doubt must be fine
+ones."</p>
+
+<p>"I should think they were!" said the other; "let the money they cost
+speak for that; for as a matter of fact there is not one of them
+that does not stand us in more than fifty ducats; and that your
+worship may judge; wait a moment, and you shall see with your own
+eyes;" and getting up from his dinner he went and uncovered the
+first image, which proved to be one of Saint George on horseback
+with a serpent writhing at his feet and the lance thrust down its
+throat with all that fierceness that is usually depicted. The whole
+group was one blaze of gold, as the saying is. On seeing it Don
+Quixote said, "That knight was one of the best knights-errant the army
+of heaven ever owned; he was called Don Saint George, and he was
+moreover a defender of maidens. Let us see this next one."</p>
+
+<p>The man uncovered it, and it was seen to be that of Saint Martin
+on his horse, dividing his cloak with the beggar. The instant Don
+Quixote saw it he said, "This knight too was one of the Christian
+adventurers, but I believe he was generous rather than valiant, as
+thou mayest perceive, Sancho, by his dividing his cloak with the
+beggar and giving him half of it; no doubt it was winter at the
+time, for otherwise he would have given him the whole of it, so
+charitable was he."</p>
+
+<p>"It was not that, most likely," said Sancho, "but that he held
+with the proverb that says, 'For giving and keeping there's need of
+brains.'"</p>
+
+<p>Don Quixote laughed, and asked them to take off the next cloth,
+underneath which was seen the image of the patron saint of the
+Spains seated on horseback, his sword stained with blood, trampling on
+Moors and treading heads underfoot; and on seeing it Don Quixote
+exclaimed, "Ay, this is a knight, and of the squadrons of Christ! This
+one is called Don Saint James the Moorslayer, one of the bravest
+saints and knights the world ever had or heaven has now."</p>
+
+<p>They then raised another cloth which it appeared covered Saint
+Paul falling from his horse, with all the details that are usually
+given in representations of his conversion. When Don Quixote saw it,
+rendered in such lifelike style that one would have said Christ was
+speaking and Paul answering, "This," he said, "was in his time the
+greatest enemy that the Church of God our Lord had, and the greatest
+champion it will ever have; a knight-errant in life, a steadfast saint
+in death, an untiring labourer in the Lord's vineyard, a teacher of
+the Gentiles, whose school was heaven, and whose instructor and master
+was Jesus Christ himself."</p>
+
+<p>There were no more images, so Don Quixote bade them cover them up
+again, and said to those who had brought them, "I take it as a happy
+omen, brothers, to have seen what I have; for these saints and knights
+were of the same profession as myself, which is the calling of arms;
+only there is this difference between them and me, that they were
+saints, and fought with divine weapons, and I am a sinner and fight
+with human ones. They won heaven by force of arms, for heaven
+suffereth violence; and I, so far, know not what I have won by dint of
+my sufferings; but if my Dulcinea del Toboso were to be released
+from hers, perhaps with mended fortunes and a mind restored to
+itself I might direct my steps in a better path than I am following at
+present."</p>
+
+<p>"May God hear and sin be deaf," said Sancho to this.</p>
+
+<p>The men were filled with wonder, as well at the figure as at the
+words of Don Quixote, though they did not understand one half of
+what he meant by them. They finished their dinner, took their images
+on their backs, and bidding farewell to Don Quixote resumed their
+journey.</p>
+
+<p>Sancho was amazed afresh at the extent of his master's knowledge, as
+much as if he had never known him, for it seemed to him that there was
+no story or event in the world that he had not at his fingers' ends
+and fixed in his memory, and he said to him, "In truth, master mine,
+if this that has happened to us to-day is to be called an adventure,
+it has been one of the sweetest and pleasantest that have befallen
+us in the whole course of our travels; we have come out of it
+unbelaboured and undismayed, neither have we drawn sword nor have we
+smitten the earth with our bodies, nor have we been left famishing;
+blessed be God that he has let me see such a thing with my own eyes!"</p>
+
+<p>"Thou sayest well, Sancho," said Don Quixote, "but remember all
+times are not alike nor do they always run the same way; and these
+things the vulgar commonly call omens, which are not based upon any
+natural reason, will by him who is wise be esteemed and reckoned happy
+accidents merely. One of these believers in omens will get up of a
+morning, leave his house, and meet a friar of the order of the blessed
+Saint Francis, and, as if he had met a griffin, he will turn about and
+go home. With another Mendoza the salt is spilt on his table, and
+gloom is spilt over his heart, as if nature was obliged to give
+warning of coming misfortunes by means of such trivial things as
+these. The wise man and the Christian should not trifle with what it
+may please heaven to do. Scipio on coming to Africa stumbled as he
+leaped on shore; his soldiers took it as a bad omen; but he,
+clasping the soil with his arms, exclaimed, 'Thou canst not escape me,
+Africa, for I hold thee tight between my arms.' Thus, Sancho,
+meeting those images has been to me a most happy occurrence."</p>
+
+<p>"I can well believe it," said Sancho; "but I wish your worship would
+tell me what is the reason that the Spaniards, when they are about
+to give battle, in calling on that Saint James the Moorslayer, say
+'Santiago and close Spain!' Is Spain, then, open, so that it is
+needful to close it; or what is the meaning of this form?"</p>
+
+<p>"Thou art very simple, Sancho," said Don Quixote; "God, look you,
+gave that great knight of the Red Cross to Spain as her patron saint
+and protector, especially in those hard struggles the Spaniards had
+with the Moors; and therefore they invoke and call upon him as their
+defender in all their battles; and in these he has been many a time
+seen beating down, trampling under foot, destroying and slaughtering
+the Hagarene squadrons in the sight of all; of which fact I could give
+thee many examples recorded in truthful Spanish histories."</p>
+
+<p>Sancho changed the subject, and said to his master, "I marvel,
+senor, at the boldness of Altisidora, the duchess's handmaid; he
+whom they call Love must have cruelly pierced and wounded her; they
+say he is a little blind urchin who, though blear-eyed, or more
+properly speaking sightless, if he aims at a heart, be it ever so
+small, hits it and pierces it through and through with his arrows. I
+have heard it said too that the arrows of Love are blunted and
+robbed of their points by maidenly modesty and reserve; but with
+this Altisidora it seems they are sharpened rather than blunted."</p>
+
+<p>"Bear in mind, Sancho," said Don Quixote, "that love is influenced
+by no consideration, recognises no restraints of reason, and is of the
+same nature as death, that assails alike the lofty palaces of kings
+and the humble cabins of shepherds; and when it takes entire
+possession of a heart, the first thing it does is to banish fear and
+shame from it; and so without shame Altisidora declared her passion,
+which excited in my mind embarrassment rather than commiseration."</p>
+
+<p>"Notable cruelty!" exclaimed Sancho; "unheard-of ingratitude! I
+can only say for myself that the very smallest loving word of hers
+would have subdued me and made a slave of me. The devil! What a
+heart of marble, what bowels of brass, what a soul of mortar! But I
+can't imagine what it is that this damsel saw in your worship that
+could have conquered and captivated her so. What gallant figure was
+it, what bold bearing, what sprightly grace, what comeliness of
+feature, which of these things by itself, or what all together,
+could have made her fall in love with you? For indeed and in truth
+many a time I stop to look at your worship from the sole of your
+foot to the topmost hair of your head, and I see more to frighten
+one than to make one fall in love; moreover I have heard say that
+beauty is the first and main thing that excites love, and as your
+worship has none at all, I don't know what the poor creature fell in
+love with."</p>
+
+<p>"Recollect, Sancho," replied Don Quixote, "there are two sorts of
+beauty, one of the mind, the other of the body; that of the mind
+displays and exhibits itself in intelligence, in modesty, in
+honourable conduct, in generosity, in good breeding; and all these
+qualities are possible and may exist in an ugly man; and when it is
+this sort of beauty and not that of the body that is the attraction,
+love is apt to spring up suddenly and violently. I, Sancho, perceive
+clearly enough that I am not beautiful, but at the same time I know
+I am not hideous; and it is enough for an honest man not to be a
+monster to be an object of love, if only he possesses the endowments
+of mind I have mentioned."</p>
+
+<p>While engaged in this discourse they were making their way through a
+wood that lay beyond the road, when suddenly, without expecting
+anything of the kind, Don Quixote found himself caught in some nets of
+green cord stretched from one tree to another; and unable to
+conceive what it could be, he said to Sancho, "Sancho, it strikes me
+this affair of these nets will prove one of the strangest adventures
+imaginable. May I die if the enchanters that persecute me are not
+trying to entangle me in them and delay my journey, by way of
+revenge for my obduracy towards Altisidora. Well then let me tell them
+that if these nets, instead of being green cord, were made of the
+hardest diamonds, or stronger than that wherewith the jealous god of
+blacksmiths enmeshed Venus and Mars, I would break them as easily as
+if they were made of rushes or cotton threads." But just as he was
+about to press forward and break through all, suddenly from among some
+trees two shepherdesses of surpassing beauty presented themselves to
+his sight&mdash;or at least damsels dressed like shepherdesses, save that
+their jerkins and sayas were of fine brocade; that is to say, the
+sayas were rich farthingales of gold embroidered tabby. Their hair,
+that in its golden brightness vied with the beams of the sun itself,
+fell loose upon their shoulders and was crowned with garlands twined
+with green laurel and red everlasting; and their years to all
+appearance were not under fifteen nor above eighteen.</p>

+<br><br><br><br>
+
+
+<p>Such was the
+spectacle that filled Sancho with amazement, fascinated Don Quixote,
+made the sun halt in his course to behold them, and held all four in a
+strange silence. One of the shepherdesses, at length, was the first to
+speak and said to Don Quixote, "Hold, sir knight, and do not break
+these nets; for they are not spread here to do you any harm, but
+only for our amusement; and as I know you will ask why they have
+been put up, and who we are, I will tell you in a few words. In a
+village some two leagues from this, where there are many people of
+quality and rich gentlefolk, it was agreed upon by a number of friends
+and relations to come with their wives, sons and daughters,
+neighbours, friends and kinsmen, and make holiday in this spot,
+which is one of the pleasantest in the whole neighbourhood, setting up
+a new pastoral Arcadia among ourselves, we maidens dressing
+ourselves as shepherdesses and the youths as shepherds. We have
+prepared two eclogues, one by the famous poet Garcilasso, the other by
+the most excellent Camoens, in its own Portuguese tongue, but we
+have not as yet acted them. Yesterday was the first day of our
+coming here; we have a few of what they say are called field-tents
+pitched among the trees on the bank of an ample brook that
+fertilises all these meadows; last night we spread these nets in the
+trees here to snare the silly little birds that startled by the
+noise we make may fly into them. If you please to be our guest, senor,
+you will be welcomed heartily and courteously, for here just now
+neither care nor sorrow shall enter."</p>
+
+<p>She held her peace and said no more, and Don Quixote made answer,
+"Of a truth, fairest lady, Actaeon when he unexpectedly beheld Diana
+bathing in the stream could not have been more fascinated and
+wonderstruck than I at the sight of your beauty. I commend your mode
+of entertainment, and thank you for the kindness of your invitation;
+and if I can serve you, you may command me with full confidence of
+being obeyed, for my profession is none other than to show myself
+grateful, and ready to serve persons of all conditions, but especially
+persons of quality such as your appearance indicates; and if,
+instead of taking up, as they probably do, but a small space, these
+nets took up the whole surface of the globe, I would seek out new
+worlds through which to pass, so as not to break them; and that ye may
+give some degree of credence to this exaggerated language of mine,
+know that it is no less than Don Quixote of La Mancha that makes
+this declaration to you, if indeed it be that such a name has
+reached your ears."</p>
+
+<p>"Ah! friend of my soul," instantly exclaimed the other
+shepherdess, "what great good fortune has befallen us! Seest thou this
+gentleman we have before us? Well then let me tell thee he is the most
+valiant and the most devoted and the most courteous gentleman in all
+the world, unless a history of his achievements that has been
+printed and I have read is telling lies and deceiving us. I will lay a
+wager that this good fellow who is with him is one Sancho Panza his
+squire, whose drolleries none can equal."</p>
+
+<p>"That's true," said Sancho; "I am that same droll and squire you
+speak of, and this gentleman is my master Don Quixote of La Mancha,
+the same that's in the history and that they talk about."</p>
+
+<p>"Oh, my friend," said the other, "let us entreat him to stay; for it
+will give our fathers and brothers infinite pleasure; I too have heard
+just what thou hast told me of the valour of the one and the
+drolleries of the other; and what is more, of him they say that he
+is the most constant and loyal lover that was ever heard of, and
+that his lady is one Dulcinea del Toboso, to whom all over Spain the
+palm of beauty is awarded."</p>
+
+<p>"And justly awarded," said Don Quixote, "unless, indeed, your
+unequalled beauty makes it a matter of doubt. But spare yourselves the
+trouble, ladies, of pressing me to stay, for the urgent calls of my
+profession do not allow me to take rest under any circumstances."</p>
+
+<p>At this instant there came up to the spot where the four stood a
+brother of one of the two shepherdesses, like them in shepherd
+costume, and as richly and gaily dressed as they were. They told him
+that their companion was the valiant Don Quixote of La Mancha, and the
+other Sancho his squire, of whom he knew already from having read
+their history. The gay shepherd offered him his services and begged
+that he would accompany him to their tents, and Don Quixote had to
+give way and comply. And now the gave was started, and the nets were
+filled with a variety of birds that deceived by the colour fell into
+the danger they were flying from. Upwards of thirty persons, all gaily
+attired as shepherds and shepherdesses, assembled on the spot, and
+were at once informed who Don Quixote and his squire were, whereat
+they were not a little delighted, as they knew of him already
+through his history. They repaired to the tents, where they found
+tables laid out, and choicely, plentifully, and neatly furnished. They
+treated Don Quixote as a person of distinction, giving him the place
+of honour, and all observed him, and were full of astonishment at
+the spectacle. At last the cloth being removed, Don Quixote with great
+composure lifted up his voice and said:</p>
+
+<p>"One of the greatest sins that men are guilty of is&mdash;some will say
+pride&mdash;but I say ingratitude, going by the common saying that hell
+is full of ingrates. This sin, so far as it has lain in my power, I
+have endeavoured to avoid ever since I have enjoyed the faculty of
+reason; and if I am unable to requite good deeds that have been done
+me by other deeds, I substitute the desire to do so; and if that be
+not enough I make them known publicly; for he who declares and makes
+known the good deeds done to him would repay them by others if it were
+in his power, and for the most part those who receive are the
+inferiors of those who give. Thus, God is superior to all because he
+is the supreme giver, and the offerings of man fall short by an
+infinite distance of being a full return for the gifts of God; but
+gratitude in some degree makes up for this deficiency and shortcoming.
+I therefore, grateful for the favour that has been extended to me
+here, and unable to make a return in the same measure, restricted as I
+am by the narrow limits of my power, offer what I can and what I
+have to offer in my own way; and so I declare that for two full days I
+will maintain in the middle of this highway leading to Saragossa, that
+these ladies disguised as shepherdesses, who are here present, are the
+fairest and most courteous maidens in the world, excepting only the
+peerless Dulcinea del Toboso, sole mistress of my thoughts, be it said
+without offence to those who hear me, ladies and gentlemen."</p>
+
+<p>On hearing this Sancho, who had been listening with great attention,
+cried out in a loud voice, "Is it possible there is anyone in the
+world who will dare to say and swear that this master of mine is a
+madman? Say, gentlemen shepherds, is there a village priest, be he
+ever so wise or learned, who could say what my master has said; or
+is there knight-errant, whatever renown he may have as a man of
+valour, that could offer what my master has offered now?"</p>
+
+<p>Don Quixote turned upon Sancho, and with a countenance glowing
+with anger said to him, "Is it possible, Sancho, there is anyone in
+the whole world who will say thou art not a fool, with a lining to
+match, and I know not what trimmings of impertinence and roguery?
+Who asked thee to meddle in my affairs, or to inquire whether I am a
+wise man or a blockhead? Hold thy peace; answer me not a word;
+saddle Rocinante if he be unsaddled; and let us go to put my offer
+into execution; for with the right that I have on my side thou
+mayest reckon as vanquished all who shall venture to question it;" and
+in a great rage, and showing his anger plainly, he rose from his seat,
+leaving the company lost in wonder, and making them feel doubtful
+whether they ought to regard him as a madman or a rational being. In
+the end, though they sought to dissuade him from involving himself
+in such a challenge, assuring him they admitted his gratitude as fully
+established, and needed no fresh proofs to be convinced of his valiant
+spirit, as those related in the history of his exploits were
+sufficient, still Don Quixote persisted in his resolve; and mounted on
+Rocinante, bracing his buckler on his arm and grasping his lance, he
+posted himself in the middle of a high road that was not far from
+the green meadow. Sancho followed on Dapple, together with all the
+members of the pastoral gathering, eager to see what would be the
+upshot of his vainglorious and extraordinary proposal.</p>
+
+<p>Don Quixote, then, having, as has been said, planted himself in
+the middle of the road, made the welkin ring with words to this
+effect: "Ho ye travellers and wayfarers, knights, squires, folk on
+foot or on horseback, who pass this way or shall pass in the course of
+the next two days! Know that Don Quixote of La Mancha,
+knight-errant, is posted here to maintain by arms that the beauty
+and courtesy enshrined in the nymphs that dwell in these meadows and
+groves surpass all upon earth, putting aside the lady of my heart,
+Dulcinea del Toboso. Wherefore, let him who is of the opposite opinion
+come on, for here I await him."</p>
+
+<p>Twice he repeated the same words, and twice they fell unheard by any
+adventurer; but fate, that was guiding affairs for him from better
+to better, so ordered it that shortly afterwards there appeared on the
+road a crowd of men on horseback, many of them with lances in their
+hands, all riding in a compact body and in great haste. No sooner
+had those who were with Don Quixote seen them than they turned about
+and withdrew to some distance from the road, for they knew that if
+they stayed some harm might come to them; but Don Quixote with
+intrepid heart stood his ground, and Sancho Panza shielded himself
+with Rocinante's hind-quarters. The troop of lancers came up, and
+one of them who was in advance began shouting to Don Quixote, "Get out
+of the way, you son of the devil, or these bulls will knock you to
+pieces!"</p>
+
+<p>"Rabble!" returned Don Quixote, "I care nothing for bulls, be they
+the fiercest Jarama breeds on its banks. Confess at once,
+scoundrels, that what I have declared is true; else ye have to deal
+with me in combat."</p>
+
+<p>The herdsman had no time to reply, nor Don Quixote to get out of the
+way even if he wished; and so the drove of fierce bulls and tame
+bullocks, together with the crowd of herdsmen and others who were
+taking them to be penned up in a village where they were to be run the
+next day, passed over Don Quixote and over Sancho, Rocinante and
+Dapple, hurling them all to the earth and rolling them over on the
+ground. Sancho was left crushed, Don Quixote scared, Dapple belaboured
+and Rocinante in no very sound condition.</p>

+<br><br><br><br>
+
+<p>They all got up, however, at
+length, and Don Quixote in great haste, stumbling here and falling
+there, started off running after the drove, shouting out, "Hold! stay!
+ye rascally rabble, a single knight awaits you, and he is not of the
+temper or opinion of those who say, 'For a flying enemy make a
+bridge of silver.'" The retreating party in their haste, however,
+did not stop for that, or heed his menaces any more than last year's
+clouds. Weariness brought Don Quixote to a halt, and more enraged than
+avenged he sat down on the road to wait until Sancho, Rocinante and
+Dapple came up. When they reached him master and man mounted once
+more, and without going back to bid farewell to the mock or
+imitation Arcadia, and more in humiliation than contentment, they
+continued their journey.</p>

+
+<p>A clear limpid spring which they discovered in a cool grove relieved
+Don Quixote and Sancho of the dust and fatigue due to the unpolite
+behaviour of the bulls, and by the side of this, having turned
+Dapple and Rocinante loose without headstall or bridle, the forlorn
+pair, master and man, seated themselves. Sancho had recourse to the
+larder of his alforjas and took out of them what he called the prog;
+Don Quixote rinsed his mouth and bathed his face, by which cooling
+process his flagging energies were revived. Out of pure vexation he
+remained without eating, and out of pure politeness Sancho did not
+venture to touch a morsel of what was before him, but waited for his
+master to act as taster. Seeing, however, that, absorbed in thought,
+he was forgetting to carry the bread to his mouth, he said never a
+word, and trampling every sort of good breeding under foot, began to
+stow away in his paunch the bread and cheese that came to his hand.</p>

+<br><br><br><br>
+
+<p>"Eat, Sancho my friend," said Don Quixote; "support life, which is
+of more consequence to thee than to me, and leave me to die under
+the pain of my thoughts and pressure of my misfortunes. I was born,
+Sancho, to live dying, and thou to die eating; and to prove the
+truth of what I say, look at me, printed in histories, famed in
+arms, courteous in behaviour, honoured by princes, courted by maidens;
+and after all, when I looked forward to palms, triumphs, and crowns,
+won and earned by my valiant deeds, I have this morning seen myself
+trampled on, kicked, and crushed by the feet of unclean and filthy
+animals. This thought blunts my teeth, paralyses my jaws, cramps my
+hands, and robs me of all appetite for food; so much so that I have
+a mind to let myself die of hunger, the cruelest death of all deaths."</p>
+
+<p>"So then," said Sancho, munching hard all the time, "your worship
+does not agree with the proverb that says, 'Let Martha die, but let
+her die with a full belly.' I, at any rate, have no mind to kill
+myself; so far from that, I mean to do as the cobbler does, who
+stretches the leather with his teeth until he makes it reach as far as
+he wants. I'll stretch out my life by eating until it reaches the
+end heaven has fixed for it; and let me tell you, senor, there's no
+greater folly than to think of dying of despair as your worship
+does; take my advice, and after eating lie down and sleep a bit on
+this green grass-mattress, and you will see that when you awake you'll
+feel something better."</p>
+
+<p>Don Quixote did as he recommended, for it struck him that Sancho's
+reasoning was more like a philosopher's than a blockhead's, and said
+he, "Sancho, if thou wilt do for me what I am going to tell thee my
+ease of mind would be more assured and my heaviness of heart not so
+great; and it is this; to go aside a little while I am sleeping in
+accordance with thy advice, and, making bare thy carcase to the air,
+to give thyself three or four hundred lashes with Rocinante's reins,
+on account of the three thousand and odd thou art to give thyself
+for the disenchantment of Dulcinea; for it is a great pity that the
+poor lady should be left enchanted through thy carelessness and
+negligence."</p>
+
+<p>"There is a good deal to be said on that point," said Sancho; "let
+us both go to sleep now, and after that, God has decreed what will
+happen. Let me tell your worship that for a man to whip himself in
+cold blood is a hard thing, especially if the stripes fall upon an
+ill-nourished and worse-fed body. Let my lady Dulcinea have
+patience, and when she is least expecting it, she will see me made a
+riddle of with whipping, and 'until death it's all life;' I mean
+that I have still life in me, and the desire to make good what I
+have promised."</p>
+
+<p>Don Quixote thanked him, and ate a little, and Sancho a good deal,
+and then they both lay down to sleep, leaving those two inseparable
+friends and comrades, Rocinante and Dapple, to their own devices and
+to feed unrestrained upon the abundant grass with which the meadow was
+furnished. They woke up rather late, mounted once more and resumed
+their journey, pushing on to reach an inn which was in sight,
+apparently a league off. I say an inn, because Don Quixote called it
+so, contrary to his usual practice of calling all inns castles. They
+reached it, and asked the landlord if they could put up there. He said
+yes, with as much comfort and as good fare as they could find in
+Saragossa. They dismounted, and Sancho stowed away his larder in a
+room of which the landlord gave him the key. He took the beasts to the
+stable, fed them, and came back to see what orders Don Quixote, who
+was seated on a bench at the door, had for him, giving special
+thanks to heaven that this inn had not been taken for a castle by
+his master. Supper-time came, and they repaired to their room, and
+Sancho asked the landlord what he had to give them for supper. To this
+the landlord replied that his mouth should be the measure; he had only
+to ask what he would; for that inn was provided with the birds of
+the air and the fowls of the earth and the fish of the sea.</p>
+
+<p>"There's no need of all that," said Sancho; "if they'll roast us a
+couple of chickens we'll be satisfied, for my master is delicate and
+eats little, and I'm not over and above gluttonous."</p>
+
+<p>The landlord replied he had no chickens, for the kites had stolen
+them.</p>
+
+<p>"Well then," said Sancho, "let senor landlord tell them to roast a
+pullet, so that it is a tender one."</p>
+
+<p>"Pullet! My father!" said the landlord; "indeed and in truth it's
+only yesterday I sent over fifty to the city to sell; but saving
+pullets ask what you will."</p>
+
+<p>"In that case," said Sancho, "you will not be without veal or kid."</p>
+
+<p>"Just now," said the landlord, "there's none in the house, for
+it's all finished; but next week there will be enough and to spare."</p>
+
+<p>"Much good that does us," said Sancho; "I'll lay a bet that all
+these short-comings are going to wind up in plenty of bacon and eggs."</p>
+
+<p>"By God," said the landlord, "my guest's wits must be precious dull;
+I tell him I have neither pullets nor hens, and he wants me to have
+eggs! Talk of other dainties, if you please, and don't ask for hens
+again."</p>
+
+<p>"Body o' me!" said Sancho, "let's settle the matter; say at once
+what you have got, and let us have no more words about it."</p>
+
+<p>"In truth and earnest, senor guest," said the landlord, "all I
+have is a couple of cow-heels like calves' feet, or a couple of
+calves' feet like cowheels; they are boiled with chick-peas, onions,
+and bacon, and at this moment they are crying 'Come eat me, come eat
+me."</p>
+
+<p>"I mark them for mine on the spot," said Sancho; "let nobody touch
+them; I'll pay better for them than anyone else, for I could not
+wish for anything more to my taste; and I don't care a pin whether
+they are feet or heels."</p>
+
+<p>"Nobody shall touch them," said the landlord; "for the other
+guests I have, being persons of high quality, bring their own cook and
+caterer and larder with them."</p>
+
+<p>"If you come to people of quality," said Sancho, "there's nobody
+more so than my master; but the calling he follows does not allow of
+larders or store-rooms; we lay ourselves down in the middle of a
+meadow, and fill ourselves with acorns or medlars."</p>
+
+<p>Here ended Sancho's conversation with the landlord, Sancho not
+caring to carry it any farther by answering him; for he had already
+asked him what calling or what profession it was his master was of.</p>
+
+<p>Supper-time having come, then, Don Quixote betook himself to his
+room, the landlord brought in the stew-pan just as it was, and he
+sat himself down to sup very resolutely. It seems that in another
+room, which was next to Don Quixote's, with nothing but a thin
+partition to separate it, he overheard these words, "As you live,
+Senor Don Jeronimo, while they are bringing supper, let us read
+another chapter of the Second Part of 'Don Quixote of La Mancha.'"</p>
+
+<p>The instant Don Quixote heard his own name be started to his feet
+and listened with open ears to catch what they said about him, and
+heard the Don Jeronimo who had been addressed say in reply, "Why would
+you have us read that absurd stuff, Don Juan, when it is impossible
+for anyone who has read the First Part of the history of 'Don
+Quixote of La Mancha' to take any pleasure in reading this Second
+Part?"</p>
+
+<p>"For all that," said he who was addressed as Don Juan, "we shall
+do well to read it, for there is no book so bad but it has something
+good in it. What displeases me most in it is that it represents Don
+Quixote as now cured of his love for Dulcinea del Toboso."</p>
+
+<p>On hearing this Don Quixote, full of wrath and indignation, lifted
+up his voice and said, "Whoever he may be who says that Don Quixote of
+La Mancha has forgotten or can forget Dulcinea del Toboso, I will
+teach him with equal arms that what he says is very far from the
+truth; for neither can the peerless Dulcinea del Toboso be
+forgotten, nor can forgetfulness have a place in Don Quixote; his
+motto is constancy, and his profession to maintain the same with his
+life and never wrong it."</p>
+
+<p>"Who is this that answers us?" said they in the next room.</p>
+
+<p>"Who should it be," said Sancho, "but Don Quixote of La Mancha
+himself, who will make good all he has said and all he will say; for
+pledges don't trouble a good payer."</p>
+
+<p>Sancho had hardly uttered these words when two gentlemen, for such
+they seemed to be, entered the room, and one of them, throwing his
+arms round Don Quixote's neck, said to him, "Your appearance cannot
+leave any question as to your name, nor can your name fail to identify
+your appearance; unquestionably, senor, you are the real Don Quixote
+of La Mancha, cynosure and morning star of knight-errantry, despite
+and in defiance of him who has sought to usurp your name and bring
+to naught your achievements, as the author of this book which I here
+present to you has done;" and with this he put a book which his
+companion carried into the hands of Don Quixote, who took it, and
+without replying began to run his eye over it; but he presently
+returned it saying, "In the little I have seen I have discovered three
+things in this author that deserve to be censured. The first is some
+words that I have read in the preface; the next that the language is
+Aragonese, for sometimes he writes without articles; and the third,
+which above all stamps him as ignorant, is that he goes wrong and
+departs from the truth in the most important part of the history,
+for here he says that my squire Sancho Panza's wife is called Mari
+Gutierrez, when she is called nothing of the sort, but Teresa Panza;
+and when a man errs on such an important point as this there is good
+reason to fear that he is in error on every other point in the
+history."</p>
+
+<p>"A nice sort of historian, indeed!" exclaimed Sancho at this; "he
+must know a deal about our affairs when he calls my wife Teresa Panza,
+Mari Gutierrez; take the book again, senor, and see if I am in it
+and if he has changed my name."</p>
+
+<p>"From your talk, friend," said Don Jeronimo, "no doubt you are
+Sancho Panza, Senor Don Quixote's squire."</p>
+
+<p>"Yes, I am," said Sancho; "and I'm proud of it."</p>
+
+<p>"Faith, then," said the gentleman, "this new author does not
+handle you with the decency that displays itself in your person; he
+makes you out a heavy feeder and a fool, and not in the least droll,
+and a very different being from the Sancho described in the First Part
+of your master's history."</p>
+
+<p>"God forgive him," said Sancho; "he might have left me in my
+corner without troubling his head about me; 'let him who knows how
+ring the bells; 'Saint Peter is very well in Rome.'"</p>
+
+<p>The two gentlemen pressed Don Quixote to come into their room and
+have supper with them, as they knew very well there was nothing in
+that inn fit for one of his sort. Don Quixote, who was always
+polite, yielded to their request and supped with them. Sancho stayed
+behind with the stew. and invested with plenary delegated authority
+seated himself at the head of the table, and the landlord sat down
+with him, for he was no less fond of cow-heel and calves' feet than
+Sancho was.</p>
+
+<p>While at supper Don Juan asked Don Quixote what news he had of the
+lady Dulcinea del Toboso, was she married, had she been brought to
+bed, or was she with child, or did she in maidenhood, still preserving
+her modesty and delicacy, cherish the remembrance of the tender
+passion of Senor Don Quixote?</p>
+
+<p>To this he replied, "Dulcinea is a maiden still, and my passion more
+firmly rooted than ever, our intercourse unsatisfactory as before, and
+her beauty transformed into that of a foul country wench;" and then he
+proceeded to give them a full and particular account of the
+enchantment of Dulcinea, and of what had happened him in the cave of
+Montesinos, together with what the sage Merlin had prescribed for
+her disenchantment, namely the scourging of Sancho.</p>
+
+<p>Exceedingly great was the amusement the two gentlemen derived from
+hearing Don Quixote recount the strange incidents of his history;
+and if they were amazed by his absurdities they were equally amazed by
+the elegant style in which he delivered them. On the one hand they
+regarded him as a man of wit and sense, and on the other he seemed
+to them a maundering blockhead, and they could not make up their minds
+whereabouts between wisdom and folly they ought to place him.</p>
+
+<p>Sancho having finished his supper, and left the landlord in the X
+condition, repaired to the room where his master was, and as he came
+in said, "May I die, sirs, if the author of this book your worships
+have got has any mind that we should agree; as he calls me glutton
+(according to what your worships say) I wish he may not call me
+drunkard too."</p>
+
+<p>"But he does," said Don Jeronimo; "I cannot remember, however, in
+what way, though I know his words are offensive, and what is more,
+lying, as I can see plainly by the physiognomy of the worthy Sancho
+before me."</p>
+
+<p>"Believe me," said Sancho, "the Sancho and the Don Quixote of this
+history must be different persons from those that appear in the one
+Cide Hamete Benengeli wrote, who are ourselves; my master valiant,
+wise, and true in love, and I simple, droll, and neither glutton nor
+drunkard."</p>
+
+<p>"I believe it," said Don Juan; "and were it possible, an order
+should be issued that no one should have the presumption to deal
+with anything relating to Don Quixote, save his original author Cide
+Hamete; just as Alexander commanded that no one should presume to
+paint his portrait save Apelles."</p>

+<br><br><br><br>
+
+<p>"Let him who will paint me," said Don Quixote; "but let him not
+abuse me; for patience will often break down when they heap insults
+upon it."</p>
+
+<p>"None can be offered to Senor Don Quixote," said Don Juan, "that
+he himself will not be able to avenge, if he does not ward it off with
+the shield of his patience, which, I take it, is great and strong."</p>
+
+<p>A considerable portion of the night passed in conversation of this
+sort, and though Don Juan wished Don Quixote to read more of the
+book to see what it was all about, he was not to be prevailed upon,
+saying that he treated it as read and pronounced it utterly silly;
+and, if by any chance it should come to its author's ears that he
+had it in his hand, he did not want him to flatter himself with the
+idea that he had read it; for our thoughts, and still more our eyes,
+should keep themselves aloof from what is obscene and filthy.</p>
+
+<p>They asked him whither he meant to direct his steps. He replied,
+to Saragossa, to take part in the harness jousts which were held in
+that city every year. Don Juan told him that the new history described
+how Don Quixote, let him be who he might, took part there in a tilting
+at the ring, utterly devoid of invention, poor in mottoes, very poor
+in costume, though rich in sillinesses.</p>
+
+<p>"For that very reason," said Don Quixote, "I will not set foot in
+Saragossa; and by that means I shall expose to the world the lie of
+this new history writer, and people will see that I am not the Don
+Quixote he speaks of."</p>
+
+<p>"You will do quite right," said Don Jeronimo; "and there are other
+jousts at Barcelona in which Senor Don Quixote may display his
+prowess."</p>
+
+<p>"That is what I mean to do," said Don Quixote; "and as it is now
+time, I pray your worships to give me leave to retire to bed, and to
+place and retain me among the number of your greatest friends and
+servants."</p>
+
+<p>"And me too," said Sancho; "maybe I'll be good for something."</p>
+
+<p>With this they exchanged farewells, and Don Quixote and Sancho
+retired to their room, leaving Don Juan and Don Jeronimo amazed to see
+the medley he made of his good sense and his craziness; and they
+felt thoroughly convinced that these, and not those their Aragonese
+author described, were the genuine Don Quixote and Sancho. Don Quixote
+rose betimes, and bade adieu to his hosts by knocking at the partition
+of the other room. Sancho paid the landlord magnificently, and
+recommended him either to say less about the providing of his inn or
+to keep it better provided.</p>

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+CHAPTER LVIII.
+
+WHICH TELLS HOW ADVENTURES CAME CROWDING ON DON QUIXOTE IN SUCH NUMBERS
+THAT THEY GAVE ONE ANOTHER NO BREATHING-TIME
+
+
+When Don Quixote saw himself in open country, free, and relieved from the
+attentions of Altisidora, he felt at his ease, and in fresh spirits to
+take up the pursuit of chivalry once more; and turning to Sancho he said,
+"Freedom, Sancho, is one of the most precious gifts that heaven has
+bestowed upon men; no treasures that the earth holds buried or the sea
+conceals can compare with it; for freedom, as for honour, life may and
+should be ventured; and on the other hand, captivity is the greatest evil
+that can fall to the lot of man. I say this, Sancho, because thou hast
+seen the good cheer, the abundance we have enjoyed in this castle we are
+leaving; well then, amid those dainty banquets and snow-cooled beverages
+I felt as though I were undergoing the straits of hunger, because I did
+not enjoy them with the same freedom as if they had been mine own; for
+the sense of being under an obligation to return benefits and favours
+received is a restraint that checks the independence of the spirit. Happy
+he, to whom heaven has given a piece of bread for which he is not bound
+to give thanks to any but heaven itself!"
+
+"For all your worship says," said Sancho, "it is not becoming that there
+should be no thanks on our part for two hundred gold crowns that the
+duke's majordomo has given me in a little purse which I carry next my
+heart, like a warming plaster or comforter, to meet any chance calls; for
+we shan't always find castles where they'll entertain us; now and then we
+may light upon roadside inns where they'll cudgel us."
+
+In conversation of this sort the knight and squire errant were pursuing
+their journey, when, after they had gone a little more than half a
+league, they perceived some dozen men dressed like labourers stretched
+upon their cloaks on the grass of a green meadow eating their dinner.
+They had beside them what seemed to be white sheets concealing some
+objects under them, standing upright or lying flat, and arranged at
+intervals. Don Quixote approached the diners, and, saluting them
+courteously first, he asked them what it was those cloths covered.
+"Senor," answered one of the party, "under these cloths are some images
+carved in relief intended for a retablo we are putting up in our village;
+we carry them covered up that they may not be soiled, and on our
+shoulders that they may not be broken."
+
+"With your good leave," said Don Quixote, "I should like to see them; for
+images that are carried so carefully no doubt must be fine ones."
+
+"I should think they were!" said the other; "let the money they cost
+speak for that; for as a matter of fact there is not one of them that
+does not stand us in more than fifty ducats; and that your worship may
+judge; wait a moment, and you shall see with your own eyes;" and getting
+up from his dinner he went and uncovered the first image, which proved to
+be one of Saint George on horseback with a serpent writhing at his feet
+and the lance thrust down its throat with all that fierceness that is
+usually depicted. The whole group was one blaze of gold, as the saying
+is. On seeing it Don Quixote said, "That knight was one of the best
+knights-errant the army of heaven ever owned; he was called Don Saint
+George, and he was moreover a defender of maidens. Let us see this next
+one."
+
+The man uncovered it, and it was seen to be that of Saint Martin on his
+horse, dividing his cloak with the beggar. The instant Don Quixote saw it
+he said, "This knight too was one of the Christian adventurers, but I
+believe he was generous rather than valiant, as thou mayest perceive,
+Sancho, by his dividing his cloak with the beggar and giving him half of
+it; no doubt it was winter at the time, for otherwise he would have given
+him the whole of it, so charitable was he."
+
+"It was not that, most likely," said Sancho, "but that he held with the
+proverb that says, 'For giving and keeping there's need of brains.'"
+
+Don Quixote laughed, and asked them to take off the next cloth,
+underneath which was seen the image of the patron saint of the Spains
+seated on horseback, his sword stained with blood, trampling on Moors and
+treading heads underfoot; and on seeing it Don Quixote exclaimed, "Ay,
+this is a knight, and of the squadrons of Christ! This one is called Don
+Saint James the Moorslayer, one of the bravest saints and knights the
+world ever had or heaven has now."
+
+They then raised another cloth which it appeared covered Saint Paul
+falling from his horse, with all the details that are usually given in
+representations of his conversion. When Don Quixote saw it, rendered in
+such lifelike style that one would have said Christ was speaking and Paul
+answering, "This," he said, "was in his time the greatest enemy that the
+Church of God our Lord had, and the greatest champion it will ever have;
+a knight-errant in life, a steadfast saint in death, an untiring labourer
+in the Lord's vineyard, a teacher of the Gentiles, whose school was
+heaven, and whose instructor and master was Jesus Christ himself."
+
+There were no more images, so Don Quixote bade them cover them up again,
+and said to those who had brought them, "I take it as a happy omen,
+brothers, to have seen what I have; for these saints and knights were of
+the same profession as myself, which is the calling of arms; only there
+is this difference between them and me, that they were saints, and fought
+with divine weapons, and I am a sinner and fight with human ones. They
+won heaven by force of arms, for heaven suffereth violence; and I, so
+far, know not what I have won by dint of my sufferings; but if my
+Dulcinea del Toboso were to be released from hers, perhaps with mended
+fortunes and a mind restored to itself I might direct my steps in a
+better path than I am following at present."
+
+"May God hear and sin be deaf," said Sancho to this.
+
+The men were filled with wonder, as well at the figure as at the words of
+Don Quixote, though they did not understand one half of what he meant by
+them. They finished their dinner, took their images on their backs, and
+bidding farewell to Don Quixote resumed their journey.
+
+Sancho was amazed afresh at the extent of his master's knowledge, as much
+as if he had never known him, for it seemed to him that there was no
+story or event in the world that he had not at his fingers' ends and
+fixed in his memory, and he said to him, "In truth, master mine, if this
+that has happened to us to-day is to be called an adventure, it has been
+one of the sweetest and pleasantest that have befallen us in the whole
+course of our travels; we have come out of it unbelaboured and
+undismayed, neither have we drawn sword nor have we smitten the earth
+with our bodies, nor have we been left famishing; blessed be God that he
+has let me see such a thing with my own eyes!"
+
+"Thou sayest well, Sancho," said Don Quixote, "but remember all times are
+not alike nor do they always run the same way; and these things the
+vulgar commonly call omens, which are not based upon any natural reason,
+will by him who is wise be esteemed and reckoned happy accidents merely.
+One of these believers in omens will get up of a morning, leave his
+house, and meet a friar of the order of the blessed Saint Francis, and,
+as if he had met a griffin, he will turn about and go home. With another
+Mendoza the salt is spilt on his table, and gloom is spilt over his
+heart, as if nature was obliged to give warning of coming misfortunes by
+means of such trivial things as these. The wise man and the Christian
+should not trifle with what it may please heaven to do. Scipio on coming
+to Africa stumbled as he leaped on shore; his soldiers took it as a bad
+omen; but he, clasping the soil with his arms, exclaimed, 'Thou canst not
+escape me, Africa, for I hold thee tight between my arms.' Thus, Sancho,
+meeting those images has been to me a most happy occurrence."
+
+"I can well believe it," said Sancho; "but I wish your worship would tell
+me what is the reason that the Spaniards, when they are about to give
+battle, in calling on that Saint James the Moorslayer, say 'Santiago and
+close Spain!' Is Spain, then, open, so that it is needful to close it; or
+what is the meaning of this form?"
+
+"Thou art very simple, Sancho," said Don Quixote; "God, look you, gave
+that great knight of the Red Cross to Spain as her patron saint and
+protector, especially in those hard struggles the Spaniards had with the
+Moors; and therefore they invoke and call upon him as their defender in
+all their battles; and in these he has been many a time seen beating
+down, trampling under foot, destroying and slaughtering the Hagarene
+squadrons in the sight of all; of which fact I could give thee many
+examples recorded in truthful Spanish histories."
+
+Sancho changed the subject, and said to his master, "I marvel, senor, at
+the boldness of Altisidora, the duchess's handmaid; he whom they call
+Love must have cruelly pierced and wounded her; they say he is a little
+blind urchin who, though blear-eyed, or more properly speaking sightless,
+if he aims at a heart, be it ever so small, hits it and pierces it
+through and through with his arrows. I have heard it said too that the
+arrows of Love are blunted and robbed of their points by maidenly modesty
+and reserve; but with this Altisidora it seems they are sharpened rather
+than blunted."
+
+"Bear in mind, Sancho," said Don Quixote, "that love is influenced by no
+consideration, recognises no restraints of reason, and is of the same
+nature as death, that assails alike the lofty palaces of kings and the
+humble cabins of shepherds; and when it takes entire possession of a
+heart, the first thing it does is to banish fear and shame from it; and
+so without shame Altisidora declared her passion, which excited in my
+mind embarrassment rather than commiseration."
+
+"Notable cruelty!" exclaimed Sancho; "unheard-of ingratitude! I can only
+say for myself that the very smallest loving word of hers would have
+subdued me and made a slave of me. The devil! What a heart of marble,
+what bowels of brass, what a soul of mortar! But I can't imagine what it
+is that this damsel saw in your worship that could have conquered and
+captivated her so. What gallant figure was it, what bold bearing, what
+sprightly grace, what comeliness of feature, which of these things by
+itself, or what all together, could have made her fall in love with you?
+For indeed and in truth many a time I stop to look at your worship from
+the sole of your foot to the topmost hair of your head, and I see more to
+frighten one than to make one fall in love; moreover I have heard say
+that beauty is the first and main thing that excites love, and as your
+worship has none at all, I don't know what the poor creature fell in love
+with."
+
+"Recollect, Sancho," replied Don Quixote, "there are two sorts of beauty,
+one of the mind, the other of the body; that of the mind displays and
+exhibits itself in intelligence, in modesty, in honourable conduct, in
+generosity, in good breeding; and all these qualities are possible and
+may exist in an ugly man; and when it is this sort of beauty and not that
+of the body that is the attraction, love is apt to spring up suddenly and
+violently. I, Sancho, perceive clearly enough that I am not beautiful,
+but at the same time I know I am not hideous; and it is enough for an
+honest man not to be a monster to be an object of love, if only he
+possesses the endowments of mind I have mentioned."
+
+While engaged in this discourse they were making their way through a wood
+that lay beyond the road, when suddenly, without expecting anything of
+the kind, Don Quixote found himself caught in some nets of green cord
+stretched from one tree to another; and unable to conceive what it could
+be, he said to Sancho, "Sancho, it strikes me this affair of these nets
+will prove one of the strangest adventures imaginable. May I die if the
+enchanters that persecute me are not trying to entangle me in them and
+delay my journey, by way of revenge for my obduracy towards Altisidora.
+Well then let me tell them that if these nets, instead of being green
+cord, were made of the hardest diamonds, or stronger than that wherewith
+the jealous god of blacksmiths enmeshed Venus and Mars, I would break
+them as easily as if they were made of rushes or cotton threads." But
+just as he was about to press forward and break through all, suddenly
+from among some trees two shepherdesses of surpassing beauty presented
+themselves to his sight--or at least damsels dressed like shepherdesses,
+save that their jerkins and sayas were of fine brocade; that is to say,
+the sayas were rich farthingales of gold embroidered tabby. Their hair,
+that in its golden brightness vied with the beams of the sun itself, fell
+loose upon their shoulders and was crowned with garlands twined with
+green laurel and red everlasting; and their years to all appearance were
+not under fifteen nor above eighteen.
+
+Such was the spectacle that filled Sancho with amazement, fascinated Don
+Quixote, made the sun halt in his course to behold them, and held all
+four in a strange silence. One of the shepherdesses, at length, was the
+first to speak and said to Don Quixote, "Hold, sir knight, and do not
+break these nets; for they are not spread here to do you any harm, but
+only for our amusement; and as I know you will ask why they have been put
+up, and who we are, I will tell you in a few words. In a village some two
+leagues from this, where there are many people of quality and rich
+gentlefolk, it was agreed upon by a number of friends and relations to
+come with their wives, sons and daughters, neighbours, friends and
+kinsmen, and make holiday in this spot, which is one of the pleasantest
+in the whole neighbourhood, setting up a new pastoral Arcadia among
+ourselves, we maidens dressing ourselves as shepherdesses and the youths
+as shepherds. We have prepared two eclogues, one by the famous poet
+Garcilasso, the other by the most excellent Camoens, in its own
+Portuguese tongue, but we have not as yet acted them. Yesterday was the
+first day of our coming here; we have a few of what they say are called
+field-tents pitched among the trees on the bank of an ample brook that
+fertilises all these meadows; last night we spread these nets in the
+trees here to snare the silly little birds that startled by the noise we
+make may fly into them. If you please to be our guest, senor, you will be
+welcomed heartily and courteously, for here just now neither care nor
+sorrow shall enter."
+
+She held her peace and said no more, and Don Quixote made answer, "Of a
+truth, fairest lady, Actaeon when he unexpectedly beheld Diana bathing in
+the stream could not have been more fascinated and wonderstruck than I at
+the sight of your beauty. I commend your mode of entertainment, and thank
+you for the kindness of your invitation; and if I can serve you, you may
+command me with full confidence of being obeyed, for my profession is
+none other than to show myself grateful, and ready to serve persons of
+all conditions, but especially persons of quality such as your appearance
+indicates; and if, instead of taking up, as they probably do, but a small
+space, these nets took up the whole surface of the globe, I would seek
+out new worlds through which to pass, so as not to break them; and that
+ye may give some degree of credence to this exaggerated language of mine,
+know that it is no less than Don Quixote of La Mancha that makes this
+declaration to you, if indeed it be that such a name has reached your
+ears."
+
+"Ah! friend of my soul," instantly exclaimed the other shepherdess, "what
+great good fortune has befallen us! Seest thou this gentleman we have
+before us? Well then let me tell thee he is the most valiant and the most
+devoted and the most courteous gentleman in all the world, unless a
+history of his achievements that has been printed and I have read is
+telling lies and deceiving us. I will lay a wager that this good fellow
+who is with him is one Sancho Panza his squire, whose drolleries none can
+equal."
+
+"That's true," said Sancho; "I am that same droll and squire you speak
+of, and this gentleman is my master Don Quixote of La Mancha, the same
+that's in the history and that they talk about."
+
+"Oh, my friend," said the other, "let us entreat him to stay; for it will
+give our fathers and brothers infinite pleasure; I too have heard just
+what thou hast told me of the valour of the one and the drolleries of the
+other; and what is more, of him they say that he is the most constant and
+loyal lover that was ever heard of, and that his lady is one Dulcinea del
+Toboso, to whom all over Spain the palm of beauty is awarded."
+
+"And justly awarded," said Don Quixote, "unless, indeed, your unequalled
+beauty makes it a matter of doubt. But spare yourselves the trouble,
+ladies, of pressing me to stay, for the urgent calls of my profession do
+not allow me to take rest under any circumstances."
+
+At this instant there came up to the spot where the four stood a brother
+of one of the two shepherdesses, like them in shepherd costume, and as
+richly and gaily dressed as they were. They told him that their companion
+was the valiant Don Quixote of La Mancha, and the other Sancho his
+squire, of whom he knew already from having read their history. The gay
+shepherd offered him his services and begged that he would accompany him
+to their tents, and Don Quixote had to give way and comply. And now the
+gave was started, and the nets were filled with a variety of birds that
+deceived by the colour fell into the danger they were flying from.
+Upwards of thirty persons, all gaily attired as shepherds and
+shepherdesses, assembled on the spot, and were at once informed who Don
+Quixote and his squire were, whereat they were not a little delighted, as
+they knew of him already through his history. They repaired to the tents,
+where they found tables laid out, and choicely, plentifully, and neatly
+furnished. They treated Don Quixote as a person of distinction, giving
+him the place of honour, and all observed him, and were full of
+astonishment at the spectacle. At last the cloth being removed, Don
+Quixote with great composure lifted up his voice and said:
+
+"One of the greatest sins that men are guilty of is--some will say
+pride--but I say ingratitude, going by the common saying that hell is
+full of ingrates. This sin, so far as it has lain in my power, I have
+endeavoured to avoid ever since I have enjoyed the faculty of reason; and
+if I am unable to requite good deeds that have been done me by other
+deeds, I substitute the desire to do so; and if that be not enough I make
+them known publicly; for he who declares and makes known the good deeds
+done to him would repay them by others if it were in his power, and for
+the most part those who receive are the inferiors of those who give.
+Thus, God is superior to all because he is the supreme giver, and the
+offerings of man fall short by an infinite distance of being a full
+return for the gifts of God; but gratitude in some degree makes up for
+this deficiency and shortcoming. I therefore, grateful for the favour
+that has been extended to me here, and unable to make a return in the
+same measure, restricted as I am by the narrow limits of my power, offer
+what I can and what I have to offer in my own way; and so I declare that
+for two full days I will maintain in the middle of this highway leading
+to Saragossa, that these ladies disguised as shepherdesses, who are here
+present, are the fairest and most courteous maidens in the world,
+excepting only the peerless Dulcinea del Toboso, sole mistress of my
+thoughts, be it said without offence to those who hear me, ladies and
+gentlemen."
+
+On hearing this Sancho, who had been listening with great attention,
+cried out in a loud voice, "Is it possible there is anyone in the world
+who will dare to say and swear that this master of mine is a madman? Say,
+gentlemen shepherds, is there a village priest, be he ever so wise or
+learned, who could say what my master has said; or is there
+knight-errant, whatever renown he may have as a man of valour, that could
+offer what my master has offered now?"
+
+Don Quixote turned upon Sancho, and with a countenance glowing with anger
+said to him, "Is it possible, Sancho, there is anyone in the whole world
+who will say thou art not a fool, with a lining to match, and I know not
+what trimmings of impertinence and roguery? Who asked thee to meddle in
+my affairs, or to inquire whether I am a wise man or a blockhead? Hold
+thy peace; answer me not a word; saddle Rocinante if he be unsaddled; and
+let us go to put my offer into execution; for with the right that I have
+on my side thou mayest reckon as vanquished all who shall venture to
+question it;" and in a great rage, and showing his anger plainly, he rose
+from his seat, leaving the company lost in wonder, and making them feel
+doubtful whether they ought to regard him as a madman or a rational
+being. In the end, though they sought to dissuade him from involving
+himself in such a challenge, assuring him they admitted his gratitude as
+fully established, and needed no fresh proofs to be convinced of his
+valiant spirit, as those related in the history of his exploits were
+sufficient, still Don Quixote persisted in his resolve; and mounted on
+Rocinante, bracing his buckler on his arm and grasping his lance, he
+posted himself in the middle of a high road that was not far from the
+green meadow. Sancho followed on Dapple, together with all the members of
+the pastoral gathering, eager to see what would be the upshot of his
+vainglorious and extraordinary proposal.
+
+Don Quixote, then, having, as has been said, planted himself in the
+middle of the road, made the welkin ring with words to this effect: "Ho
+ye travellers and wayfarers, knights, squires, folk on foot or on
+horseback, who pass this way or shall pass in the course of the next two
+days! Know that Don Quixote of La Mancha, knight-errant, is posted here
+to maintain by arms that the beauty and courtesy enshrined in the nymphs
+that dwell in these meadows and groves surpass all upon earth, putting
+aside the lady of my heart, Dulcinea del Toboso. Wherefore, let him who
+is of the opposite opinion come on, for here I await him."
+
+Twice he repeated the same words, and twice they fell unheard by any
+adventurer; but fate, that was guiding affairs for him from better to
+better, so ordered it that shortly afterwards there appeared on the road
+a crowd of men on horseback, many of them with lances in their hands, all
+riding in a compact body and in great haste. No sooner had those who were
+with Don Quixote seen them than they turned about and withdrew to some
+distance from the road, for they knew that if they stayed some harm might
+come to them; but Don Quixote with intrepid heart stood his ground, and
+Sancho Panza shielded himself with Rocinante's hind-quarters. The troop
+of lancers came up, and one of them who was in advance began shouting to
+Don Quixote, "Get out of the way, you son of the devil, or these bulls
+will knock you to pieces!"
+
+"Rabble!" returned Don Quixote, "I care nothing for bulls, be they the
+fiercest Jarama breeds on its banks. Confess at once, scoundrels, that
+what I have declared is true; else ye have to deal with me in combat."
+
+The herdsman had no time to reply, nor Don Quixote to get out of the way
+even if he wished; and so the drove of fierce bulls and tame bullocks,
+together with the crowd of herdsmen and others who were taking them to be
+penned up in a village where they were to be run the next day, passed
+over Don Quixote and over Sancho, Rocinante and Dapple, hurling them all
+to the earth and rolling them over on the ground. Sancho was left
+crushed, Don Quixote scared, Dapple belaboured and Rocinante in no very
+sound condition.
+
+They all got up, however, at length, and Don Quixote in great haste,
+stumbling here and falling there, started off running after the drove,
+shouting out, "Hold! stay! ye rascally rabble, a single knight awaits
+you, and he is not of the temper or opinion of those who say, 'For a
+flying enemy make a bridge of silver.'" The retreating party in their
+haste, however, did not stop for that, or heed his menaces any more than
+last year's clouds. Weariness brought Don Quixote to a halt, and more
+enraged than avenged he sat down on the road to wait until Sancho,
+Rocinante and Dapple came up. When they reached him master and man
+mounted once more, and without going back to bid farewell to the mock or
+imitation Arcadia, and more in humiliation than contentment, they
+continued their journey.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER LIX.
+
+WHEREIN IS RELATED THE STRANGE THING, WHICH MAY BE REGARDED AS AN
+ADVENTURE, THAT HAPPENED DON QUIXOTE
+
+
+A clear limpid spring which they discovered in a cool grove relieved Don
+Quixote and Sancho of the dust and fatigue due to the unpolite behaviour
+of the bulls, and by the side of this, having turned Dapple and Rocinante
+loose without headstall or bridle, the forlorn pair, master and man,
+seated themselves. Sancho had recourse to the larder of his alforjas and
+took out of them what he called the prog; Don Quixote rinsed his mouth
+and bathed his face, by which cooling process his flagging energies were
+revived. Out of pure vexation he remained without eating, and out of pure
+politeness Sancho did not venture to touch a morsel of what was before
+him, but waited for his master to act as taster. Seeing, however, that,
+absorbed in thought, he was forgetting to carry the bread to his mouth,
+he said never a word, and trampling every sort of good breeding under
+foot, began to stow away in his paunch the bread and cheese that came to
+his hand.
+
+"Eat, Sancho my friend," said Don Quixote; "support life, which is of
+more consequence to thee than to me, and leave me to die under the pain
+of my thoughts and pressure of my misfortunes. I was born, Sancho, to
+live dying, and thou to die eating; and to prove the truth of what I say,
+look at me, printed in histories, famed in arms, courteous in behaviour,
+honoured by princes, courted by maidens; and after all, when I looked
+forward to palms, triumphs, and crowns, won and earned by my valiant
+deeds, I have this morning seen myself trampled on, kicked, and crushed
+by the feet of unclean and filthy animals. This thought blunts my teeth,
+paralyses my jaws, cramps my hands, and robs me of all appetite for food;
+so much so that I have a mind to let myself die of hunger, the cruelest
+death of all deaths."
+
+"So then," said Sancho, munching hard all the time, "your worship does
+not agree with the proverb that says, 'Let Martha die, but let her die
+with a full belly.' I, at any rate, have no mind to kill myself; so far
+from that, I mean to do as the cobbler does, who stretches the leather
+with his teeth until he makes it reach as far as he wants. I'll stretch
+out my life by eating until it reaches the end heaven has fixed for it;
+and let me tell you, senor, there's no greater folly than to think of
+dying of despair as your worship does; take my advice, and after eating
+lie down and sleep a bit on this green grass-mattress, and you will see
+that when you awake you'll feel something better."
+
+Don Quixote did as he recommended, for it struck him that Sancho's
+reasoning was more like a philosopher's than a blockhead's, and said he,
+"Sancho, if thou wilt do for me what I am going to tell thee my ease of
+mind would be more assured and my heaviness of heart not so great; and it
+is this; to go aside a little while I am sleeping in accordance with thy
+advice, and, making bare thy carcase to the air, to give thyself three or
+four hundred lashes with Rocinante's reins, on account of the three
+thousand and odd thou art to give thyself for the disenchantment of
+Dulcinea; for it is a great pity that the poor lady should be left
+enchanted through thy carelessness and negligence."
+
+"There is a good deal to be said on that point," said Sancho; "let us
+both go to sleep now, and after that, God has decreed what will happen.
+Let me tell your worship that for a man to whip himself in cold blood is
+a hard thing, especially if the stripes fall upon an ill-nourished and
+worse-fed body. Let my lady Dulcinea have patience, and when she is least
+expecting it, she will see me made a riddle of with whipping, and 'until
+death it's all life;' I mean that I have still life in me, and the desire
+to make good what I have promised."
+
+Don Quixote thanked him, and ate a little, and Sancho a good deal, and
+then they both lay down to sleep, leaving those two inseparable friends
+and comrades, Rocinante and Dapple, to their own devices and to feed
+unrestrained upon the abundant grass with which the meadow was furnished.
+They woke up rather late, mounted once more and resumed their journey,
+pushing on to reach an inn which was in sight, apparently a league off. I
+say an inn, because Don Quixote called it so, contrary to his usual
+practice of calling all inns castles. They reached it, and asked the
+landlord if they could put up there. He said yes, with as much comfort
+and as good fare as they could find in Saragossa. They dismounted, and
+Sancho stowed away his larder in a room of which the landlord gave him
+the key. He took the beasts to the stable, fed them, and came back to see
+what orders Don Quixote, who was seated on a bench at the door, had for
+him, giving special thanks to heaven that this inn had not been taken for
+a castle by his master. Supper-time came, and they repaired to their
+room, and Sancho asked the landlord what he had to give them for supper.
+To this the landlord replied that his mouth should be the measure; he had
+only to ask what he would; for that inn was provided with the birds of
+the air and the fowls of the earth and the fish of the sea.
+
+"There's no need of all that," said Sancho; "if they'll roast us a couple
+of chickens we'll be satisfied, for my master is delicate and eats
+little, and I'm not over and above gluttonous."
+
+The landlord replied he had no chickens, for the kites had stolen them.
+
+"Well then," said Sancho, "let senor landlord tell them to roast a
+pullet, so that it is a tender one."
+
+"Pullet! My father!" said the landlord; "indeed and in truth it's only
+yesterday I sent over fifty to the city to sell; but saving pullets ask
+what you will."
+
+"In that case," said Sancho, "you will not be without veal or kid."
+
+"Just now," said the landlord, "there's none in the house, for it's all
+finished; but next week there will be enough and to spare."
+
+"Much good that does us," said Sancho; "I'll lay a bet that all these
+short-comings are going to wind up in plenty of bacon and eggs."
+
+"By God," said the landlord, "my guest's wits must be precious dull; I
+tell him I have neither pullets nor hens, and he wants me to have eggs!
+Talk of other dainties, if you please, and don't ask for hens again."
+
+"Body o' me!" said Sancho, "let's settle the matter; say at once what you
+have got, and let us have no more words about it."
+
+"In truth and earnest, senor guest," said the landlord, "all I have is a
+couple of cow-heels like calves' feet, or a couple of calves' feet like
+cowheels; they are boiled with chick-peas, onions, and bacon, and at this
+moment they are crying 'Come eat me, come eat me."
+
+"I mark them for mine on the spot," said Sancho; "let nobody touch them;
+I'll pay better for them than anyone else, for I could not wish for
+anything more to my taste; and I don't care a pin whether they are feet
+or heels."
+
+"Nobody shall touch them," said the landlord; "for the other guests I
+have, being persons of high quality, bring their own cook and caterer and
+larder with them."
+
+"If you come to people of quality," said Sancho, "there's nobody more so
+than my master; but the calling he follows does not allow of larders or
+store-rooms; we lay ourselves down in the middle of a meadow, and fill
+ourselves with acorns or medlars."
+
+Here ended Sancho's conversation with the landlord, Sancho not caring to
+carry it any farther by answering him; for he had already asked him what
+calling or what profession it was his master was of.
+
+Supper-time having come, then, Don Quixote betook himself to his room,
+the landlord brought in the stew-pan just as it was, and he sat himself
+down to sup very resolutely. It seems that in another room, which was
+next to Don Quixote's, with nothing but a thin partition to separate it,
+he overheard these words, "As you live, Senor Don Jeronimo, while they
+are bringing supper, let us read another chapter of the Second Part of
+'Don Quixote of La Mancha.'"
+
+The instant Don Quixote heard his own name be started to his feet and
+listened with open ears to catch what they said about him, and heard the
+Don Jeronimo who had been addressed say in reply, "Why would you have us
+read that absurd stuff, Don Juan, when it is impossible for anyone who
+has read the First Part of the history of 'Don Quixote of La Mancha' to
+take any pleasure in reading this Second Part?"
+
+"For all that," said he who was addressed as Don Juan, "we shall do well
+to read it, for there is no book so bad but it has something good in it.
+What displeases me most in it is that it represents Don Quixote as now
+cured of his love for Dulcinea del Toboso."
+
+On hearing this Don Quixote, full of wrath and indignation, lifted up his
+voice and said, "Whoever he may be who says that Don Quixote of La Mancha
+has forgotten or can forget Dulcinea del Toboso, I will teach him with
+equal arms that what he says is very far from the truth; for neither can
+the peerless Dulcinea del Toboso be forgotten, nor can forgetfulness have
+a place in Don Quixote; his motto is constancy, and his profession to
+maintain the same with his life and never wrong it."
+
+"Who is this that answers us?" said they in the next room.
+
+"Who should it be," said Sancho, "but Don Quixote of La Mancha himself,
+who will make good all he has said and all he will say; for pledges don't
+trouble a good payer."
+
+Sancho had hardly uttered these words when two gentlemen, for such they
+seemed to be, entered the room, and one of them, throwing his arms round
+Don Quixote's neck, said to him, "Your appearance cannot leave any
+question as to your name, nor can your name fail to identify your
+appearance; unquestionably, senor, you are the real Don Quixote of La
+Mancha, cynosure and morning star of knight-errantry, despite and in
+defiance of him who has sought to usurp your name and bring to naught
+your achievements, as the author of this book which I here present to you
+has done;" and with this he put a book which his companion carried into
+the hands of Don Quixote, who took it, and without replying began to run
+his eye over it; but he presently returned it saying, "In the little I
+have seen I have discovered three things in this author that deserve to
+be censured. The first is some words that I have read in the preface; the
+next that the language is Aragonese, for sometimes he writes without
+articles; and the third, which above all stamps him as ignorant, is that
+he goes wrong and departs from the truth in the most important part of
+the history, for here he says that my squire Sancho Panza's wife is
+called Mari Gutierrez, when she is called nothing of the sort, but Teresa
+Panza; and when a man errs on such an important point as this there is
+good reason to fear that he is in error on every other point in the
+history."
+
+"A nice sort of historian, indeed!" exclaimed Sancho at this; "he must
+know a deal about our affairs when he calls my wife Teresa Panza, Mari
+Gutierrez; take the book again, senor, and see if I am in it and if he
+has changed my name."
+
+"From your talk, friend," said Don Jeronimo, "no doubt you are Sancho
+Panza, Senor Don Quixote's squire."
+
+"Yes, I am," said Sancho; "and I'm proud of it."
+
+"Faith, then," said the gentleman, "this new author does not handle you
+with the decency that displays itself in your person; he makes you out a
+heavy feeder and a fool, and not in the least droll, and a very different
+being from the Sancho described in the First Part of your master's
+history."
+
+"God forgive him," said Sancho; "he might have left me in my corner
+without troubling his head about me; 'let him who knows how ring the
+bells; 'Saint Peter is very well in Rome.'"
+
+The two gentlemen pressed Don Quixote to come into their room and have
+supper with them, as they knew very well there was nothing in that inn
+fit for one of his sort. Don Quixote, who was always polite, yielded to
+their request and supped with them. Sancho stayed behind with the stew.
+and invested with plenary delegated authority seated himself at the head
+of the table, and the landlord sat down with him, for he was no less fond
+of cow-heel and calves' feet than Sancho was.
+
+While at supper Don Juan asked Don Quixote what news he had of the lady
+Dulcinea del Toboso, was she married, had she been brought to bed, or was
+she with child, or did she in maidenhood, still preserving her modesty
+and delicacy, cherish the remembrance of the tender passion of Senor Don
+Quixote?
+
+To this he replied, "Dulcinea is a maiden still, and my passion more
+firmly rooted than ever, our intercourse unsatisfactory as before, and
+her beauty transformed into that of a foul country wench;" and then he
+proceeded to give them a full and particular account of the enchantment
+of Dulcinea, and of what had happened him in the cave of Montesinos,
+together with what the sage Merlin had prescribed for her disenchantment,
+namely the scourging of Sancho.
+
+Exceedingly great was the amusement the two gentlemen derived from
+hearing Don Quixote recount the strange incidents of his history; and if
+they were amazed by his absurdities they were equally amazed by the
+elegant style in which he delivered them. On the one hand they regarded
+him as a man of wit and sense, and on the other he seemed to them a
+maundering blockhead, and they could not make up their minds whereabouts
+between wisdom and folly they ought to place him.
+
+Sancho having finished his supper, and left the landlord in the X
+condition, repaired to the room where his master was, and as he came in
+said, "May I die, sirs, if the author of this book your worships have got
+has any mind that we should agree; as he calls me glutton (according to
+what your worships say) I wish he may not call me drunkard too."
+
+"But he does," said Don Jeronimo; "I cannot remember, however, in what
+way, though I know his words are offensive, and what is more, lying, as I
+can see plainly by the physiognomy of the worthy Sancho before me."
+
+"Believe me," said Sancho, "the Sancho and the Don Quixote of this
+history must be different persons from those that appear in the one Cide
+Hamete Benengeli wrote, who are ourselves; my master valiant, wise, and
+true in love, and I simple, droll, and neither glutton nor drunkard."
+
+"I believe it," said Don Juan; "and were it possible, an order should be
+issued that no one should have the presumption to deal with anything
+relating to Don Quixote, save his original author Cide Hamete; just as
+Alexander commanded that no one should presume to paint his portrait save
+Apelles."
+
+"Let him who will paint me," said Don Quixote; "but let him not abuse me;
+for patience will often break down when they heap insults upon it."
+
+"None can be offered to Senor Don Quixote," said Don Juan, "that he
+himself will not be able to avenge, if he does not ward it off with the
+shield of his patience, which, I take it, is great and strong."
+
+A considerable portion of the night passed in conversation of this sort,
+and though Don Juan wished Don Quixote to read more of the book to see
+what it was all about, he was not to be prevailed upon, saying that he
+treated it as read and pronounced it utterly silly; and, if by any chance
+it should come to its author's ears that he had it in his hand, he did
+not want him to flatter himself with the idea that he had read it; for
+our thoughts, and still more our eyes, should keep themselves aloof from
+what is obscene and filthy.
+
+They asked him whither he meant to direct his steps. He replied, to
+Saragossa, to take part in the harness jousts which were held in that
+city every year. Don Juan told him that the new history described how Don
+Quixote, let him be who he might, took part there in a tilting at the
+ring, utterly devoid of invention, poor in mottoes, very poor in costume,
+though rich in sillinesses.
+
+"For that very reason," said Don Quixote, "I will not set foot in
+Saragossa; and by that means I shall expose to the world the lie of this
+new history writer, and people will see that I am not the Don Quixote he
+speaks of."
+
+"You will do quite right," said Don Jeronimo; "and there are other jousts
+at Barcelona in which Senor Don Quixote may display his prowess."
+
+"That is what I mean to do," said Don Quixote; "and as it is now time, I
+pray your worships to give me leave to retire to bed, and to place and
+retain me among the number of your greatest friends and servants."
+
+"And me too," said Sancho; "maybe I'll be good for something."
+
+With this they exchanged farewells, and Don Quixote and Sancho retired to
+their room, leaving Don Juan and Don Jeronimo amazed to see the medley he
+made of his good sense and his craziness; and they felt thoroughly
+convinced that these, and not those their Aragonese author described,
+were the genuine Don Quixote and Sancho. Don Quixote rose betimes, and
+bade adieu to his hosts by knocking at the partition of the other room.
+Sancho paid the landlord magnificently, and recommended him either to say
+less about the providing of his inn or to keep it better provided.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with

+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+

+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance

+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
