Title: GINES DE PASSAMONTE ANSWERED FOR THEM ALL
Period: 1850-1900;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Don Quixote, upon seeing a procession of galley slaves attacks one of the guards, inciting a revolt from the slaves which is successful because they throw rocks at their captors and one of the slaves, Gines Passamonte picks up the fallen guard's musket. Having freed the Galley Slaves from their bondage, Don Quixote (on horseback) called all the fugitives together and they gathered in a ring about him to know his pleasure. Quixote tells the mass to present themselves to Dulcinea in the city of Toboso in order to show their gratitude. Gines de Passamonte, with the barrel of a gun slung over his shoulder, answers for all the slaves, and tells Quixote that his request is impossible for they all must hide from the Holy Brotherhood, who doubtlessly will now be hunting them.
