Title: Adventure at the Inn
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Two well-appointed men on horseback arrive at the inn and knocked on the door very hard. Don Quixote answered and chastised the men for arriving at such inopportune hours, as everyone is either asleep. As Don Quixote talked to these travelers, Rocinante reared up causing Quixote tumble from the saddle. Quixote would have fallen to theground, had he not caught his hand in some rope which hung from a barred window. As Quixote hung so near the ground he screamed in pain so loudly, that the innkeeper opened the inn's door, accompanied by three women, to see who was making the noise.
