[Of How Don Quixote and Sancho Panza were Treated in the Inn After Being Beaten by the Yanguesans]
-
Description
-
After being beaten by a group of ruthless Yanguesans (people that come from Yanguas, a municipality in the province of Soria, Castile and León), Don Quixote and Sancho Panza arrive at an inn to seek hospitality. The innkeeper, seeing the bruises upon Quixote's body enquires as to what has transpired, Sancho Panza lies that the bruises came about after falling off of a horse and landing upon a misshapen rock. The innkeeper's wife (the rightmost of the three women), a servant of the inn named Maritornes who held a candle for seeing (leftmost of the three women), and the innkeeper's daughter (middle of the three women) made Quixote a sorry bed of four wooden boards in the horse loft and a flock bed no thicker than a quilt. In this wretched bed was Don Quixote laid and the innkeeper and her daughter set to work wiping his bruises with wet cloths. Sancho Panza notes that although he himself has not been beaten to the same degree as his master, the fright alone has made him bruised, feeling his arm to check said bruises.
