Description
-
Having been beaten by the carriers in the meadow, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza take refuge in an inn which Quixote mistakes for a castle. Once Quixote has regained his health he seeks to repay his debt to innkeeper by paying revenge to any of the innkeeper's enemies. The innkeeper tells Quixote that this is an inn, not a castle, and that he must pay for his lodgings, but Don Quixote refuses to pay, lest he break the "laws of knight-errantry" and rides off. None impeded Quixote, but the Innkeeper set after Sancho Panza immediately, who was still in a feeble state after having been beaten by the carriers. Nonetheless, Sancho Panza copied his master and refused to pay for he would rather die than part with his money and dishonor his master. Unfortunately for Sancho Panza , there happened to be in the inn four Segovia clothiers, three Cordoua point-makers, and two Seville hucksters who pulled Sancho Panza from his donkey to the backyard of the inn while one of them fetched a blanket. These fellows put Sancho into the blanket and proceeded to toss him many feet into the air multiple times. Sancho made such an outcry upon being tossed that his master heard his wails and returned to see what the fuss was about.
