Description: The barber and the priest contrive a plot to bring Don Quixote back to his home in La Mancha by putting him in a cage and bringing him back to his home under the pretense of putting him under an enchantment and reuniting with Dulcinea. Quixote accepts the enchantment and enters the cage willingly. Sancho Panza, skeptical of the reality of the enchantment mounts his donkey and warns his master that he is not enchanted, but Quixote does not listen. As the cart sets in motion the Landlady, her daughter and other guests of the inn rush out to bid Don Quixote farewell, pretending to weep at his departure.
