Period: 1850-1900;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: As Don Quixote makes ready to leave the inn, the innkeeper asks him to pay for the night he spent in the inn: straw and feed for Rocinante and Sancho Panza’s donkey, and their supper and beds. Don Quixote refuses, asking the innkeeper to forgive the debt. He cannot contravene the order of knights errant, who he believes never pay for their room and board because whatever welcome they receive is owed to them as their right and privilege in return for the hardships they suffer in the course of their adventures. Signed by G. Doré (illustrator) and H.-J. Pisan (engraver). Part 1, ch. 17.
