Geographic: Spain; Europe; Barcelona
Description: In the house of Don Antonio, his wife had invited many of her friends to a ball to honor their guest Don Quixote. The dancing began at ten o'clock at night, and two of the women present at the ball made their entertainment by dancing with Quixote one after the other until he could not longer stand, both his body and soul having been exhausted. Antonio (pictured to the left of Sancho Panza) gave order that Quixote should be carried to bed, and the first to lend a hand was Sancho Panza (pictured to the left of Quixote).
