+<h3>Ebook Editor's Note</h3>
+</center>
+
+<p>The book cover and spine above and the images which follow were not part of the original Ormsby
+translation&mdash;they are taken from the 1880 edition of J. W. Clark, illustrated by
+Gustave Dore. Clark in his edition states that, "The English text of 'Don Quixote'
+adopted in this edition is that of Jarvis, with occasional corrections from Motteaux."
+See in the introduction below John Ormsby's critique of
+both the Jarvis and Motteaux translations. It has been elected in the present Project Gutenberg edition
+to attach the famous engravings of Gustave Dore to the Ormsby translation instead
+of the Jarvis/Motteaux. The detail of many of the Dore engravings can be fully appreciated only
+by utilizing the "Enlarge" button to expand them to their original dimensions. Ormsby
+in his Preface has criticized the fanciful nature of Dore's illustrations; others feel
+these woodcuts and steel engravings well match Quixote's dreams.

+
+<p>Seeing himself served in this way, Don Quixote said to his squire,
+"I have always heard it said, Sancho, that to do good to boors is to
+throw water into the sea. If I had believed thy words, I should have
+avoided this trouble; but it is done now, it is only to have
+patience and take warning for the future."</p>

+<br><br><br><br>
+
+<p>"Your worship will take warning as much as I am a Turk," returned
+Sancho; "but, as you say this mischief might have been avoided if
+you had believed me, believe me now, and a still greater one will be
+avoided; for I tell you chivalry is of no account with the Holy
+Brotherhood, and they don't care two maravedis for all the
+knights-errant in the world; and I can tell you I fancy I hear their
+arrows whistling past my ears this minute."</p>
+
+<p>"Thou art a coward by nature, Sancho," said Don Quixote, "but lest
+thou shouldst say I am obstinate, and that I never do as thou dost
+advise, this once I will take thy advice, and withdraw out of reach of
+that fury thou so dreadest; but it must be on one condition, that
+never, in life or in death, thou art to say to anyone that I retired
+or withdrew from this danger out of fear, but only in compliance
+with thy entreaties; for if thou sayest otherwise thou wilt lie
+therein, and from this time to that, and from that to this, I give
+thee lie, and say thou liest and wilt lie every time thou thinkest
+or sayest it; and answer me not again; for at the mere thought that
+I am withdrawing or retiring from any danger, above all from this,
+which does seem to carry some little shadow of fear with it, I am
+ready to take my stand here and await alone, not only that Holy
+Brotherhood you talk of and dread, but the brothers of the twelve
+tribes of Israel, and the Seven Maccabees, and Castor and Pollux,
+and all the brothers and brotherhoods in the world."</p>
+
+<p>"Senor," replied Sancho, "to retire is not to flee, and there is
+no wisdom in waiting when danger outweighs hope, and it is the part of
+wise men to preserve themselves to-day for to-morrow, and not risk all
+in one day; and let me tell you, though I am a clown and a boor, I
+have got some notion of what they call safe conduct; so repent not
+of having taken my advice, but mount Rocinante if you can, and if
+not I will help you; and follow me, for my mother-wit tells me we have
+more need of legs than hands just now."</p>
+
+<p>Don Quixote mounted without replying, and, Sancho leading the way on
+his ass, they entered the side of the Sierra Morena, which was close
+by, as it was Sancho's design to cross it entirely and come out
+again at El Viso or Almodovar del Campo, and hide for some days
+among its crags so as to escape the search of the Brotherhood should
+they come to look for them. He was encouraged in this by perceiving
+that the stock of provisions carried by the ass had come safe out of
+the fray with the galley slaves, a circumstance that he regarded as
+a miracle, seeing how they pillaged and ransacked.</p>

+<br><br><br><br>
+
+<p>That night they reached the very heart of the Sierra Morena, where
+it seemed prudent to Sancho to pass the night and even some days, at
+least as many as the stores he carried might last, and so they
+encamped between two rocks and among some cork trees; but fatal
+destiny, which, according to the opinion of those who have not the
+light of the true faith, directs, arranges, and settles everything
+in its own way, so ordered it that Gines de Pasamonte, the famous
+knave and thief who by the virtue and madness of Don Quixote had
+been released from the chain, driven by fear of the Holy
+Brotherhood, which he had good reason to dread, resolved to take
+hiding in the mountains; and his fate and fear led him to the same
+spot to which Don Quixote and Sancho Panza had been led by theirs,
+just in time to recognise them and leave them to fall asleep: and as
+the wicked are always ungrateful, and necessity leads to evildoing,
+and immediate advantage overcomes all considerations of the future,
+Gines, who was neither grateful nor well-principled, made up his
+mind to steal Sancho Panza's ass, not troubling himself about
+Rocinante, as being a prize that was no good either to pledge or sell.
+While Sancho slept he stole his ass, and before day dawned he was
+far out of reach.</p>

+
+
+<p>Aurora made her appearance bringing gladness to the earth but
+sadness to Sancho Panza, for he found that his Dapple was missing, and
+seeing himself bereft of him he began the saddest and most doleful
+lament in the world, so loud that Don Quixote awoke at his
+exclamations and heard him saying, "O son of my bowels, born in my
+very house, my children's plaything, my wife's joy, the envy of my
+neighbours, relief of my burdens, and lastly, half supporter of
+myself, for with the six-and-twenty maravedis thou didst earn me daily
+I met half my charges."</p>
+
+<p>Don Quixote, when he heard the lament and learned the cause,
+consoled Sancho with the best arguments he could, entreating him to be
+patient, and promising to give him a letter of exchange ordering three
+out of five ass-colts that he had at home to be given to him. Sancho
+took comfort at this, dried his tears, suppressed his sobs, and
+returned thanks for the kindness shown him by Don Quixote. He on his
+part was rejoiced to the heart on entering the mountains, as they
+seemed to him to be just the place for the adventures he was in
+quest of. They brought back to his memory the marvellous adventures
+that had befallen knights-errant in like solitudes and wilds, and he
+went along reflecting on these things, so absorbed and carried away by
+them that he had no thought for anything else.</p>

+
+<p>Nor had Sancho any
+other care (now that he fancied he was travelling in a safe quarter)
+than to satisfy his appetite with such remains as were left of the
+clerical spoils, and so he marched behind his master laden with what
+Dapple used to carry, emptying the sack and packing his paunch, and so
+long as he could go that way, he would not have given a farthing to
+meet with another adventure.</p>
+
+<p>While so engaged he raised his eyes and saw that his master had
+halted, and was trying with the point of his pike to lift some bulky
+object that lay upon the ground, on which he hastened to join him
+and help him if it were needful, and reached him just as with the
+point of the pike he was raising a saddle-pad with a valise attached
+to it, half or rather wholly rotten and torn; but so heavy were they
+that Sancho had to help to take them up, and his master directed him
+to see what the valise contained. Sancho did so with great alacrity,
+and though the valise was secured by a chain and padlock, from its
+torn and rotten condition he was able to see its contents, which
+were four shirts of fine holland, and other articles of linen no
+less curious than clean; and in a handkerchief he found a good lot
+of gold crowns, and as soon as he saw them he exclaimed:</p>
+
+<p>"Blessed be all Heaven for sending us an adventure that is good
+for something!"</p>
+
+<p>Searching further he found a little memorandum book richly bound;
+this Don Quixote asked of him, telling him to take the money and
+keep it for himself. Sancho kissed his hands for the favour, and
+cleared the valise of its linen, which he stowed away in the provision
+sack. Considering the whole matter, Don Quixote observed:</p>
+
+<p>"It seems to me, Sancho&mdash;and it is impossible it can be
+otherwise&mdash;that some strayed traveller must have crossed this sierra and been
+attacked and slain by footpads, who brought him to this remote spot to
+bury him."</p>
+
+<p>"That cannot be," answered Sancho, "because if they had been robbers
+they would not have left this money."</p>
+
+<p>"Thou art right," said Don Quixote, "and I cannot guess or explain
+what this may mean; but stay; let us see if in this memorandum book
+there is anything written by which we may be able to trace out or
+discover what we want to know."</p>
+
+<p>He opened it, and the first thing he found in it, written roughly
+but in a very good hand, was a sonnet, and reading it aloud that
+Sancho might hear it, he found that it ran as follows:</p>
+
+<blockquote><blockquote>
+<pre>
+SONNET
+
+Or Love is lacking in intelligence,
+ Or to the height of cruelty attains,
+ Or else it is my doom to suffer pains
+Beyond the measure due to my offence.
+But if Love be a God, it follows thence
+ That he knows all, and certain it remains
+ No God loves cruelty; then who ordains
+This penance that enthrals while it torments?
+It were a falsehood, Chloe, thee to name;
+ Such evil with such goodness cannot live;
+And against Heaven I dare not charge the blame,
+ I only know it is my fate to die.
+ To him who knows not whence his malady
+ A miracle alone a cure can give.</pre>
+</blockquote></blockquote>

+
+<p>
+"There is nothing to be learned from that rhyme," said Sancho,
+"unless by that clue there's in it, one may draw out the ball of the
+whole matter."</p>
+
+<p>"What clue is there?" said Don Quixote.</p>
+
+<p>"I thought your worship spoke of a clue in it," said Sancho.</p>
+
+<p>"I only said Chloe," replied Don Quixote; "and that no doubt, is the
+name of the lady of whom the author of the sonnet complains; and,
+faith, he must be a tolerable poet, or I know little of the craft."</p>
+
+<p>"Then your worship understands rhyming too?"</p>
+
+<p>"And better than thou thinkest," replied Don Quixote, "as thou shalt
+see when thou carriest a letter written in verse from beginning to end
+to my lady Dulcinea del Toboso, for I would have thee know, Sancho,
+that all or most of the knights-errant in days of yore were great
+troubadours and great musicians, for both of these accomplishments, or
+more properly speaking gifts, are the peculiar property of
+lovers-errant: true it is that the verses of the knights of old have
+more spirit than neatness in them."</p>
+
+<p>"Read more, your worship," said Sancho, "and you will find something
+that will enlighten us."</p>
+
+<p>Don Quixote turned the page and said, "This is prose and seems to be
+a letter."</p>
+
+<p>"A correspondence letter, senor?"</p>
+
+<p>"From the beginning it seems to be a love letter," replied Don
+Quixote.</p>
+
+<p>"Then let your worship read it aloud," said Sancho, "for I am very
+fond of love matters."</p>
+
+<p>"With all my heart," said Don Quixote, and reading it aloud as
+Sancho had requested him, he found it ran thus:</p>
+
+<p>
+Thy false promise and my sure misfortune carry me to a place
+whence the news of my death will reach thy ears before the words of my
+complaint. Ungrateful one, thou hast rejected me for one more wealthy,
+but not more worthy; but if virtue were esteemed wealth I should
+neither envy the fortunes of others nor weep for misfortunes of my
+own. What thy beauty raised up thy deeds have laid low; by it I
+believed thee to be an angel, by them I know thou art a woman. Peace
+be with thee who hast sent war to me, and Heaven grant that the deceit
+of thy husband be ever hidden from thee, so that thou repent not of
+what thou hast done, and I reap not a revenge I would not have.</p>
+
+<p>When he had finished the letter, Don Quixote said, "There is less to
+be gathered from this than from the verses, except that he who wrote
+it is some rejected lover;" and turning over nearly all the pages of
+the book he found more verses and letters, some of which he could
+read, while others he could not; but they were all made up of
+complaints, laments, misgivings, desires and aversions, favours and
+rejections, some rapturous, some doleful. While Don Quixote examined
+the book, Sancho examined the valise, not leaving a corner in the
+whole of it or in the pad that he did not search, peer into, and
+explore, or seam that he did not rip, or tuft of wool that he did
+not pick to pieces, lest anything should escape for want of care and
+pains; so keen was the covetousness excited in him by the discovery of
+the crowns, which amounted to near a hundred; and though he found no
+more booty, he held the blanket flights, balsam vomits, stake
+benedictions, carriers' fisticuffs, missing alforjas, stolen coat, and
+all the hunger, thirst, and weariness he had endured in the service of
+his good master, cheap at the price; as he considered himself more
+than fully indemnified for all by the payment he received in the
+gift of the treasure-trove.</p>
+
+<p>The Knight of the Rueful Countenance was still very anxious to
+find out who the owner of the valise could be, conjecturing from the
+sonnet and letter, from the money in gold, and from the fineness of
+the shirts, that he must be some lover of distinction whom the scorn
+and cruelty of his lady had driven to some desperate course; but as in
+that uninhabited and rugged spot there was no one to be seen of whom
+he could inquire, he saw nothing else for it but to push on, taking
+whatever road Rocinante chose&mdash;which was where he could make his
+way&mdash;firmly persuaded that among these wilds he could not fail to meet
+some rare adventure. As he went along, then, occupied with these
+thoughts, he perceived on the summit of a height that rose before
+their eyes a man who went springing from rock to rock and from tussock
+to tussock with marvellous agility. As well as he could make out he
+was unclad, with a thick black beard, long tangled hair, and bare legs
+and feet, his thighs were covered by breeches apparently of tawny
+velvet but so ragged that they showed his skin in several places.</p>
+

+<br><br><br><br>
+
+<p>He was bareheaded, and notwithstanding the swiftness with which he passed
+as has been described, the Knight of the Rueful Countenance observed
+and noted all these trifles, and though he made the attempt, he was
+unable to follow him, for it was not granted to the feebleness of
+Rocinante to make way over such rough ground, he being, moreover,
+slow-paced and sluggish by nature. Don Quixote at once came to the
+conclusion that this was the owner of the saddle-pad and of the
+valise, and made up his mind to go in search of him, even though he
+should have to wander a year in those mountains before he found him,
+and so he directed Sancho to take a short cut over one side of the
+mountain, while he himself went by the other, and perhaps by this
+means they might light upon this man who had passed so quickly out
+of their sight.</p>
+
+<p>"I could not do that," said Sancho, "for when I separate from your
+worship fear at once lays hold of me, and assails me with all sorts of
+panics and fancies; and let what I now say be a notice that from
+this time forth I am not going to stir a finger's width from your
+presence."</p>
+
+<p>"It shall be so," said he of the Rueful Countenance, "and I am
+very glad that thou art willing to rely on my courage, which will
+never fail thee, even though the soul in thy body fail thee; so come
+on now behind me slowly as well as thou canst, and make lanterns of
+thine eyes; let us make the circuit of this ridge; perhaps we shall
+light upon this man that we saw, who no doubt is no other than the
+owner of what we found."</p>
+
+<p>To which Sancho made answer, "Far better would it be not to look for
+him, for, if we find him, and he happens to be the owner of the money,
+it is plain I must restore it; it would be better, therefore, that
+without taking this needless trouble, I should keep possession of it
+until in some other less meddlesome and officious way the real owner
+may be discovered; and perhaps that will be when I shall have spent
+it, and then the king will hold me harmless."</p>
+
+<p>"Thou art wrong there, Sancho," said Don Quixote, "for now that we
+have a suspicion who the owner is, and have him almost before us, we
+are bound to seek him and make restitution; and if we do not see
+him, the strong suspicion we have as to his being the owner makes us
+as guilty as if he were so; and so, friend Sancho, let not our
+search for him give thee any uneasiness, for if we find him it will
+relieve mine."</p>
+
+<p>And so saying he gave Rocinante the spur, and Sancho followed him on
+foot and loaded, and after having partly made the circuit of the
+mountain they found lying in a ravine, dead and half devoured by
+dogs and pecked by jackdaws, a mule saddled and bridled, all which
+still further strengthened their suspicion that he who had fled was
+the owner of the mule and the saddle-pad.</p>

+
+<p>As they stood looking at it they heard a whistle like that of a
+shepherd watching his flock, and suddenly on their left there appeared
+a great number of goats and behind them on the summit of the
+mountain the goatherd in charge of them, a man advanced in years.
+Don Quixote called aloud to him and begged him to come down to where
+they stood. He shouted in return, asking what had brought them to that
+spot, seldom or never trodden except by the feet of goats, or of the
+wolves and other wild beasts that roamed around. Sancho in return bade
+him come down, and they would explain all to him.</p>
+
+<p>The goatherd descended, and reaching the place where Don Quixote
+stood, he said, "I will wager you are looking at that hack mule that
+lies dead in the hollow there, and, faith, it has been lying there now
+these six months; tell me, have you come upon its master about here?"</p>
+
+<p>"We have come upon nobody," answered Don Quixote, "nor on anything
+except a saddle-pad and a little valise that we found not far from
+this."</p>
+
+<p>"I found it too," said the goatherd, "but I would not lift it nor go
+near it for fear of some ill-luck or being charged with theft, for the
+devil is crafty, and things rise up under one's feet to make one
+fall without knowing why or wherefore."</p>
+
+<p>"That's exactly what I say," said Sancho; "I found it too, and I
+would not go within a stone's throw of it; there I left it, and
+there it lies just as it was, for I don't want a dog with a bell."</p>
+
+<p>"Tell me, good man," said Don Quixote, "do you know who is the owner
+of this property?"</p>
+
+<p>"All I can tell you," said the goatherd, "is that about six months
+ago, more or less, there arrived at a shepherd's hut three leagues,
+perhaps, away from this, a youth of well-bred appearance and
+manners, mounted on that same mule which lies dead here, and with
+the same saddle-pad and valise which you say you found and did not
+touch. He asked us what part of this sierra was the most rugged and
+retired; we told him that it was where we now are; and so in truth
+it is, for if you push on half a league farther, perhaps you will
+not be able to find your way out; and I am wondering how you have
+managed to come here, for there is no road or path that leads to
+this spot. I say, then, that on hearing our answer the youth turned
+about and made for the place we pointed out to him, leaving us all
+charmed with his good looks, and wondering at his question and the
+haste with which we saw him depart in the direction of the sierra; and
+after that we saw him no more, until some days afterwards he crossed
+the path of one of our shepherds, and without saying a word to him,
+came up to him and gave him several cuffs and kicks, and then turned
+to the ass with our provisions and took all the bread and cheese it
+carried, and having done this made off back again into the sierra with
+extraordinary swiftness. When some of us goatherds learned this we
+went in search of him for about two days through the most remote
+portion of this sierra, at the end of which we found him lodged in the
+hollow of a large thick cork tree. He came out to meet us with great
+gentleness, with his dress now torn and his face so disfigured and
+burned by the sun, that we hardly recognised him but that his clothes,
+though torn, convinced us, from the recollection we had of them,
+that he was the person we were looking for. He saluted us courteously,
+and in a few well-spoken words he told us not to wonder at seeing
+him going about in this guise, as it was binding upon him in order
+that he might work out a penance which for his many sins had been
+imposed upon him. We asked him to tell us who he was, but we were
+never able to find out from him: we begged of him too, when he was
+in want of food, which he could not do without, to tell us where we
+should find him, as we would bring it to him with all good-will and
+readiness; or if this were not to his taste, at least to come and
+ask it of us and not take it by force from the shepherds. He thanked
+us for the offer, begged pardon for the late assault, and promised for
+the future to ask it in God's name without offering violence to
+anybody. As for fixed abode, he said he had no other than that which
+chance offered wherever night might overtake him; and his words
+ended in an outburst of weeping so bitter that we who listened to
+him must have been very stones had we not joined him in it,
+comparing what we saw of him the first time with what we saw now; for,
+as I said, he was a graceful and gracious youth, and in his
+courteous and polished language showed himself to be of good birth and
+courtly breeding, and rustics as we were that listened to him, even to
+our rusticity his gentle bearing sufficed to make it plain.</p>
+
+<p>"But in the midst of his conversation he stopped and became
+silent, keeping his eyes fixed upon the ground for some time, during
+which we stood still waiting anxiously to see what would come of
+this abstraction; and with no little pity, for from his behaviour, now
+staring at the ground with fixed gaze and eyes wide open without
+moving an eyelid, again closing them, compressing his lips and raising
+his eyebrows, we could perceive plainly that a fit of madness of
+some kind had come upon him; and before long he showed that what we
+imagined was the truth, for he arose in a fury from the ground where
+he had thrown himself, and attacked the first he found near him with
+such rage and fierceness that if we had not dragged him off him, he
+would have beaten or bitten him to death, all the while exclaiming,
+'Oh faithless Fernando, here, here shalt thou pay the penalty of the
+wrong thou hast done me; these hands shall tear out that heart of
+thine, abode and dwelling of all iniquity, but of deceit and fraud
+above all; and to these he added other words all in effect
+upbraiding this Fernando and charging him with treachery and
+faithlessness.</p>
+
+<p>"We forced him to release his hold with no little difficulty, and
+without another word he left us, and rushing off plunged in among
+these brakes and brambles, so as to make it impossible for us to
+follow him; from this we suppose that madness comes upon him from time
+to time, and that some one called Fernando must have done him a
+wrong of a grievous nature such as the condition to which it had
+brought him seemed to show. All this has been since then confirmed
+on those occasions, and they have been many, on which he has crossed
+our path, at one time to beg the shepherds to give him some of the
+food they carry, at another to take it from them by force; for when
+there is a fit of madness upon him, even though the shepherds offer it
+freely, he will not accept it but snatches it from them by dint of
+blows; but when he is in his senses he begs it for the love of God,
+courteously and civilly, and receives it with many thanks and not a
+few tears. And to tell you the truth, sirs," continued the goatherd,
+"it was yesterday that we resolved, I and four of the lads, two of
+them our servants, and the other two friends of mine, to go in
+search of him until we find him, and when we do to take him, whether
+by force or of his own consent, to the town of Almodovar, which is
+eight leagues from this, and there strive to cure him (if indeed his
+malady admits of a cure), or learn when he is in his senses who he is,
+and if he has relatives to whom we may give notice of his
+misfortune. This, sirs, is all I can say in answer to what you have
+asked me; and be sure that the owner of the articles you found is he
+whom you saw pass by with such nimbleness and so naked."</p>
+
+<p>For Don Quixote had already described how he had seen the man go
+bounding along the mountain side, and he was now filled with amazement
+at what he heard from the goatherd, and more eager than ever to
+discover who the unhappy madman was; and in his heart he resolved,
+as he had done before, to search for him all over the mountain, not
+leaving a corner or cave unexamined until he had found him. But chance
+arranged matters better than he expected or hoped, for at that very
+moment, in a gorge on the mountain that opened where they stood, the
+youth he wished to find made his appearance, coming along talking to
+himself in a way that would have been unintelligible near at hand,
+much more at a distance. His garb was what has been described, save
+that as he drew near, Don Quixote perceived that a tattered doublet
+which he wore was amber-tanned, from which he concluded that one who
+wore such garments could not be of very low rank.</p>
+
+<p>Approaching them, the youth greeted them in a harsh and hoarse voice
+but with great courtesy. Don Quixote returned his salutation with
+equal politeness, and dismounting from Rocinante advanced with
+well-bred bearing and grace to embrace him, and held him for some time
+close in his arms as if he had known him for a long time. The other,
+whom we may call the Ragged One of the Sorry Countenance, as Don
+Quixote was of the Rueful, after submitting to the embrace pushed
+him back a little and, placing his hands on Don Quixote's shoulders,
+stood gazing at him as if seeking to see whether he knew him, not less
+amazed, perhaps, at the sight of the face, figure, and armour of Don
+Quixote than Don Quixote was at the sight of him. To be brief, the
+first to speak after embracing was the Ragged One, and he said what
+will be told farther on.</p>

+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+CHAPTER XXIII.
+
+OF WHAT BEFELL DON QUIXOTE IN THE SIERRA MORENA, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE
+RAREST ADVENTURES RELATED IN THIS VERACIOUS HISTORY
+
+
+Seeing himself served in this way, Don Quixote said to his squire, "I
+have always heard it said, Sancho, that to do good to boors is to throw
+water into the sea. If I had believed thy words, I should have avoided
+this trouble; but it is done now, it is only to have patience and take
+warning for the future."
+
+"Your worship will take warning as much as I am a Turk," returned Sancho;
+"but, as you say this mischief might have been avoided if you had
+believed me, believe me now, and a still greater one will be avoided; for
+I tell you chivalry is of no account with the Holy Brotherhood, and they
+don't care two maravedis for all the knights-errant in the world; and I
+can tell you I fancy I hear their arrows whistling past my ears this
+minute."
+
+"Thou art a coward by nature, Sancho," said Don Quixote, "but lest thou
+shouldst say I am obstinate, and that I never do as thou dost advise,
+this once I will take thy advice, and withdraw out of reach of that fury
+thou so dreadest; but it must be on one condition, that never, in life or
+in death, thou art to say to anyone that I retired or withdrew from this
+danger out of fear, but only in compliance with thy entreaties; for if
+thou sayest otherwise thou wilt lie therein, and from this time to that,
+and from that to this, I give thee lie, and say thou liest and wilt lie
+every time thou thinkest or sayest it; and answer me not again; for at
+the mere thought that I am withdrawing or retiring from any danger, above
+all from this, which does seem to carry some little shadow of fear with
+it, I am ready to take my stand here and await alone, not only that Holy
+Brotherhood you talk of and dread, but the brothers of the twelve tribes
+of Israel, and the Seven Maccabees, and Castor and Pollux, and all the
+brothers and brotherhoods in the world."
+
+"Senor," replied Sancho, "to retire is not to flee, and there is no
+wisdom in waiting when danger outweighs hope, and it is the part of wise
+men to preserve themselves to-day for to-morrow, and not risk all in one
+day; and let me tell you, though I am a clown and a boor, I have got some
+notion of what they call safe conduct; so repent not of having taken my
+advice, but mount Rocinante if you can, and if not I will help you; and
+follow me, for my mother-wit tells me we have more need of legs than
+hands just now."
+
+Don Quixote mounted without replying, and, Sancho leading the way on his
+ass, they entered the side of the Sierra Morena, which was close by, as
+it was Sancho's design to cross it entirely and come out again at El Viso
+or Almodovar del Campo, and hide for some days among its crags so as to
+escape the search of the Brotherhood should they come to look for them.
+He was encouraged in this by perceiving that the stock of provisions
+carried by the ass had come safe out of the fray with the galley slaves,
+a circumstance that he regarded as a miracle, seeing how they pillaged
+and ransacked.
+
+That night they reached the very heart of the Sierra Morena, where it
+seemed prudent to Sancho to pass the night and even some days, at least
+as many as the stores he carried might last, and so they encamped between
+two rocks and among some cork trees; but fatal destiny, which, according
+to the opinion of those who have not the light of the true faith,
+directs, arranges, and settles everything in its own way, so ordered it
+that Gines de Pasamonte, the famous knave and thief who by the virtue and
+madness of Don Quixote had been released from the chain, driven by fear
+of the Holy Brotherhood, which he had good reason to dread, resolved to
+take hiding in the mountains; and his fate and fear led him to the same
+spot to which Don Quixote and Sancho Panza had been led by theirs, just
+in time to recognise them and leave them to fall asleep: and as the
+wicked are always ungrateful, and necessity leads to evildoing, and
+immediate advantage overcomes all considerations of the future, Gines,
+who was neither grateful nor well-principled, made up his mind to steal
+Sancho Panza's ass, not troubling himself about Rocinante, as being a
+prize that was no good either to pledge or sell. While Sancho slept he
+stole his ass, and before day dawned he was far out of reach.
+
+Aurora made her appearance bringing gladness to the earth but sadness to
+Sancho Panza, for he found that his Dapple was missing, and seeing
+himself bereft of him he began the saddest and most doleful lament in the
+world, so loud that Don Quixote awoke at his exclamations and heard him
+saying, "O son of my bowels, born in my very house, my children's
+plaything, my wife's joy, the envy of my neighbours, relief of my
+burdens, and lastly, half supporter of myself, for with the
+six-and-twenty maravedis thou didst earn me daily I met half my charges."
+
+Don Quixote, when he heard the lament and learned the cause, consoled
+Sancho with the best arguments he could, entreating him to be patient,
+and promising to give him a letter of exchange ordering three out of five
+ass-colts that he had at home to be given to him. Sancho took comfort at
+this, dried his tears, suppressed his sobs, and returned thanks for the
+kindness shown him by Don Quixote. He on his part was rejoiced to the
+heart on entering the mountains, as they seemed to him to be just the
+place for the adventures he was in quest of. They brought back to his
+memory the marvellous adventures that had befallen knights-errant in like
+solitudes and wilds, and he went along reflecting on these things, so
+absorbed and carried away by them that he had no thought for anything
+else.
+
+Nor had Sancho any other care (now that he fancied he was travelling in a
+safe quarter) than to satisfy his appetite with such remains as were left
+of the clerical spoils, and so he marched behind his master laden with
+what Dapple used to carry, emptying the sack and packing his paunch, and
+so long as he could go that way, he would not have given a farthing to
+meet with another adventure.
+
+While so engaged he raised his eyes and saw that his master had halted,
+and was trying with the point of his pike to lift some bulky object that
+lay upon the ground, on which he hastened to join him and help him if it
+were needful, and reached him just as with the point of the pike he was
+raising a saddle-pad with a valise attached to it, half or rather wholly
+rotten and torn; but so heavy were they that Sancho had to help to take
+them up, and his master directed him to see what the valise contained.
+Sancho did so with great alacrity, and though the valise was secured by a
+chain and padlock, from its torn and rotten condition he was able to see
+its contents, which were four shirts of fine holland, and other articles
+of linen no less curious than clean; and in a handkerchief he found a
+good lot of gold crowns, and as soon as he saw them he exclaimed:
+
+"Blessed be all Heaven for sending us an adventure that is good for
+something!"
+
+Searching further he found a little memorandum book richly bound; this
+Don Quixote asked of him, telling him to take the money and keep it for
+himself. Sancho kissed his hands for the favour, and cleared the valise
+of its linen, which he stowed away in the provision sack. Considering the
+whole matter, Don Quixote observed:
+
+"It seems to me, Sancho--and it is impossible it can be otherwise-that
+some strayed traveller must have crossed this sierra and been attacked
+and slain by footpads, who brought him to this remote spot to bury him."
+
+"That cannot be," answered Sancho, "because if they had been robbers they
+would not have left this money."
+
+"Thou art right," said Don Quixote, "and I cannot guess or explain what
+this may mean; but stay; let us see if in this memorandum book there is
+anything written by which we may be able to trace out or discover what we
+want to know."
+
+He opened it, and the first thing he found in it, written roughly but in
+a very good hand, was a sonnet, and reading it aloud that Sancho might
+hear it, he found that it ran as follows:
+
+SONNET
+
+Or Love is lacking in intelligence,
+ Or to the height of cruelty attains,
+ Or else it is my doom to suffer pains
+Beyond the measure due to my offence.
+But if Love be a God, it follows thence
+ That he knows all, and certain it remains
+ No God loves cruelty; then who ordains
+This penance that enthrals while it torments?
+It were a falsehood, Chloe, thee to name;
+ Such evil with such goodness cannot live;
+And against Heaven I dare not charge the blame,
+ I only know it is my fate to die.
+ To him who knows not whence his malady
+ A miracle alone a cure can give.
+
+"There is nothing to be learned from that rhyme," said Sancho, "unless by
+that clue there's in it, one may draw out the ball of the whole matter."
+
+"What clue is there?" said Don Quixote.
+
+"I thought your worship spoke of a clue in it," said Sancho.
+
+"I only said Chloe," replied Don Quixote; "and that no doubt, is the name
+of the lady of whom the author of the sonnet complains; and, faith, he
+must be a tolerable poet, or I know little of the craft."
+
+"Then your worship understands rhyming too?"
+
+"And better than thou thinkest," replied Don Quixote, "as thou shalt see
+when thou carriest a letter written in verse from beginning to end to my
+lady Dulcinea del Toboso, for I would have thee know, Sancho, that all or
+most of the knights-errant in days of yore were great troubadours and
+great musicians, for both of these accomplishments, or more properly
+speaking gifts, are the peculiar property of lovers-errant: true it is
+that the verses of the knights of old have more spirit than neatness in
+them."
+
+"Read more, your worship," said Sancho, "and you will find something that
+will enlighten us."
+
+Don Quixote turned the page and said, "This is prose and seems to be a
+letter."
+
+"A correspondence letter, senor?"
+
+"From the beginning it seems to be a love letter," replied Don Quixote.
+
+"Then let your worship read it aloud," said Sancho, "for I am very fond
+of love matters."
+
+"With all my heart," said Don Quixote, and reading it aloud as Sancho had
+requested him, he found it ran thus:
+
+Thy false promise and my sure misfortune carry me to a place whence the
+news of my death will reach thy ears before the words of my complaint.
+Ungrateful one, thou hast rejected me for one more wealthy, but not more
+worthy; but if virtue were esteemed wealth I should neither envy the
+fortunes of others nor weep for misfortunes of my own. What thy beauty
+raised up thy deeds have laid low; by it I believed thee to be an angel,
+by them I know thou art a woman. Peace be with thee who hast sent war to
+me, and Heaven grant that the deceit of thy husband be ever hidden from
+thee, so that thou repent not of what thou hast done, and I reap not a
+revenge I would not have.
+
+When he had finished the letter, Don Quixote said, "There is less to be
+gathered from this than from the verses, except that he who wrote it is
+some rejected lover;" and turning over nearly all the pages of the book
+he found more verses and letters, some of which he could read, while
+others he could not; but they were all made up of complaints, laments,
+misgivings, desires and aversions, favours and rejections, some
+rapturous, some doleful. While Don Quixote examined the book, Sancho
+examined the valise, not leaving a corner in the whole of it or in the
+pad that he did not search, peer into, and explore, or seam that he did
+not rip, or tuft of wool that he did not pick to pieces, lest anything
+should escape for want of care and pains; so keen was the covetousness
+excited in him by the discovery of the crowns, which amounted to near a
+hundred; and though he found no more booty, he held the blanket flights,
+balsam vomits, stake benedictions, carriers' fisticuffs, missing
+alforjas, stolen coat, and all the hunger, thirst, and weariness he had
+endured in the service of his good master, cheap at the price; as he
+considered himself more than fully indemnified for all by the payment he
+received in the gift of the treasure-trove.
+
+The Knight of the Rueful Countenance was still very anxious to find out
+who the owner of the valise could be, conjecturing from the sonnet and
+letter, from the money in gold, and from the fineness of the shirts, that
+he must be some lover of distinction whom the scorn and cruelty of his
+lady had driven to some desperate course; but as in that uninhabited and
+rugged spot there was no one to be seen of whom he could inquire, he saw
+nothing else for it but to push on, taking whatever road Rocinante
+chose--which was where he could make his way--firmly persuaded that among
+these wilds he could not fail to meet some rare adventure. As he went
+along, then, occupied with these thoughts, he perceived on the summit of
+a height that rose before their eyes a man who went springing from rock
+to rock and from tussock to tussock with marvellous agility. As well as
+he could make out he was unclad, with a thick black beard, long tangled
+hair, and bare legs and feet, his thighs were covered by breeches
+apparently of tawny velvet but so ragged that they showed his skin in
+several places.
+
+He was bareheaded, and notwithstanding the swiftness with which he passed
+as has been described, the Knight of the Rueful Countenance observed and
+noted all these trifles, and though he made the attempt, he was unable to
+follow him, for it was not granted to the feebleness of Rocinante to make
+way over such rough ground, he being, moreover, slow-paced and sluggish
+by nature. Don Quixote at once came to the conclusion that this was the
+owner of the saddle-pad and of the valise, and made up his mind to go in
+search of him, even though he should have to wander a year in those
+mountains before he found him, and so he directed Sancho to take a short
+cut over one side of the mountain, while he himself went by the other,
+and perhaps by this means they might light upon this man who had passed
+so quickly out of their sight.
+
+"I could not do that," said Sancho, "for when I separate from your
+worship fear at once lays hold of me, and assails me with all sorts of
+panics and fancies; and let what I now say be a notice that from this
+time forth I am not going to stir a finger's width from your presence."
+
+"It shall be so," said he of the Rueful Countenance, "and I am very glad
+that thou art willing to rely on my courage, which will never fail thee,
+even though the soul in thy body fail thee; so come on now behind me
+slowly as well as thou canst, and make lanterns of thine eyes; let us
+make the circuit of this ridge; perhaps we shall light upon this man that
+we saw, who no doubt is no other than the owner of what we found."
+
+To which Sancho made answer, "Far better would it be not to look for him,
+for, if we find him, and he happens to be the owner of the money, it is
+plain I must restore it; it would be better, therefore, that without
+taking this needless trouble, I should keep possession of it until in
+some other less meddlesome and officious way the real owner may be
+discovered; and perhaps that will be when I shall have spent it, and then
+the king will hold me harmless."
+
+"Thou art wrong there, Sancho," said Don Quixote, "for now that we have a
+suspicion who the owner is, and have him almost before us, we are bound
+to seek him and make restitution; and if we do not see him, the strong
+suspicion we have as to his being the owner makes us as guilty as if he
+were so; and so, friend Sancho, let not our search for him give thee any
+uneasiness, for if we find him it will relieve mine."
+
+And so saying he gave Rocinante the spur, and Sancho followed him on foot
+and loaded, and after having partly made the circuit of the mountain they
+found lying in a ravine, dead and half devoured by dogs and pecked by
+jackdaws, a mule saddled and bridled, all which still further
+strengthened their suspicion that he who had fled was the owner of the
+mule and the saddle-pad.
+
+As they stood looking at it they heard a whistle like that of a shepherd
+watching his flock, and suddenly on their left there appeared a great
+number of goats and behind them on the summit of the mountain the
+goatherd in charge of them, a man advanced in years. Don Quixote called
+aloud to him and begged him to come down to where they stood. He shouted
+in return, asking what had brought them to that spot, seldom or never
+trodden except by the feet of goats, or of the wolves and other wild
+beasts that roamed around. Sancho in return bade him come down, and they
+would explain all to him.
+
+The goatherd descended, and reaching the place where Don Quixote stood,
+he said, "I will wager you are looking at that hack mule that lies dead
+in the hollow there, and, faith, it has been lying there now these six
+months; tell me, have you come upon its master about here?"
+
+"We have come upon nobody," answered Don Quixote, "nor on anything except
+a saddle-pad and a little valise that we found not far from this."
+
+"I found it too," said the goatherd, "but I would not lift it nor go near
+it for fear of some ill-luck or being charged with theft, for the devil
+is crafty, and things rise up under one's feet to make one fall without
+knowing why or wherefore."
+
+"That's exactly what I say," said Sancho; "I found it too, and I would
+not go within a stone's throw of it; there I left it, and there it lies
+just as it was, for I don't want a dog with a bell."
+
+"Tell me, good man," said Don Quixote, "do you know who is the owner of
+this property?"
+
+"All I can tell you," said the goatherd, "is that about six months ago,
+more or less, there arrived at a shepherd's hut three leagues, perhaps,
+away from this, a youth of well-bred appearance and manners, mounted on
+that same mule which lies dead here, and with the same saddle-pad and
+valise which you say you found and did not touch. He asked us what part
+of this sierra was the most rugged and retired; we told him that it was
+where we now are; and so in truth it is, for if you push on half a league
+farther, perhaps you will not be able to find your way out; and I am
+wondering how you have managed to come here, for there is no road or path
+that leads to this spot. I say, then, that on hearing our answer the
+youth turned about and made for the place we pointed out to him, leaving
+us all charmed with his good looks, and wondering at his question and the
+haste with which we saw him depart in the direction of the sierra; and
+after that we saw him no more, until some days afterwards he crossed the
+path of one of our shepherds, and without saying a word to him, came up
+to him and gave him several cuffs and kicks, and then turned to the ass
+with our provisions and took all the bread and cheese it carried, and
+having done this made off back again into the sierra with extraordinary
+swiftness. When some of us goatherds learned this we went in search of
+him for about two days through the most remote portion of this sierra, at
+the end of which we found him lodged in the hollow of a large thick cork
+tree. He came out to meet us with great gentleness, with his dress now
+torn and his face so disfigured and burned by the sun, that we hardly
+recognised him but that his clothes, though torn, convinced us, from the
+recollection we had of them, that he was the person we were looking for.
+He saluted us courteously, and in a few well-spoken words he told us not
+to wonder at seeing him going about in this guise, as it was binding upon
+him in order that he might work out a penance which for his many sins had
+been imposed upon him. We asked him to tell us who he was, but we were
+never able to find out from him: we begged of him too, when he was in
+want of food, which he could not do without, to tell us where we should
+find him, as we would bring it to him with all good-will and readiness;
+or if this were not to his taste, at least to come and ask it of us and
+not take it by force from the shepherds. He thanked us for the offer,
+begged pardon for the late assault, and promised for the future to ask it
+in God's name without offering violence to anybody. As for fixed abode,
+he said he had no other than that which chance offered wherever night
+might overtake him; and his words ended in an outburst of weeping so
+bitter that we who listened to him must have been very stones had we not
+joined him in it, comparing what we saw of him the first time with what
+we saw now; for, as I said, he was a graceful and gracious youth, and in
+his courteous and polished language showed himself to be of good birth
+and courtly breeding, and rustics as we were that listened to him, even
+to our rusticity his gentle bearing sufficed to make it plain.
+
+"But in the midst of his conversation he stopped and became silent,
+keeping his eyes fixed upon the ground for some time, during which we
+stood still waiting anxiously to see what would come of this abstraction;
+and with no little pity, for from his behaviour, now staring at the
+ground with fixed gaze and eyes wide open without moving an eyelid, again
+closing them, compressing his lips and raising his eyebrows, we could
+perceive plainly that a fit of madness of some kind had come upon him;
+and before long he showed that what we imagined was the truth, for he
+arose in a fury from the ground where he had thrown himself, and attacked
+the first he found near him with such rage and fierceness that if we had
+not dragged him off him, he would have beaten or bitten him to death, all
+the while exclaiming, 'Oh faithless Fernando, here, here shalt thou pay
+the penalty of the wrong thou hast done me; these hands shall tear out
+that heart of thine, abode and dwelling of all iniquity, but of deceit
+and fraud above all; and to these he added other words all in effect
+upbraiding this Fernando and charging him with treachery and
+faithlessness.
+
+"We forced him to release his hold with no little difficulty, and without
+another word he left us, and rushing off plunged in among these brakes
+and brambles, so as to make it impossible for us to follow him; from this
+we suppose that madness comes upon him from time to time, and that some
+one called Fernando must have done him a wrong of a grievous nature such
+as the condition to which it had brought him seemed to show. All this has
+been since then confirmed on those occasions, and they have been many, on
+which he has crossed our path, at one time to beg the shepherds to give
+him some of the food they carry, at another to take it from them by
+force; for when there is a fit of madness upon him, even though the
+shepherds offer it freely, he will not accept it but snatches it from
+them by dint of blows; but when he is in his senses he begs it for the
+love of God, courteously and civilly, and receives it with many thanks
+and not a few tears. And to tell you the truth, sirs," continued the
+goatherd, "it was yesterday that we resolved, I and four of the lads, two
+of them our servants, and the other two friends of mine, to go in search
+of him until we find him, and when we do to take him, whether by force or
+of his own consent, to the town of Almodovar, which is eight leagues from
+this, and there strive to cure him (if indeed his malady admits of a
+cure), or learn when he is in his senses who he is, and if he has
+relatives to whom we may give notice of his misfortune. This, sirs, is
+all I can say in answer to what you have asked me; and be sure that the
+owner of the articles you found is he whom you saw pass by with such
+nimbleness and so naked."
+
+For Don Quixote had already described how he had seen the man go bounding
+along the mountain side, and he was now filled with amazement at what he
+heard from the goatherd, and more eager than ever to discover who the
+unhappy madman was; and in his heart he resolved, as he had done before,
+to search for him all over the mountain, not leaving a corner or cave
+unexamined until he had found him. But chance arranged matters better
+than he expected or hoped, for at that very moment, in a gorge on the
+mountain that opened where they stood, the youth he wished to find made
+his appearance, coming along talking to himself in a way that would have
+been unintelligible near at hand, much more at a distance. His garb was
+what has been described, save that as he drew near, Don Quixote perceived
+that a tattered doublet which he wore was amber-tanned, from which he
+concluded that one who wore such garments could not be of very low rank.
+
+Approaching them, the youth greeted them in a harsh and hoarse voice but
+with great courtesy. Don Quixote returned his salutation with equal
+politeness, and dismounting from Rocinante advanced with well-bred
+bearing and grace to embrace him, and held him for some time close in his
+arms as if he had known him for a long time. The other, whom we may call
+the Ragged One of the Sorry Countenance, as Don Quixote was of the
+Rueful, after submitting to the embrace pushed him back a little and,
+placing his hands on Don Quixote's shoulders, stood gazing at him as if
+seeking to see whether he knew him, not less amazed, perhaps, at the
+sight of the face, figure, and armour of Don Quixote than Don Quixote was
+at the sight of him. To be brief, the first to speak after embracing was
+the Ragged One, and he said what will be told farther on.

+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be

+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"

+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project

+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by

+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR

+your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER

+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,

+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
