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.

This he turned over in his +mind again and again with great satisfaction, fully persuaded that +he would shortly see its fulfillment; and as for Sancho, though, as +has been said, he hated being a governor, still he had a longing to be +giving orders and finding himself obeyed once more; this is the +misfortune that being in authority, even in jest, brings with it.</p> + +<p>To resume; that afternoon their host Don Antonio Moreno and his +two friends, with Don Quixote and Sancho, went to the galleys. The +commandant had been already made aware of his good fortune in seeing +two such famous persons as Don Quixote and Sancho, and the instant +they came to the shore all the galleys struck their awnings and the +clarions rang out. A skiff covered with rich carpets and cushions of +crimson velvet was immediately lowered into the water, and as Don +Quixote stepped on board of it, the leading galley fired her gangway +gun, and the other galleys did the same; and as he mounted the +starboard ladder the whole crew saluted him (as is the custom when a +personage of distinction comes on board a galley) by exclaiming "Hu, +hu, hu," three times. The general, for so we shall call him, a +Valencian gentleman of rank, gave him his hand and embraced him, +saying, "I shall mark this day with a white stone as one of the +happiest I can expect to enjoy in my lifetime, since I have seen Senor +Don Quixote of La Mancha, pattern and image wherein we see contained +and condensed all that is worthy in knight-errantry."</p> + +<p>Don Quixote delighted beyond measure with such a lordly reception, +replied to him in words no less courteous. All then proceeded to the +poop, which was very handsomely decorated, and seated themselves on +the bulwark benches; the boatswain passed along the gangway and +piped all hands to strip, which they did in an instant. Sancho, seeing +such a number of men stripped to the skin, was taken aback, and +still more when he saw them spread the awning so briskly that it +seemed to him as if all the devils were at work at it; but all this +was cakes and fancy bread to what I am going to tell now. Sancho was +seated on the captain's stage, close to the aftermost rower on the +right-hand side. He, previously instructed in what he was to do, +laid hold of Sancho, hoisting him up in his arms, and the whole +crew, who were standing ready, beginning on the right, proceeded to +pass him on, whirling him along from hand to hand and from bench to +bench with such rapidity that it took the sight out of poor Sancho's +eyes, and he made quite sure that the devils themselves were flying +away with him; nor did they leave off with him until they had sent him +back along the left side and deposited him on the poop; and the poor +fellow was left bruised and breathless and all in a sweat, and +unable to comprehend what it was that had happened to him.</p> + +<p>Don Quixote when he saw Sancho's flight without wings asked the +general if this was a usual ceremony with those who came on board +the galleys for the first time; for, if so, as he had no intention +of adopting them as a profession, he had no mind to perform such feats +of agility, and if anyone offered to lay hold of him to whirl him +about, he vowed to God he would kick his soul out; and as he said this +he stood up and clapped his hand upon his sword. At this instant +they struck the awning and lowered the yard with a prodigious +rattle. Sancho thought heaven was coming off its hinges and going to +fall on his head, and full of terror he ducked it and buried it +between his knees; nor were Don Quixote's knees altogether under +control, for he too shook a little, squeezed his shoulders together +and lost colour. The crew then hoisted the yard with the same rapidity +and clatter as when they lowered it, all the while keeping silence +as though they had neither voice nor breath. The boatswain gave the +signal to weigh anchor, and leaping upon the middle of the gangway +began to lay on to the shoulders of the crew with his courbash or +whip, and to haul out gradually to sea.</p> + +<p>When Sancho saw so many red feet (for such he took the oars to be) +moving all together, he said to himself, "It's these that are the real +chanted things, and not the ones my master talks of. What can those +wretches have done to be so whipped; and how does that one man who +goes along there whistling dare to whip so many? I declare this is +hell, or at least purgatory!"</p> + +<p>Don Quixote, observing how attentively Sancho regarded what was +going on, said to him, "Ah, Sancho my friend, how quickly and +cheaply might you finish off the disenchantment of Dulcinea, if you +would strip to the waist and take your place among those gentlemen! +Amid the pain and sufferings of so many you would not feel your own +much; and moreover perhaps the sage Merlin would allow each of these +lashes, being laid on with a good hand, to count for ten of those +which you must give yourself at last."</p> + +<p>The general was about to ask what these lashes were, and what was +Dulcinea's disenchantment, when a sailor exclaimed, "Monjui signals +that there is an oared vessel off the coast to the west."</p> + +<p>On hearing this the general sprang upon the gangway crying, "Now +then, my sons, don't let her give us the slip! It must be some +Algerine corsair brigantine that the watchtower signals to us." The +three others immediately came alongside the chief galley to receive +their orders. The general ordered two to put out to sea while he +with the other kept in shore, so that in this way the vessel could not +escape them. The crews plied the oars driving the galleys so furiously +that they seemed to fly. The two that had put out to sea, after a +couple of miles sighted a vessel which, so far as they could make out, +they judged to be one of fourteen or fifteen banks, and so she proved. +As soon as the vessel discovered the galleys she went about with the +object and in the hope of making her escape by her speed; but the +attempt failed, for the chief galley was one of the fastest vessels +afloat, and overhauled her so rapidly that they on board the +brigantine saw clearly there was no possibility of escaping, and the +rais therefore would have had them drop their oars and give themselves +up so as not to provoke the captain in command of our galleys to +anger. But chance, directing things otherwise, so ordered it that just +as the chief galley came close enough for those on board the vessel to +hear the shouts from her calling on them to surrender, two Toraquis, +that is to say two Turks, both drunken, that with a dozen more were on +board the brigantine, discharged their muskets, killing two of the +soldiers that lined the sides of our vessel. Seeing this the general +swore he would not leave one of those he found on board the vessel +alive, but as he bore down furiously upon her she slipped away from +him underneath the oars. The galley shot a good way ahead; those on +board the vessel saw their case was desperate, and while the galley +was coming about they made sail, and by sailing and rowing once more +tried to sheer off; but their activity did not do them as much good as +their rashness did them harm, for the galley coming up with them in +a little more than half a mile threw her oars over them and took the +whole of them alive. The other two galleys now joined company and +all four returned with the prize to the beach, where a vast +multitude stood waiting for them, eager to see what they brought back. +The general anchored close in, and perceived that the viceroy of the +city was on the shore. He ordered the skiff to push off to fetch +him, and the yard to be lowered for the purpose of hanging forthwith +the rais and the rest of the men taken on board the vessel, about +six-and-thirty in number, all smart fellows and most of them Turkish +musketeers. He asked which was the rais of the brigantine, and was +answered in Spanish by one of the prisoners (who afterwards proved +to be a Spanish renegade), "This young man, senor that you see here is +our rais," and he pointed to one of the handsomest and most +gallant-looking youths that could be imagined. He did not seem to be +twenty years of age.</p> + +<p>"Tell me, dog," said the general, "what led thee to kill my +soldiers, when thou sawest it was impossible for thee to escape? Is +that the way to behave to chief galleys? Knowest thou not that +rashness is not valour? Faint prospects of success should make men +bold, but not rash."</p> + +<p>The rais was about to reply, but the general could not at that +moment listen to him, as he had to hasten to receive the viceroy, +who was now coming on board the galley, and with him certain of his +attendants and some of the people.</p> + +<p>"You have had a good chase, senor general," said the viceroy.</p> + +<p>"Your excellency shall soon see how good, by the game strung up to +this yard," replied the general.</p> + +<p>"How so?" returned the viceroy.</p> + +<p>"Because," said the general, "against all law, reason, and usages of +war they have killed on my hands two of the best soldiers on board +these galleys, and I have sworn to hang every man that I have taken, +but above all this youth who is the rais of the brigantine," and he +pointed to him as he stood with his hands already bound and the rope +round his neck, ready for death.</p> + +<p>The viceroy looked at him, and seeing him so well-favoured, so +graceful, and so submissive, he felt a desire to spare his life, the +comeliness of the youth furnishing him at once with a letter of +recommendation. He therefore questioned him, saying, "Tell me, rais, +art thou Turk, Moor, or renegade?"</p> + +<p>To which the youth replied, also in Spanish, "I am neither Turk, nor +Moor, nor renegade."</p> + +<p>"What art thou, then?" said the viceroy.</p> + +<p>"A Christian woman," replied the youth.</p> + +<p>"A woman and a Christian, in such a dress and in such circumstances! +It is more marvellous than credible," said the viceroy.</p> + +<p>"Suspend the execution of the sentence," said the youth; "your +vengeance will not lose much by waiting while I tell you the story +of my life."</p> + +<p>What heart could be so hard as not to be softened by these words, at +any rate so far as to listen to what the unhappy youth had to say? The +general bade him say what he pleased, but not to expect pardon for his +flagrant offence. With this permission the youth began in these words.</p> + +<p>"Born of Morisco parents, I am of that nation, more unhappy than +wise, upon which of late a sea of woes has poured down. In the +course of our misfortune I was carried to Barbary by two uncles of +mine, for it was in vain that I declared I was a Christian, as in fact +I am, and not a mere pretended one, or outwardly, but a true +Catholic Christian. It availed me nothing with those charged with +our sad expatriation to protest this, nor would my uncles believe +it; on the contrary, they treated it as an untruth and a subterfuge +set up to enable me to remain behind in the land of my birth; and +so, more by force than of my own will, they took me with them. I had a +Christian mother, and a father who was a man of sound sense and a +Christian too; I imbibed the Catholic faith with my mother's milk, I +was well brought up, and neither in word nor in deed did I, I think, +show any sign of being a Morisco. To accompany these virtues, for such +I hold them, my beauty, if I possess any, grew with my growth; and +great as was the seclusion in which I lived it was not so great but +that a young gentleman, Don Gaspar Gregorio by name, eldest son of a +gentleman who is lord of a village near ours, contrived to find +opportunities of seeing me. How he saw me, how we met, how his heart +was lost to me, and mine not kept from him, would take too long to +tell, especially at a moment when I am in dread of the cruel cord that +threatens me interposing between tongue and throat; I will only say, +therefore, that Don Gregorio chose to accompany me in our +banishment. He joined company with the Moriscoes who were going +forth from other villages, for he knew their language very well, and +on the voyage he struck up a friendship with my two uncles who were +carrying me with them; for my father, like a wise and far-sighted man, +as soon as he heard the first edict for our expulsion, quitted the +village and departed in quest of some refuge for us abroad. He left +hidden and buried, at a spot of which I alone have knowledge, a +large quantity of pearls and precious stones of great value, +together with a sum of money in gold cruzadoes and doubloons. He +charged me on no account to touch the treasure, if by any chance +they expelled us before his return. I obeyed him, and with my +uncles, as I have said, and others of our kindred and neighbours, +passed over to Barbary, and the place where we took up our abode was +Algiers, much the same as if we had taken it up in hell itself. The +king heard of my beauty, and report told him of my wealth, which was +in some degree fortunate for me. He summoned me before him, and +asked me what part of Spain I came from, and what money and jewels I +had. I mentioned the place, and told him the jewels and money were +buried there; but that they might easily be recovered if I myself went +back for them. All this I told him, in dread lest my beauty and not +his own covetousness should influence him. While he was engaged in +conversation with me, they brought him word that in company with me +was one of the handsomest and most graceful youths that could be +imagined. I knew at once that they were speaking of Don Gaspar +Gregorio, whose comeliness surpasses the most highly vaunted beauty. I +was troubled when I thought of the danger he was in, for among those +barbarous Turks a fair youth is more esteemed than a woman, be she +ever so beautiful. The king immediately ordered him to be brought +before him that he might see him, and asked me if what they said about +the youth was true. I then, almost as if inspired by heaven, told +him it was, but that I would have him to know it was not a man, but +a woman like myself, and I entreated him to allow me to go and dress +her in the attire proper to her, so that her beauty might be seen to +perfection, and that she might present herself before him with less +embarrassment. He bade me go by all means, and said that the next +day we should discuss the plan to be adopted for my return to Spain to +carry away the hidden treasure. I saw Don Gaspar, I told him the +danger he was in if he let it be seen he was a man, I dressed him as a +Moorish woman, and that same afternoon I brought him before the +king, who was charmed when he saw him, and resolved to keep the damsel +and make a present of her to the Grand Signor; and to avoid the risk +she might run among the women of his seraglio, and distrustful of +himself, he commanded her to be placed in the house of some Moorish +ladies of rank who would protect and attend to her; and thither he was +taken at once. What we both suffered (for I cannot deny that I love +him) may be left to the imagination of those who are separated if they +love one another dearly. The king then arranged that I should return +to Spain in this brigantine, and that two Turks, those who killed your +soldiers, should accompany me. There also came with me this Spanish +renegade"—and here she pointed to him who had first spoken—"whom I +know to be secretly a Christian, and to be more desirous of being left +in Spain than of returning to Barbary. The rest of the crew of the +brigantine are Moors and Turks, who merely serve as rowers. The two +Turks, greedy and insolent, instead of obeying the orders we had to +land me and this renegade in Christian dress (with which we came +provided) on the first Spanish ground we came to, chose to run along +the coast and make some prize if they could, fearing that if they +put us ashore first, we might, in case of some accident befalling +us, make it known that the brigantine was at sea, and thus, if there +happened to be any galleys on the coast, they might be taken. We +sighted this shore last night, and knowing nothing of these galleys, +we were discovered, and the result was what you have seen. To sum +up, there is Don Gregorio in woman's dress, among women, in imminent +danger of his life; and here am I, with hands bound, in expectation, +or rather in dread, of losing my life, of which I am already weary. +Here, sirs, ends my sad story, as true as it is unhappy; all I ask +of you is to allow me to die like a Christian, for, as I have +already said, I am not to be charged with the offence of which those +of my nation are guilty;" and she stood silent, her eyes filled with +moving tears, accompanied by plenty from the bystanders. The +viceroy, touched with compassion, went up to her without speaking +and untied the cord that bound the hands of the Moorish girl.</p> + +<p>But all the while the Morisco Christian was telling her strange +story, an elderly pilgrim, who had come on board of the galley at +the same time as the viceroy, kept his eyes fixed upon her; and the +instant she ceased speaking he threw himself at her feet, and +embracing them said in a voice broken by sobs and sighs, "O Ana Felix, +my unhappy daughter, I am thy father Ricote, come back to look for +thee, unable to live without thee, my soul that thou art!"</p> + +<p>At these words of his, Sancho opened his eyes and raised his head, +which he had been holding down, brooding over his unlucky excursion; +and looking at the pilgrim he recognised in him that same Ricote he +met the day he quitted his government, and felt satisfied that this +was his daughter. She being now unbound embraced her father, +mingling her tears with his, while he addressing the general and the +viceroy said, "This, sirs, is my daughter, more unhappy in her +adventures than in her name. She is Ana Felix, surnamed Ricote, +celebrated as much for her own beauty as for my wealth. I quitted my +native land in search of some shelter or refuge for us abroad, and +having found one in Germany I returned in this pilgrim's dress, in the +company of some other German pilgrims, to seek my daughter and take up +a large quantity of treasure I had left buried. My daughter I did +not find, the treasure I found and have with me; and now, in this +strange roundabout way you have seen, I find the treasure that more +than all makes me rich, my beloved daughter. If our innocence and +her tears and mine can with strict justice open the door to +clemency, extend it to us, for we never had any intention of +injuring you, nor do we sympathise with the aims of our people, who +have been justly banished."</p> + +<p>"I know Ricote well," said Sancho at this, "and I know too that what +he says about Ana Felix being his daughter is true; but as to those +other particulars about going and coming, and having good or bad +intentions, I say nothing."</p> + +<p>While all present stood amazed at this strange occurrence the +general said, "At any rate your tears will not allow me to keep my +oath; live, fair Ana Felix, all the years that heaven has allotted +you; but these rash insolent fellows must pay the penalty of the crime +they have committed;" and with that he gave orders to have the two +Turks who had killed his two soldiers hanged at once at the +yard-arm. The viceroy, however, begged him earnestly not to hang them, +as their behaviour savoured rather of madness than of bravado. The +general yielded to the viceroy's request, for revenge is not easily +taken in cold blood. They then tried to devise some scheme for +rescuing Don Gaspar Gregorio from the danger in which he had been +left. Ricote offered for that object more than two thousand ducats +that he had in pearls and gems; they proposed several plans, but +none so good as that suggested by the renegade already mentioned, +who offered to return to Algiers in a small vessel of about six banks, +manned by Christian rowers, as he knew where, how, and when he could +and should land, nor was he ignorant of the house in which Don +Gaspar was staying. The general and the viceroy had some hesitation +about placing confidence in the renegade and entrusting him with the +Christians who were to row, but Ana Felix said she could answer for +him, and her father offered to go and pay the ransom of the Christians +if by any chance they should not be forthcoming. This, then, being +agreed upon, the viceroy landed, and Don Antonio Moreno took the +fair Morisco and her father home with him, the viceroy charging him to +give them the best reception and welcome in his power, while on his +own part he offered all that house contained for their +entertainment; so great was the good-will and kindliness the beauty of +Ana Felix had infused into his heart.</p> + + +<br><br><br><br> +<center><a name="p63e"></a><img alt="p63e.jpg (23K)" src="images/p63e.jpg" height="437" width="425"> +</center> +<br><br><br><br> + +<br><br> +<center><h2><a name="ch64b"></a>CHAPTER LXIV.</h2></center> +<br> +<center><h3>TREATING OF THE ADVENTURE WHICH GAVE DON QUIXOTE MORE UNHAPPINESS +THAN ALL THAT HAD HITHERTO BEFALLEN HIM +</h3></center> +<br> +<br> + +<center><a name="p64a"></a><img alt="p64a.jpg (80K)" src="images/p64a.jpg" height="221" width="650"> +</center> +<a href="images/p64a.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Full Size" src="images/enlarge.jpg"></a> +<br><br><br><br> + +<p> +The wife of Don Antonio Moreno, so the history says, was extremely +happy to see Ana Felix in her house. She welcomed her with great +kindness, charmed as well by her beauty as by her intelligence; for in +both respects the fair Morisco was richly endowed, and all the +people of the city flocked to see her as though they had been summoned +by the ringing of the bells.</p> + +<p>Don Quixote told Don Antonio that the plan adopted for releasing Don +Gregorio was not a good one, for its risks were greater than its +advantages, and that it would be better to land himself with his +arms and horse in Barbary; for he would carry him off in spite of +the whole Moorish host, as Don Gaiferos carried off his wife +Melisendra.</p> + +<p>"Remember, your worship," observed Sancho on hearing him say so, +"Senor Don Gaiferos carried off his wife from the mainland, and took +her to France by land; but in this case, if by chance we carry off Don +Gregorio, we have no way of bringing him to Spain, for there's the sea +between."</p> + +<p>"There's a remedy for everything except death," said Don Quixote; +"if they bring the vessel close to the shore we shall be able to get +on board though all the world strive to prevent us."</p> + +<p>"Your worship hits it off mighty well and mighty easy," said Sancho; +"but 'it's a long step from saying to doing;' and I hold to the +renegade, for he seems to me an honest good-hearted fellow."</p> + +<p>Don Antonio then said that if the renegade did not prove successful, +the expedient of the great Don Quixote's expedition to Barbary +should be adopted. Two days afterwards the renegade put to sea in a +light vessel of six oars a-side manned by a stout crew, and two days +later the galleys made sail eastward, the general having begged the +viceroy to let him know all about the release of Don Gregorio and +about Ana Felix, and the viceroy promised to do as he requested.</p> + +<p>One morning as Don Quixote went out for a stroll along the beach, +arrayed in full armour (for, as he often said, that was "his only +gear, his only rest the fray," and he never was without it for a +moment), he saw coming towards him a knight, also in full armour, with +a shining moon painted on his shield, who, on approaching sufficiently +near to be heard, said in a loud voice, addressing himself to Don +Quixote, "Illustrious knight, and never sufficiently extolled Don +Quixote of La Mancha, I am the Knight of the White Moon, whose +unheard-of achievements will perhaps have recalled him to thy +memory. I come to do battle with thee and prove the might of thy +arm, to the end that I make thee acknowledge and confess that my lady, +let her be who she may, is incomparably fairer than thy Dulcinea del +Toboso. If thou dost acknowledge this fairly and openly, thou shalt +escape death and save me the trouble of inflicting it upon thee; if +thou fightest and I vanquish thee, I demand no other satisfaction than +that, laying aside arms and abstaining from going in quest of +adventures, thou withdraw and betake thyself to thine own village +for the space of a year, and live there without putting hand to sword, +in peace and quiet and beneficial repose, the same being needful for +the increase of thy substance and the salvation of thy soul; and if +thou dost vanquish me, my head shall be at thy disposal, my arms and +horse thy spoils, and the renown of my deeds transferred and added +to thine. Consider which will be thy best course, and give me thy +answer speedily, for this day is all the time I have for the +despatch of this business."</p> + +<p>Don Quixote was amazed and astonished, as well at the Knight of +the White Moon's arrogance, as at his reason for delivering the +defiance, and with calm dignity he answered him, "Knight of the +White Moon, of whose achievements I have never heard until now, I will +venture to swear you have never seen the illustrious Dulcinea; for had +you seen her I know you would have taken care not to venture +yourself upon this issue, because the sight would have removed all +doubt from your mind that there ever has been or can be a beauty to be +compared with hers; and so, not saying you lie, but merely that you +are not correct in what you state, I accept your challenge, with the +conditions you have proposed, and at once, that the day you have fixed +may not expire; and from your conditions I except only that of the +renown of your achievements being transferred to me, for I know not of +what sort they are nor what they may amount to; I am satisfied with my +own, such as they be. Take, therefore, the side of the field you +choose, and I will do the same; and to whom God shall give it may +Saint Peter add his blessing."</p> + +<p>The Knight of the White Moon had been seen from the city, and it was +told the viceroy how he was in conversation with Don Quixote. The +viceroy, fancying it must be some fresh adventure got up by Don +Antonio Moreno or some other gentleman of the city, hurried out at +once to the beach accompanied by Don Antonio and several other +gentlemen, just as Don Quixote was wheeling Rocinante round in order +to take up the necessary distance. The viceroy upon this, seeing +that the pair of them were evidently preparing to come to the +charge, put himself between them, asking them what it was that led +them to engage in combat all of a sudden in this way. The Knight of +the White Moon replied that it was a question of precedence of beauty; +and briefly told him what he had said to Don Quixote, and how the +conditions of the defiance agreed upon on both sides had been +accepted. The viceroy went over to Don Antonio, and asked in a low +voice did he know who the Knight of the White Moon was, or was it some +joke they were playing on Don Quixote. Don Antonio replied that he +neither knew who he was nor whether the defiance was in joke or in +earnest. This answer left the viceroy in a state of perplexity, not +knowing whether he ought to let the combat go on or not; but unable to +persuade himself that it was anything but a joke he fell back, saying, +"If there be no other way out of it, gallant knights, except to +confess or die, and Don Quixote is inflexible, and your worship of the +White Moon still more so, in God's hand be it, and fall on."</p> + +<p>He of the White Moon thanked the viceroy in courteous and +well-chosen words for the permission he gave them, and so did Don +Quixote, who then, commending himself with all his heart to heaven and +to his Dulcinea, as was his custom on the eve of any combat that +awaited him, proceeded to take a little more distance, as he saw his +antagonist was doing the same; then, without blast of trumpet or other +warlike instrument to give them the signal to charge, both at the same +instant wheeled their horses; and he of the White Moon, being the +swifter, met Don Quixote after having traversed two-thirds of the +course, and there encountered him with such violence that, without +touching him with his lance (for he held it high, to all appearance +purposely), he hurled Don Quixote and Rocinante to the earth, a +perilous fall. He sprang upon him at once, and placing the lance +over his visor said to him, "You are vanquished, sir knight, nay +dead unless you admit the conditions of our defiance."</p> + +<p>Don Quixote, bruised and stupefied, without raising his visor said +in a weak feeble voice as if he were speaking out of a tomb, "Dulcinea +del Toboso is the fairest woman in the world, and I the most +unfortunate knight on earth; it is not fitting that this truth +should suffer by my feebleness; drive your lance home, sir knight, and +take my life, since you have taken away my honour."</p> + +<p>"That will I not, in sooth," said he of the White Moon; "live the +fame of the lady Dulcinea's beauty undimmed as ever; all I require +is that the great Don Quixote retire to his own home for a year, or +for so long a time as shall by me be enjoined upon him, as we agreed +before engaging in this combat."</p> + +<p>The viceroy, Don Antonio, and several others who were present +heard all this, and heard too how Don Quixote replied that so long +as nothing in prejudice of Dulcinea was demanded of him, he would +observe all the rest like a true and loyal knight. The engagement +given, he of the White Moon wheeled about, and making obeisance to the +viceroy with a movement of the head, rode away into the city at a half +gallop. The viceroy bade Don Antonio hasten after him, and by some +means or other find out who he was. They raised Don Quixote up and +uncovered his face, and found him pale and bathed with sweat.</p> + +<br><br><br><br> +<center><a name="p64b"></a><img alt="p64b.jpg (344K)" src="images/p64b.jpg" height="822" width="650"> +</center> +<a href="images/p64b.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Full Size" src="images/enlarge.jpg"></a> +<br><br><br><br> + +<p>Rocinante from the mere hard measure he had received lay unable to +stir for the present.

Don Antonio, eager +to make his acquaintance, entered also; a squire came out to meet +him and remove his armour, and he shut himself into a lower room, +still attended by Don Antonio, whose bread would not bake until he had +found out who he was. He of the White Moon, seeing then that the +gentleman would not leave him, said, "I know very well, senor, what +you have come for; it is to find out who I am; and as there is no +reason why I should conceal it from you, while my servant here is +taking off my armour I will tell you the true state of the case, +without leaving out anything. You must know, senor, that I am called +the bachelor Samson Carrasco. I am of the same village as Don +Quixote of La Mancha, whose craze and folly make all of us who know +him feel pity for him, and I am one of those who have felt it most; +and persuaded that his chance of recovery lay in quiet and keeping +at home and in his own house, I hit upon a device for keeping him +there. Three months ago, therefore, I went out to meet him as a +knight-errant, under the assumed name of the Knight of the Mirrors, +intending to engage him in combat and overcome him without hurting +him, making it the condition of our combat that the vanquished +should be at the disposal of the victor. What I meant to demand of him +(for I regarded him as vanquished already) was that he should return +to his own village, and not leave it for a whole year, by which time +he might be cured. But fate ordered it otherwise, for he vanquished me +and unhorsed me, and so my plan failed. He went his way, and I came +back conquered, covered with shame, and sorely bruised by my fall, +which was a particularly dangerous one. But this did not quench my +desire to meet him again and overcome him, as you have seen to-day. +And as he is so scrupulous in his observance of the laws of +knight-errantry, he will, no doubt, in order to keep his word, obey +the injunction I have laid upon him. This, senor, is how the matter +stands, and I have nothing more to tell you. I implore of you not to +betray me, or tell Don Quixote who I am; so that my honest +endeavours may be successful, and that a man of excellent wits—were +he only rid of the fooleries of chivalry—may get them back again."</p> + +<p>"O senor," said Don Antonio, "may God forgive you the wrong you have +done the whole world in trying to bring the most amusing madman in +it back to his senses. Do you not see, senor, that the gain by Don +Quixote's sanity can never equal the enjoyment his crazes give? But my +belief is that all the senor bachelor's pains will be of no avail to +bring a man so hopelessly cracked to his senses again; and if it +were not uncharitable, I would say may Don Quixote never be cured, for +by his recovery we lose not only his own drolleries, but his squire +Sancho Panza's too, any one of which is enough to turn melancholy +itself into merriment. However, I'll hold my peace and say nothing +to him, and we'll see whether I am right in my suspicion that Senor +Carrasco's efforts will be fruitless."</p> + +<p>The bachelor replied that at all events the affair promised well, +and he hoped for a happy result from it; and putting his services at +Don Antonio's commands he took his leave of him; and having had his +armour packed at once upon a mule, he rode away from the city the same +day on the horse he rode to battle, and returned to his own country +without meeting any adventure calling for record in this veracious +history.</p> + +<p>Don Antonio reported to the viceroy what Carrasco told him, and +the viceroy was not very well pleased to hear it, for with Don +Quixote's retirement there was an end to the amusement of all who knew +anything of his mad doings.</p> + +<p>Six days did Don Quixote keep his bed, dejected, melancholy, moody +and out of sorts, brooding over the unhappy event of his defeat. +Sancho strove to comfort him, and among other things he said to him, +"Hold up your head, senor, and be of good cheer if you can, and give +thanks to heaven that if you have had a tumble to the ground you +have not come off with a broken rib; and, as you know that 'where they +give they take,' and that 'there are not always fletches where there +are pegs,' a fig for the doctor, for there's no need of him to cure +this ailment. Let us go home, and give over going about in search of +adventures in strange lands and places; rightly looked at, it is I +that am the greater loser, though it is your worship that has had +the worse usage. With the government I gave up all wish to be a +governor again, but I did not give up all longing to be a count; and +that will never come to pass if your worship gives up becoming a +king by renouncing the calling of chivalry; and so my hopes are +going to turn into smoke."</p> + +<p>"Peace, Sancho," said Don Quixote; "thou seest my suspension and +retirement is not to exceed a year; I shall soon return to my honoured +calling, and I shall not be at a loss for a kingdom to win and a +county to bestow on thee."</p> + +<p>"May God hear it and sin be deaf," said Sancho; "I have always heard +say that 'a good hope is better than a bad holding."</p> + +<p>As they were talking Don Antonio came in looking extremely pleased +and exclaiming, "Reward me for my good news, Senor Don Quixote! Don +Gregorio and the renegade who went for him have come ashore—ashore do +I say? They are by this time in the viceroy's house, and will be +here immediately."</p> + +<p>Don Quixote cheered up a little and said, "Of a truth I am almost +ready to say I should have been glad had it turned out just the +other way, for it would have obliged me to cross over to Barbary, +where by the might of my arm I should have restored to liberty, not +only Don Gregorio, but all the Christian captives there are in +Barbary. But what am I saying, miserable being that I am? Am I not +he that has been conquered? Am I not he that has been overthrown? Am I +not he who must not take up arms for a year? Then what am I making +professions for; what am I bragging about; when it is fitter for me to +handle the distaff than the sword?"</p> + +<p>"No more of that, senor," said Sancho; "'let the hen live, even +though it be with her pip; 'today for thee and to-morrow for me;' in +these affairs of encounters and whacks one must not mind them, for +he that falls to-day may get up to-morrow; unless indeed he chooses to +lie in bed, I mean gives way to weakness and does not pluck up fresh +spirit for fresh battles; let your worship get up now to receive Don +Gregorio; for the household seems to be in a bustle, and no doubt he +has come by this time;" and so it proved, for as soon as Don +Gregorio and the renegade had given the viceroy an account of the +voyage out and home, Don Gregorio, eager to see Ana Felix, came with +the renegade to Don Antonio's house. When they carried him away from +Algiers he was in woman's dress; on board the vessel, however, he +exchanged it for that of a captive who escaped with him; but in +whatever dress he might be he looked like one to be loved and served +and esteemed, for he was surpassingly well-favoured, and to judge by +appearances some seventeen or eighteen years of age. Ricote and his +daughter came out to welcome him, the father with tears, the +daughter with bashfulness. They did not embrace each other, for +where there is deep love there will never be overmuch boldness. Seen +side by side, the comeliness of Don Gregorio and the beauty of Ana +Felix were the admiration of all who were present. It was silence that +spoke for the lovers at that moment, and their eyes were the tongues +that declared their pure and happy feelings. The renegade explained +the measures and means he had adopted to rescue Don Gregorio, and +Don Gregorio at no great length, but in a few words, in which he +showed that his intelligence was in advance of his years, described +the peril and embarrassment he found himself in among the women with +whom he had sojourned. To conclude, Ricote liberally recompensed and +rewarded as well the renegade as the men who had rowed; and the +renegade effected his readmission into the body of the Church and +was reconciled with it, and from a rotten limb became by penance and +repentance a clean and sound one.</p> + +<p>Two days later the viceroy discussed with Don Antonio the steps they +should take to enable Ana Felix and her father to stay in Spain, for +it seemed to them there could be no objection to a daughter who was so +good a Christian and a father to all appearance so well disposed +remaining there. Don Antonio offered to arrange the matter at the +capital, whither he was compelled to go on some other business, +hinting that many a difficult affair was settled there with the help +of favour and bribes.</p> + +<p>"Nay," said Ricote, who was present during the conversation, "it +will not do to rely upon favour or bribes, because with the great +Don Bernardino de Velasco, Conde de Salazar, to whom his Majesty has +entrusted our expulsion, neither entreaties nor promises, bribes nor +appeals to compassion, are of any use; for though it is true he +mingles mercy with justice, still, seeing that the whole body of our +nation is tainted and corrupt, he applies to it the cautery that burns +rather than the salve that soothes; and thus, by prudence, sagacity, +care and the fear he inspires, he has borne on his mighty shoulders +the weight of this great policy and carried it into effect, all our +schemes and plots, importunities and wiles, being ineffectual to blind +his Argus eyes, ever on the watch lest one of us should remain +behind in concealment, and like a hidden root come in course of time +to sprout and bear poisonous fruit in Spain, now cleansed, and +relieved of the fear in which our vast numbers kept it. Heroic resolve +of the great Philip the Third, and unparalleled wisdom to have +entrusted it to the said Don Bernardino de Velasco!"</p> + +<p>"At any rate," said Don Antonio, "when I am there I will make all +possible efforts, and let heaven do as pleases it best; Don Gregorio +will come with me to relieve the anxiety which his parents must be +suffering on account of his absence; Ana Felix will remain in my house +with my wife, or in a monastery; and I know the viceroy will be glad +that the worthy Ricote should stay with him until we see what terms +I can make."</p> + +<p>The viceroy agreed to all that was proposed; but Don Gregorio on +learning what had passed declared he could not and would not on any +account leave Ana Felix; however, as it was his purpose to go and +see his parents and devise some way of returning for her, he fell in +with the proposed arrangement. Ana Felix remained with Don Antonio's +wife, and Ricote in the viceroy's house.</p> + +<p>The day for Don Antonio's departure came; and two days later that +for Don Quixote's and Sancho's, for Don Quixote's fall did not +suffer him to take the road sooner. There were tears and sighs, +swoonings and sobs, at the parting between Don Gregorio and Ana Felix. +Ricote offered Don Gregorio a thousand crowns if he would have them, +but he would not take any save five which Don Antonio lent him and +he promised to repay at the capital. So the two of them took their +departure, and Don Quixote and Sancho afterwards, as has been +already said, Don Quixote without his armour and in travelling gear, +and Sancho on foot, Dapple being loaded with the armour.</p> + + +<br><br><br><br> +<center><a name="p65e"></a><img alt="p65e.jpg (43K)" src="images/p65e.jpg" height="433" width="635"> +</center> +<br><br><br><br> + + +<br><br> +<center><h2><a name="ch66b"></a>CHAPTER LXVI.</h2></center> +<br> +<center><h3>WHICH TREATS OF WHAT HE WHO READS WILL SEE, OR WHAT HE WHO HAS IT +READ TO HIM WILL HEAR +</h3></center> +<br> +<br> + +<center><a name="p66a"></a><img alt="p66a.jpg (125K)" src="images/p66a.jpg" height="396" width="650"> +</center> +<a href="images/p66a.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Full Size" src="images/enlarge.jpg"></a> +<br><br><br><br> + +<p> +As he left Barcelona, Don Quixote turned gaze upon the spot where he +had fallen.

The agreement was that they were to run a distance of a +hundred paces with equal weights; and when the challenger was asked +how the weights were to be equalised he said that the other, as he +weighed nine stone, should put eleven in iron on his back, and that in +this way the twenty stone of the thin man would equal the twenty stone +of the fat one."</p> + +<p>"Not at all," exclaimed Sancho at once, before Don Quixote could +answer; "it's for me, that only a few days ago left off being a +governor and a judge, as all the world knows, to settle these doubtful +questions and give an opinion in disputes of all sorts."</p> + +<p>"Answer in God's name, Sancho my friend," said Don Quixote, "for I +am not fit to give crumbs to a cat, my wits are so confused and +upset."</p> + +<p>With this permission Sancho said to the peasants who stood clustered +round him, waiting with open mouths for the decision to come from his, +"Brothers, what the fat man requires is not in reason, nor has it a +shadow of justice in it; because, if it be true, as they say, that the +challenged may choose the weapons, the other has no right to choose +such as will prevent and keep him from winning. My decision, +therefore, is that the fat challenger prune, peel, thin, trim and +correct himself, and take eleven stone of his flesh off his body, here +or there, as he pleases, and as suits him best; and being in this +way reduced to nine stone weight, he will make himself equal and +even with nine stone of his opponent, and they will be able to run +on equal terms."</p> + +<p>"By all that's good," said one of the peasants as he heard +Sancho's decision, "but the gentleman has spoken like a saint, and +given judgment like a canon! But I'll be bound the fat man won't +part with an ounce of his flesh, not to say eleven stone."</p> + +<p>"The best plan will be for them not to run," said another, "so +that neither the thin man break down under the weight, nor the fat one +strip himself of his flesh; let half the wager be spent in wine, and +let's take these gentlemen to the tavern where there's the best, and +'over me be the cloak when it rains."</p> + +<p>"I thank you, sirs," said Don Quixote; "but I cannot stop for an +instant, for sad thoughts and unhappy circumstances force me to seem +discourteous and to travel apace;" and spurring Rocinante he pushed +on, leaving them wondering at what they had seen and heard, at his own +strange figure and at the shrewdness of his servant, for such they +took Sancho to be; and another of them observed, "If the servant is so +clever, what must the master be? I'll bet, if they are going to +Salamanca to study, they'll come to be alcaldes of the Court in a +trice; for it's a mere joke—only to read and read, and have +interest and good luck; and before a man knows where he is he finds +himself with a staff in his hand or a mitre on his head."</p> + +<p>That night master and man passed out in the fields in the open +air, and the next day as they were pursuing their journey they saw +coming towards them a man on foot with alforjas at the neck and a +javelin or spiked staff in his hand, the very cut of a foot courier; +who, as soon as he came close to Don Quixote, increased his pace and +half running came up to him, and embracing his right thigh, for he +could reach no higher, exclaimed with evident pleasure, "O Senor Don +Quixote of La Mancha, what happiness it will be to the heart of my +lord the duke when he knows your worship is coming back to his castle, +for he is still there with my lady the duchess!"</p> + +<p>"I do not recognise you, friend," said Don Quixote, "nor do I know +who you are, unless you tell me."</p> + +<p>"I am Tosilos, my lord the duke's lacquey, Senor Don Quixote," +replied the courier; "he who refused to fight your worship about +marrying the daughter of Dona Rodriguez."</p> + +<p>"God bless me!" exclaimed Don Quixote; "is it possible that you +are the one whom mine enemies the enchanters changed into the +lacquey you speak of in order to rob me of the honour of that battle?"</p> + +<p>"Nonsense, good sir!" said the messenger; "there was no +enchantment or transformation at all; I entered the lists just as much +lacquey Tosilos as I came out of them lacquey Tosilos. I thought to +marry without fighting, for the girl had taken my fancy; but my scheme +had a very different result, for as soon as your worship had left +the castle my lord the duke had a hundred strokes of the stick given +me for having acted contrary to the orders he gave me before +engaging in the combat; and the end of the whole affair is that the +girl has become a nun, and Dona Rodriguez has gone back to Castile, +and I am now on my way to Barcelona with a packet of letters for the +viceroy which my master is sending him. If your worship would like a +drop, sound though warm, I have a gourd here full of the best, and +some scraps of Tronchon cheese that will serve as a provocative and +wakener of your thirst if so be it is asleep."</p> + +<p>"I take the offer," said Sancho; "no more compliments about it; pour +out, good Tosilos, in spite of all the enchanters in the Indies."</p> + +<p>"Thou art indeed the greatest glutton in the world, Sancho," said +Don Quixote, "and the greatest booby on earth, not to be able to see +that this courier is enchanted and this Tosilos a sham one; stop +with him and take thy fill; I will go on slowly and wait for thee to +come up with me."</p> + +<p>The lacquey laughed, unsheathed his gourd, unwalletted his scraps, +and taking out a small loaf of bread he and Sancho seated themselves +on the green grass, and in peace and good fellowship finished off +the contents of the alforjas down to the bottom, so resolutely that +they licked the wrapper of the letters, merely because it smelt of +cheese.</p> + +<p>Said Tosilos to Sancho, "Beyond a doubt, Sancho my friend, this +master of thine ought to be a madman."</p> + +<p>"Ought!" said Sancho; "he owes no man anything; he pays for +everything, particularly when the coin is madness. I see it plain +enough, and I tell him so plain enough; but what's the use? especially +now that it is all over with him, for here he is beaten by the +Knight of the White Moon."</p> + +<p>Tosilos begged him to explain what had happened him, but Sancho +replied that it would not be good manners to leave his master +waiting for him; and that some other day if they met there would be +time enough for that; and then getting up, after shaking his doublet +and brushing the crumbs out of his beard, he drove Dapple on before +him, and bidding adieu to Tosilos left him and rejoined his master, +who was waiting for him under the shade of a tree.</p> + +<br><br><br><br> +<center><a name="p66e"></a><img alt="p66e.jpg (29K)" src="images/p66e.jpg" height="431" width="421"> +</center> + + + + +<br> +<br> +<hr> +<br><br> + + + + + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The History of Don Quixote, Vol. II., +Part 39, by Miguel de Cervantes + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK DON QUIXOTE, PART 39 *** + +***** This file should be named 5942-h.htm or 5942-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/5/9/4/5942/ + +Produced by David Widger + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + diff --git a/5942-h/images/bookcover.jpg b/5942-h/images/bookcover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e256156 --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/bookcover.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/enlarge.jpg b/5942-h/images/enlarge.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..34c47df --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/enlarge.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/p003.jpg b/5942-h/images/p003.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1780449 --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/p003.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/p63a.jpg b/5942-h/images/p63a.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..403ee20 --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/p63a.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/p63e.jpg b/5942-h/images/p63e.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a936bdc --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/p63e.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/p64a.jpg b/5942-h/images/p64a.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..999f1c0 --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/p64a.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/p64b.jpg b/5942-h/images/p64b.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..717e389 --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/p64b.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/p64e.jpg b/5942-h/images/p64e.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..52bd57f --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/p64e.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/p65a.jpg b/5942-h/images/p65a.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..099a017 --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/p65a.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/p65e.jpg b/5942-h/images/p65e.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d2a75bd --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/p65e.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/p66a.jpg b/5942-h/images/p66a.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d1614ab --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/p66a.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/p66b.jpg b/5942-h/images/p66b.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..febfd81 --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/p66b.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/p66c.jpg b/5942-h/images/p66c.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5361e7f --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/p66c.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/p66e.jpg b/5942-h/images/p66e.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c27966c --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/p66e.jpg diff --git a/5942-h/images/spine.jpg b/5942-h/images/spine.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7a967ba --- /dev/null +++ b/5942-h/images/spine.jpg diff --git a/5942.txt b/5942.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d5c8be0 --- /dev/null +++ b/5942.txt @@ -0,0 +1,1288 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The History of Don Quixote, Vol. II., Part +39, by Miguel de Cervantes + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

The commandant +had been already made aware of his good fortune in seeing two such famous +persons as Don Quixote and Sancho, and the instant they came to the shore +all the galleys struck their awnings and the clarions rang out. A skiff +covered with rich carpets and cushions of crimson velvet was immediately +lowered into the water, and as Don Quixote stepped on board of it, the +leading galley fired her gangway gun, and the other galleys did the same; +and as he mounted the starboard ladder the whole crew saluted him (as is +the custom when a personage of distinction comes on board a galley) by +exclaiming "Hu, hu, hu," three times. The general, for so we shall call +him, a Valencian gentleman of rank, gave him his hand and embraced him, +saying, "I shall mark this day with a white stone as one of the happiest +I can expect to enjoy in my lifetime, since I have seen Senor Don Quixote +of La Mancha, pattern and image wherein we see contained and condensed +all that is worthy in knight-errantry." + +Don Quixote delighted beyond measure with such a lordly reception, +replied to him in words no less courteous. All then proceeded to the +poop, which was very handsomely decorated, and seated themselves on the +bulwark benches; the boatswain passed along the gangway and piped all +hands to strip, which they did in an instant. Sancho, seeing such a +number of men stripped to the skin, was taken aback, and still more when +he saw them spread the awning so briskly that it seemed to him as if all +the devils were at work at it; but all this was cakes and fancy bread to +what I am going to tell now. Sancho was seated on the captain's stage, +close to the aftermost rower on the right-hand side. He, previously +instructed in what he was to do, laid hold of Sancho, hoisting him up in +his arms, and the whole crew, who were standing ready, beginning on the +right, proceeded to pass him on, whirling him along from hand to hand and +from bench to bench with such rapidity that it took the sight out of poor +Sancho's eyes, and he made quite sure that the devils themselves were +flying away with him; nor did they leave off with him until they had sent +him back along the left side and deposited him on the poop; and the poor +fellow was left bruised and breathless and all in a sweat, and unable to +comprehend what it was that had happened to him. + +Don Quixote when he saw Sancho's flight without wings asked the general +if this was a usual ceremony with those who came on board the galleys for +the first time; for, if so, as he had no intention of adopting them as a +profession, he had no mind to perform such feats of agility, and if +anyone offered to lay hold of him to whirl him about, he vowed to God he +would kick his soul out; and as he said this he stood up and clapped his +hand upon his sword. At this instant they struck the awning and lowered +the yard with a prodigious rattle. Sancho thought heaven was coming off +its hinges and going to fall on his head, and full of terror he ducked it +and buried it between his knees; nor were Don Quixote's knees altogether +under control, for he too shook a little, squeezed his shoulders together +and lost colour. The crew then hoisted the yard with the same rapidity +and clatter as when they lowered it, all the while keeping silence as +though they had neither voice nor breath. The boatswain gave the signal +to weigh anchor, and leaping upon the middle of the gangway began to lay +on to the shoulders of the crew with his courbash or whip, and to haul +out gradually to sea. + +When Sancho saw so many red feet (for such he took the oars to be) moving +all together, he said to himself, "It's these that are the real chanted +things, and not the ones my master talks of. What can those wretches have +done to be so whipped; and how does that one man who goes along there +whistling dare to whip so many? I declare this is hell, or at least +purgatory!" + +Don Quixote, observing how attentively Sancho regarded what was going on, +said to him, "Ah, Sancho my friend, how quickly and cheaply might you +finish off the disenchantment of Dulcinea, if you would strip to the +waist and take your place among those gentlemen! Amid the pain and +sufferings of so many you would not feel your own much; and moreover +perhaps the sage Merlin would allow each of these lashes, being laid on +with a good hand, to count for ten of those which you must give yourself +at last." + +The general was about to ask what these lashes were, and what was +Dulcinea's disenchantment, when a sailor exclaimed, "Monjui signals that +there is an oared vessel off the coast to the west." + +On hearing this the general sprang upon the gangway crying, "Now then, my +sons, don't let her give us the slip! It must be some Algerine corsair +brigantine that the watchtower signals to us." The three others +immediately came alongside the chief galley to receive their orders. The +general ordered two to put out to sea while he with the other kept in +shore, so that in this way the vessel could not escape them. The crews +plied the oars driving the galleys so furiously that they seemed to fly. +The two that had put out to sea, after a couple of miles sighted a vessel +which, so far as they could make out, they judged to be one of fourteen +or fifteen banks, and so she proved. As soon as the vessel discovered the +galleys she went about with the object and in the hope of making her +escape by her speed; but the attempt failed, for the chief galley was one +of the fastest vessels afloat, and overhauled her so rapidly that they on +board the brigantine saw clearly there was no possibility of escaping, +and the rais therefore would have had them drop their oars and give +themselves up so as not to provoke the captain in command of our galleys +to anger. But chance, directing things otherwise, so ordered it that just +as the chief galley came close enough for those on board the vessel to +hear the shouts from her calling on them to surrender, two Toraquis, that +is to say two Turks, both drunken, that with a dozen more were on board +the brigantine, discharged their muskets, killing two of the soldiers +that lined the sides of our vessel. Seeing this the general swore he +would not leave one of those he found on board the vessel alive, but as +he bore down furiously upon her she slipped away from him underneath the +oars. The galley shot a good way ahead; those on board the vessel saw +their case was desperate, and while the galley was coming about they made +sail, and by sailing and rowing once more tried to sheer off; but their +activity did not do them as much good as their rashness did them harm, +for the galley coming up with them in a little more than half a mile +threw her oars over them and took the whole of them alive. The other two +galleys now joined company and all four returned with the prize to the +beach, where a vast multitude stood waiting for them, eager to see what +they brought back. The general anchored close in, and perceived that the +viceroy of the city was on the shore. He ordered the skiff to push off to +fetch him, and the yard to be lowered for the purpose of hanging +forthwith the rais and the rest of the men taken on board the vessel, +about six-and-thirty in number, all smart fellows and most of them +Turkish musketeers. He asked which was the rais of the brigantine, and +was answered in Spanish by one of the prisoners (who afterwards proved to +be a Spanish renegade), "This young man, senor that you see here is our +rais," and he pointed to one of the handsomest and most gallant-looking +youths that could be imagined. He did not seem to be twenty years of age. + +"Tell me, dog," said the general, "what led thee to kill my soldiers, +when thou sawest it was impossible for thee to escape? Is that the way to +behave to chief galleys? Knowest thou not that rashness is not valour? +Faint prospects of success should make men bold, but not rash." + +The rais was about to reply, but the general could not at that moment +listen to him, as he had to hasten to receive the viceroy, who was now +coming on board the galley, and with him certain of his attendants and +some of the people. + +"You have had a good chase, senor general," said the viceroy. + +"Your excellency shall soon see how good, by the game strung up to this +yard," replied the general. + +"How so?" returned the viceroy. + +"Because," said the general, "against all law, reason, and usages of war +they have killed on my hands two of the best soldiers on board these +galleys, and I have sworn to hang every man that I have taken, but above +all this youth who is the rais of the brigantine," and he pointed to him +as he stood with his hands already bound and the rope round his neck, +ready for death. + +The viceroy looked at him, and seeing him so well-favoured, so graceful, +and so submissive, he felt a desire to spare his life, the comeliness of +the youth furnishing him at once with a letter of recommendation. He +therefore questioned him, saying, "Tell me, rais, art thou Turk, Moor, or +renegade?" + +To which the youth replied, also in Spanish, "I am neither Turk, nor +Moor, nor renegade." + +"What art thou, then?" said the viceroy. + +"A Christian woman," replied the youth. + +"A woman and a Christian, in such a dress and in such circumstances! It +is more marvellous than credible," said the viceroy. + +"Suspend the execution of the sentence," said the youth; "your vengeance +will not lose much by waiting while I tell you the story of my life." + +What heart could be so hard as not to be softened by these words, at any +rate so far as to listen to what the unhappy youth had to say? The +general bade him say what he pleased, but not to expect pardon for his +flagrant offence. With this permission the youth began in these words. + +"Born of Morisco parents, I am of that nation, more unhappy than wise, +upon which of late a sea of woes has poured down. In the course of our +misfortune I was carried to Barbary by two uncles of mine, for it was in +vain that I declared I was a Christian, as in fact I am, and not a mere +pretended one, or outwardly, but a true Catholic Christian. It availed me +nothing with those charged with our sad expatriation to protest this, nor +would my uncles believe it; on the contrary, they treated it as an +untruth and a subterfuge set up to enable me to remain behind in the land +of my birth; and so, more by force than of my own will, they took me with +them. I had a Christian mother, and a father who was a man of sound sense +and a Christian too; I imbibed the Catholic faith with my mother's milk, +I was well brought up, and neither in word nor in deed did I, I think, +show any sign of being a Morisco. To accompany these virtues, for such I +hold them, my beauty, if I possess any, grew with my growth; and great as +was the seclusion in which I lived it was not so great but that a young +gentleman, Don Gaspar Gregorio by name, eldest son of a gentleman who is +lord of a village near ours, contrived to find opportunities of seeing +me. How he saw me, how we met, how his heart was lost to me, and mine not +kept from him, would take too long to tell, especially at a moment when I +am in dread of the cruel cord that threatens me interposing between +tongue and throat; I will only say, therefore, that Don Gregorio chose to +accompany me in our banishment. He joined company with the Moriscoes who +were going forth from other villages, for he knew their language very +well, and on the voyage he struck up a friendship with my two uncles who +were carrying me with them; for my father, like a wise and far-sighted +man, as soon as he heard the first edict for our expulsion, quitted the +village and departed in quest of some refuge for us abroad. He left +hidden and buried, at a spot of which I alone have knowledge, a large +quantity of pearls and precious stones of great value, together with a +sum of money in gold cruzadoes and doubloons. He charged me on no account +to touch the treasure, if by any chance they expelled us before his +return. I obeyed him, and with my uncles, as I have said, and others of +our kindred and neighbours, passed over to Barbary, and the place where +we took up our abode was Algiers, much the same as if we had taken it up +in hell itself. The king heard of my beauty, and report told him of my +wealth, which was in some degree fortunate for me. He summoned me before +him, and asked me what part of Spain I came from, and what money and +jewels I had. I mentioned the place, and told him the jewels and money +were buried there; but that they might easily be recovered if I myself +went back for them. All this I told him, in dread lest my beauty and not +his own covetousness should influence him. While he was engaged in +conversation with me, they brought him word that in company with me was +one of the handsomest and most graceful youths that could be imagined. I +knew at once that they were speaking of Don Gaspar Gregorio, whose +comeliness surpasses the most highly vaunted beauty. I was troubled when +I thought of the danger he was in, for among those barbarous Turks a fair +youth is more esteemed than a woman, be she ever so beautiful. The king +immediately ordered him to be brought before him that he might see him, +and asked me if what they said about the youth was true. I then, almost +as if inspired by heaven, told him it was, but that I would have him to +know it was not a man, but a woman like myself, and I entreated him to +allow me to go and dress her in the attire proper to her, so that her +beauty might be seen to perfection, and that she might present herself +before him with less embarrassment. He bade me go by all means, and said +that the next day we should discuss the plan to be adopted for my return +to Spain to carry away the hidden treasure. I saw Don Gaspar, I told him +the danger he was in if he let it be seen he was a man, I dressed him as +a Moorish woman, and that same afternoon I brought him before the king, +who was charmed when he saw him, and resolved to keep the damsel and make +a present of her to the Grand Signor; and to avoid the risk she might run +among the women of his seraglio, and distrustful of himself, he commanded +her to be placed in the house of some Moorish ladies of rank who would +protect and attend to her; and thither he was taken at once. What we both +suffered (for I cannot deny that I love him) may be left to the +imagination of those who are separated if they love one another dearly. +The king then arranged that I should return to Spain in this brigantine, +and that two Turks, those who killed your soldiers, should accompany me. +There also came with me this Spanish renegade"--and here she pointed to +him who had first spoken--"whom I know to be secretly a Christian, and to +be more desirous of being left in Spain than of returning to Barbary. The +rest of the crew of the brigantine are Moors and Turks, who merely serve +as rowers. The two Turks, greedy and insolent, instead of obeying the +orders we had to land me and this renegade in Christian dress (with which +we came provided) on the first Spanish ground we came to, chose to run +along the coast and make some prize if they could, fearing that if they +put us ashore first, we might, in case of some accident befalling us, +make it known that the brigantine was at sea, and thus, if there happened +to be any galleys on the coast, they might be taken. We sighted this +shore last night, and knowing nothing of these galleys, we were +discovered, and the result was what you have seen. To sum up, there is +Don Gregorio in woman's dress, among women, in imminent danger of his +life; and here am I, with hands bound, in expectation, or rather in +dread, of losing my life, of which I am already weary. Here, sirs, ends +my sad story, as true as it is unhappy; all I ask of you is to allow me +to die like a Christian, for, as I have already said, I am not to be +charged with the offence of which those of my nation are guilty;" and she +stood silent, her eyes filled with moving tears, accompanied by plenty +from the bystanders. The viceroy, touched with compassion, went up to her +without speaking and untied the cord that bound the hands of the Moorish +girl. + +But all the while the Morisco Christian was telling her strange story, an +elderly pilgrim, who had come on board of the galley at the same time as +the viceroy, kept his eyes fixed upon her; and the instant she ceased +speaking he threw himself at her feet, and embracing them said in a voice +broken by sobs and sighs, "O Ana Felix, my unhappy daughter, I am thy +father Ricote, come back to look for thee, unable to live without thee, +my soul that thou art!" + +At these words of his, Sancho opened his eyes and raised his head, which +he had been holding down, brooding over his unlucky excursion; and +looking at the pilgrim he recognised in him that same Ricote he met the +day he quitted his government, and felt satisfied that this was his +daughter. She being now unbound embraced her father, mingling her tears +with his, while he addressing the general and the viceroy said, "This, +sirs, is my daughter, more unhappy in her adventures than in her name. +She is Ana Felix, surnamed Ricote, celebrated as much for her own beauty +as for my wealth. I quitted my native land in search of some shelter or +refuge for us abroad, and having found one in Germany I returned in this +pilgrim's dress, in the company of some other German pilgrims, to seek my +daughter and take up a large quantity of treasure I had left buried. My +daughter I did not find, the treasure I found and have with me; and now, +in this strange roundabout way you have seen, I find the treasure that +more than all makes me rich, my beloved daughter. If our innocence and +her tears and mine can with strict justice open the door to clemency, +extend it to us, for we never had any intention of injuring you, nor do +we sympathise with the aims of our people, who have been justly +banished." + +"I know Ricote well," said Sancho at this, "and I know too that what he +says about Ana Felix being his daughter is true; but as to those other +particulars about going and coming, and having good or bad intentions, I +say nothing." + +While all present stood amazed at this strange occurrence the general +said, "At any rate your tears will not allow me to keep my oath; live, +fair Ana Felix, all the years that heaven has allotted you; but these +rash insolent fellows must pay the penalty of the crime they have +committed;" and with that he gave orders to have the two Turks who had +killed his two soldiers hanged at once at the yard-arm. The viceroy, +however, begged him earnestly not to hang them, as their behaviour +savoured rather of madness than of bravado. The general yielded to the +viceroy's request, for revenge is not easily taken in cold blood. They +then tried to devise some scheme for rescuing Don Gaspar Gregorio from +the danger in which he had been left. Ricote offered for that object more +than two thousand ducats that he had in pearls and gems; they proposed +several plans, but none so good as that suggested by the renegade already +mentioned, who offered to return to Algiers in a small vessel of about +six banks, manned by Christian rowers, as he knew where, how, and when he +could and should land, nor was he ignorant of the house in which Don +Gaspar was staying. The general and the viceroy had some hesitation about +placing confidence in the renegade and entrusting him with the Christians +who were to row, but Ana Felix said she could answer for him, and her +father offered to go and pay the ransom of the Christians if by any +chance they should not be forthcoming. This, then, being agreed upon, the +viceroy landed, and Don Antonio Moreno took the fair Morisco and her +father home with him, the viceroy charging him to give them the best +reception and welcome in his power, while on his own part he offered all +that house contained for their entertainment; so great was the good-will +and kindliness the beauty of Ana Felix had infused into his heart. + + + + +CHAPTER LXIV. + +TREATING OF THE ADVENTURE WHICH GAVE DON QUIXOTE MORE UNHAPPINESS THAN +ALL THAT HAD HITHERTO BEFALLEN HIM + + +The wife of Don Antonio Moreno, so the history says, was extremely happy +to see Ana Felix in her house. She welcomed her with great kindness, +charmed as well by her beauty as by her intelligence; for in both +respects the fair Morisco was richly endowed, and all the people of the +city flocked to see her as though they had been summoned by the ringing +of the bells. + +Don Quixote told Don Antonio that the plan adopted for releasing Don +Gregorio was not a good one, for its risks were greater than its +advantages, and that it would be better to land himself with his arms and +horse in Barbary; for he would carry him off in spite of the whole +Moorish host, as Don Gaiferos carried off his wife Melisendra. + +"Remember, your worship," observed Sancho on hearing him say so, "Senor +Don Gaiferos carried off his wife from the mainland, and took her to +France by land; but in this case, if by chance we carry off Don Gregorio, +we have no way of bringing him to Spain, for there's the sea between." + +"There's a remedy for everything except death," said Don Quixote; "if +they bring the vessel close to the shore we shall be able to get on board +though all the world strive to prevent us." + +"Your worship hits it off mighty well and mighty easy," said Sancho; "but +'it's a long step from saying to doing;' and I hold to the renegade, for +he seems to me an honest good-hearted fellow." + +Don Antonio then said that if the renegade did not prove successful, the +expedient of the great Don Quixote's expedition to Barbary should be +adopted. Two days afterwards the renegade put to sea in a light vessel of +six oars a-side manned by a stout crew, and two days later the galleys +made sail eastward, the general having begged the viceroy to let him know +all about the release of Don Gregorio and about Ana Felix, and the +viceroy promised to do as he requested. + +One morning as Don Quixote went out for a stroll along the beach, arrayed +in full armour (for, as he often said, that was "his only gear, his only +rest the fray," and he never was without it for a moment), he saw coming +towards him a knight, also in full armour, with a shining moon painted on +his shield, who, on approaching sufficiently near to be heard, said in a +loud voice, addressing himself to Don Quixote, "Illustrious knight, and +never sufficiently extolled Don Quixote of La Mancha, I am the Knight of +the White Moon, whose unheard-of achievements will perhaps have recalled +him to thy memory. I come to do battle with thee and prove the might of +thy arm, to the end that I make thee acknowledge and confess that my +lady, let her be who she may, is incomparably fairer than thy Dulcinea +del Toboso. If thou dost acknowledge this fairly and openly, thou shalt +escape death and save me the trouble of inflicting it upon thee; if thou +fightest and I vanquish thee, I demand no other satisfaction than that, +laying aside arms and abstaining from going in quest of adventures, thou +withdraw and betake thyself to thine own village for the space of a year, +and live there without putting hand to sword, in peace and quiet and +beneficial repose, the same being needful for the increase of thy +substance and the salvation of thy soul; and if thou dost vanquish me, my +head shall be at thy disposal, my arms and horse thy spoils, and the +renown of my deeds transferred and added to thine. Consider which will be +thy best course, and give me thy answer speedily, for this day is all the +time I have for the despatch of this business." + +Don Quixote was amazed and astonished, as well at the Knight of the White +Moon's arrogance, as at his reason for delivering the defiance, and with +calm dignity he answered him, "Knight of the White Moon, of whose +achievements I have never heard until now, I will venture to swear you +have never seen the illustrious Dulcinea; for had you seen her I know you +would have taken care not to venture yourself upon this issue, because +the sight would have removed all doubt from your mind that there ever has +been or can be a beauty to be compared with hers; and so, not saying you +lie, but merely that you are not correct in what you state, I accept your +challenge, with the conditions you have proposed, and at once, that the +day you have fixed may not expire; and from your conditions I except only +that of the renown of your achievements being transferred to me, for I +know not of what sort they are nor what they may amount to; I am +satisfied with my own, such as they be. Take, therefore, the side of the +field you choose, and I will do the same; and to whom God shall give it +may Saint Peter add his blessing." + +The Knight of the White Moon had been seen from the city, and it was told +the viceroy how he was in conversation with Don Quixote. The viceroy, +fancying it must be some fresh adventure got up by Don Antonio Moreno or +some other gentleman of the city, hurried out at once to the beach +accompanied by Don Antonio and several other gentlemen, just as Don +Quixote was wheeling Rocinante round in order to take up the necessary +distance. The viceroy upon this, seeing that the pair of them were +evidently preparing to come to the charge, put himself between them, +asking them what it was that led them to engage in combat all of a sudden +in this way. The Knight of the White Moon replied that it was a question +of precedence of beauty; and briefly told him what he had said to Don +Quixote, and how the conditions of the defiance agreed upon on both sides +had been accepted. The viceroy went over to Don Antonio, and asked in a +low voice did he know who the Knight of the White Moon was, or was it +some joke they were playing on Don Quixote. Don Antonio replied that he +neither knew who he was nor whether the defiance was in joke or in +earnest. This answer left the viceroy in a state of perplexity, not +knowing whether he ought to let the combat go on or not; but unable to +persuade himself that it was anything but a joke he fell back, saying, +"If there be no other way out of it, gallant knights, except to confess +or die, and Don Quixote is inflexible, and your worship of the White Moon +still more so, in God's hand be it, and fall on." + +He of the White Moon thanked the viceroy in courteous and well-chosen +words for the permission he gave them, and so did Don Quixote, who then, +commending himself with all his heart to heaven and to his Dulcinea, as +was his custom on the eve of any combat that awaited him, proceeded to +take a little more distance, as he saw his antagonist was doing the same; +then, without blast of trumpet or other warlike instrument to give them +the signal to charge, both at the same instant wheeled their horses; and +he of the White Moon, being the swifter, met Don Quixote after having +traversed two-thirds of the course, and there encountered him with such +violence that, without touching him with his lance (for he held it high, +to all appearance purposely), he hurled Don Quixote and Rocinante to the +earth, a perilous fall. He sprang upon him at once, and placing the lance +over his visor said to him, "You are vanquished, sir knight, nay dead +unless you admit the conditions of our defiance." + +Don Quixote, bruised and stupefied, without raising his visor said in a +weak feeble voice as if he were speaking out of a tomb, "Dulcinea del +Toboso is the fairest woman in the world, and I the most unfortunate +knight on earth; it is not fitting that this truth should suffer by my +feebleness; drive your lance home, sir knight, and take my life, since +you have taken away my honour." + +"That will I not, in sooth," said he of the White Moon; "live the fame of +the lady Dulcinea's beauty undimmed as ever; all I require is that the +great Don Quixote retire to his own home for a year, or for so long a +time as shall by me be enjoined upon him, as we agreed before engaging in +this combat." + +The viceroy, Don Antonio, and several others who were present heard all +this, and heard too how Don Quixote replied that so long as nothing in +prejudice of Dulcinea was demanded of him, he would observe all the rest +like a true and loyal knight. The engagement given, he of the White Moon +wheeled about, and making obeisance to the viceroy with a movement of the +head, rode away into the city at a half gallop. The viceroy bade Don +Antonio hasten after him, and by some means or other find out who he was. +They raised Don Quixote up and uncovered his face, and found him pale and +bathed with sweat. + +Rocinante from the mere hard measure he had received lay unable to stir +for the present. Sancho, wholly dejected and woebegone, knew not what to +say or do. He fancied that all was a dream, that the whole business was a +piece of enchantment. Here was his master defeated, and bound not to take +up arms for a year. He saw the light of the glory of his achievements +obscured; the hopes of the promises lately made him swept away like smoke +before the wind; Rocinante, he feared, was crippled for life, and his +master's bones out of joint; for if he were only shaken out of his +madness it would be no small luck. In the end they carried him into the +city in a hand-chair which the viceroy sent for, and thither the viceroy +himself returned, cager to ascertain who this Knight of the White Moon +was who had left Don Quixote in such a sad plight. + + + + +CHAPTER LXV. + +WHEREIN IS MADE KNOWN WHO THE KNIGHT OF THE WHITE MOON WAS; LIKEWISE DON +GREGORIO'S RELEASE, AND OTHER EVENTS + + +Don Antonia Moreno followed the Knight of the White Moon, and a number of +boys followed him too, nay pursued him, until they had him fairly housed +in a hostel in the heart of the city. Don Antonio, eager to make his +acquaintance, entered also; a squire came out to meet him and remove his +armour, and he shut himself into a lower room, still attended by Don +Antonio, whose bread would not bake until he had found out who he was. He +of the White Moon, seeing then that the gentleman would not leave him, +said, "I know very well, senor, what you have come for; it is to find out +who I am; and as there is no reason why I should conceal it from you, +while my servant here is taking off my armour I will tell you the true +state of the case, without leaving out anything. You must know, senor, +that I am called the bachelor Samson Carrasco. I am of the same village +as Don Quixote of La Mancha, whose craze and folly make all of us who +know him feel pity for him, and I am one of those who have felt it most; +and persuaded that his chance of recovery lay in quiet and keeping at +home and in his own house, I hit upon a device for keeping him there. +Three months ago, therefore, I went out to meet him as a knight-errant, +under the assumed name of the Knight of the Mirrors, intending to engage +him in combat and overcome him without hurting him, making it the +condition of our combat that the vanquished should be at the disposal of +the victor. What I meant to demand of him (for I regarded him as +vanquished already) was that he should return to his own village, and not +leave it for a whole year, by which time he might be cured. But fate +ordered it otherwise, for he vanquished me and unhorsed me, and so my +plan failed. He went his way, and I came back conquered, covered with +shame, and sorely bruised by my fall, which was a particularly dangerous +one. But this did not quench my desire to meet him again and overcome +him, as you have seen to-day. And as he is so scrupulous in his +observance of the laws of knight-errantry, he will, no doubt, in order to +keep his word, obey the injunction I have laid upon him. This, senor, is +how the matter stands, and I have nothing more to tell you. I implore of +you not to betray me, or tell Don Quixote who I am; so that my honest +endeavours may be successful, and that a man of excellent wits--were he +only rid of the fooleries of chivalry--may get them back again." + +"O senor," said Don Antonio, "may God forgive you the wrong you have done +the whole world in trying to bring the most amusing madman in it back to +his senses. Do you not see, senor, that the gain by Don Quixote's sanity +can never equal the enjoyment his crazes give? But my belief is that all +the senor bachelor's pains will be of no avail to bring a man so +hopelessly cracked to his senses again; and if it were not uncharitable, +I would say may Don Quixote never be cured, for by his recovery we lose +not only his own drolleries, but his squire Sancho Panza's too, any one +of which is enough to turn melancholy itself into merriment. However, +I'll hold my peace and say nothing to him, and we'll see whether I am +right in my suspicion that Senor Carrasco's efforts will be fruitless." + +The bachelor replied that at all events the affair promised well, and he +hoped for a happy result from it; and putting his services at Don +Antonio's commands he took his leave of him; and having had his armour +packed at once upon a mule, he rode away from the city the same day on +the horse he rode to battle, and returned to his own country without +meeting any adventure calling for record in this veracious history. + +Don Antonio reported to the viceroy what Carrasco told him, and the +viceroy was not very well pleased to hear it, for with Don Quixote's +retirement there was an end to the amusement of all who knew anything of +his mad doings. + +Six days did Don Quixote keep his bed, dejected, melancholy, moody and +out of sorts, brooding over the unhappy event of his defeat. Sancho +strove to comfort him, and among other things he said to him, "Hold up +your head, senor, and be of good cheer if you can, and give thanks to +heaven that if you have had a tumble to the ground you have not come off +with a broken rib; and, as you know that 'where they give they take,' and +that 'there are not always fletches where there are pegs,' a fig for the +doctor, for there's no need of him to cure this ailment. Let us go home, +and give over going about in search of adventures in strange lands and +places; rightly looked at, it is I that am the greater loser, though it +is your worship that has had the worse usage. With the government I gave +up all wish to be a governor again, but I did not give up all longing to +be a count; and that will never come to pass if your worship gives up +becoming a king by renouncing the calling of chivalry; and so my hopes +are going to turn into smoke." + +"Peace, Sancho," said Don Quixote; "thou seest my suspension and +retirement is not to exceed a year; I shall soon return to my honoured +calling, and I shall not be at a loss for a kingdom to win and a county +to bestow on thee." + +"May God hear it and sin be deaf," said Sancho; "I have always heard say +that 'a good hope is better than a bad holding." + +As they were talking Don Antonio came in looking extremely pleased and +exclaiming, "Reward me for my good news, Senor Don Quixote! Don Gregorio +and the renegade who went for him have come ashore--ashore do I say? They +are by this time in the viceroy's house, and will be here immediately." + +Don Quixote cheered up a little and said, "Of a truth I am almost ready +to say I should have been glad had it turned out just the other way, for +it would have obliged me to cross over to Barbary, where by the might of +my arm I should have restored to liberty, not only Don Gregorio, but all +the Christian captives there are in Barbary. But what am I saying, +miserable being that I am? Am I not he that has been conquered? Am I not +he that has been overthrown? Am I not he who must not take up arms for a +year? Then what am I making professions for; what am I bragging about; +when it is fitter for me to handle the distaff than the sword?" + +"No more of that, senor," said Sancho; "'let the hen live, even though it +be with her pip; 'today for thee and to-morrow for me;' in these affairs +of encounters and whacks one must not mind them, for he that falls to-day +may get up to-morrow; unless indeed he chooses to lie in bed, I mean +gives way to weakness and does not pluck up fresh spirit for fresh +battles; let your worship get up now to receive Don Gregorio; for the +household seems to be in a bustle, and no doubt he has come by this +time;" and so it proved, for as soon as Don Gregorio and the renegade had +given the viceroy an account of the voyage out and home, Don Gregorio, +eager to see Ana Felix, came with the renegade to Don Antonio's house. +When they carried him away from Algiers he was in woman's dress; on board +the vessel, however, he exchanged it for that of a captive who escaped +with him; but in whatever dress he might be he looked like one to be +loved and served and esteemed, for he was surpassingly well-favoured, and +to judge by appearances some seventeen or eighteen years of age. Ricote +and his daughter came out to welcome him, the father with tears, the +daughter with bashfulness. They did not embrace each other, for where +there is deep love there will never be overmuch boldness. Seen side by +side, the comeliness of Don Gregorio and the beauty of Ana Felix were the +admiration of all who were present. It was silence that spoke for the +lovers at that moment, and their eyes were the tongues that declared +their pure and happy feelings. The renegade explained the measures and +means he had adopted to rescue Don Gregorio, and Don Gregorio at no great +length, but in a few words, in which he showed that his intelligence was +in advance of his years, described the peril and embarrassment he found +himself in among the women with whom he had sojourned. To conclude, +Ricote liberally recompensed and rewarded as well the renegade as the men +who had rowed; and the renegade effected his readmission into the body of +the Church and was reconciled with it, and from a rotten limb became by +penance and repentance a clean and sound one. + +Two days later the viceroy discussed with Don Antonio the steps they +should take to enable Ana Felix and her father to stay in Spain, for it +seemed to them there could be no objection to a daughter who was so good +a Christian and a father to all appearance so well disposed remaining +there. Don Antonio offered to arrange the matter at the capital, whither +he was compelled to go on some other business, hinting that many a +difficult affair was settled there with the help of favour and bribes. + +"Nay," said Ricote, who was present during the conversation, "it will not +do to rely upon favour or bribes, because with the great Don Bernardino +de Velasco, Conde de Salazar, to whom his Majesty has entrusted our +expulsion, neither entreaties nor promises, bribes nor appeals to +compassion, are of any use; for though it is true he mingles mercy with +justice, still, seeing that the whole body of our nation is tainted and +corrupt, he applies to it the cautery that burns rather than the salve +that soothes; and thus, by prudence, sagacity, care and the fear he +inspires, he has borne on his mighty shoulders the weight of this great +policy and carried it into effect, all our schemes and plots, +importunities and wiles, being ineffectual to blind his Argus eyes, ever +on the watch lest one of us should remain behind in concealment, and like +a hidden root come in course of time to sprout and bear poisonous fruit +in Spain, now cleansed, and relieved of the fear in which our vast +numbers kept it. Heroic resolve of the great Philip the Third, and +unparalleled wisdom to have entrusted it to the said Don Bernardino de +Velasco!" + +"At any rate," said Don Antonio, "when I am there I will make all +possible efforts, and let heaven do as pleases it best; Don Gregorio will +come with me to relieve the anxiety which his parents must be suffering +on account of his absence; Ana Felix will remain in my house with my +wife, or in a monastery; and I know the viceroy will be glad that the +worthy Ricote should stay with him until we see what terms I can make." + +The viceroy agreed to all that was proposed; but Don Gregorio on learning +what had passed declared he could not and would not on any account leave +Ana Felix; however, as it was his purpose to go and see his parents and +devise some way of returning for her, he fell in with the proposed +arrangement. Ana Felix remained with Don Antonio's wife, and Ricote in +the viceroy's house. + +The day for Don Antonio's departure came; and two days later that for Don +Quixote's and Sancho's, for Don Quixote's fall did not suffer him to take +the road sooner. There were tears and sighs, swoonings and sobs, at the +parting between Don Gregorio and Ana Felix. Ricote offered Don Gregorio a +thousand crowns if he would have them, but he would not take any save +five which Don Antonio lent him and he promised to repay at the capital. +So the two of them took their departure, and Don Quixote and Sancho +afterwards, as has been already said, Don Quixote without his armour and +in travelling gear, and Sancho on foot, Dapple being loaded with the +armour. + + + + +CHAPTER LXVI. + +WHICH TREATS OF WHAT HE WHO READS WILL SEE, OR WHAT HE WHO HAS IT READ TO +HIM WILL HEAR + + +As he left Barcelona, Don Quixote turned gaze upon the spot where he had +fallen. "Here Troy was," said he; "here my ill-luck, not my cowardice, +robbed me of all the glory I had won; here Fortune made me the victim of +her caprices; here the lustre of my achievements was dimmed; here, in a +word, fell my happiness never to rise again." + +"Senor," said Sancho on hearing this, "it is the part of brave hearts to +be patient in adversity just as much as to be glad in prosperity; I judge +by myself, for, if when I was a governor I was glad, now that I am a +squire and on foot I am not sad; and I have heard say that she whom +commonly they call Fortune is a drunken whimsical jade, and, what is +more, blind, and therefore neither sees what she does, nor knows whom she +casts down or whom she sets up." + +"Thou art a great philosopher, Sancho," said Don Quixote; "thou speakest +very sensibly; I know not who taught thee. But I can tell thee there is +no such thing as Fortune in the world, nor does anything which takes +place there, be it good or bad, come about by chance, but by the special +preordination of heaven; and hence the common saying that 'each of us is +the maker of his own Fortune.' I have been that of mine; but not with the +proper amount of prudence, and my self-confidence has therefore made me +pay dearly; for I ought to have reflected that Rocinante's feeble +strength could not resist the mighty bulk of the Knight of the White +Moon's horse. In a word, I ventured it, I did my best, I was overthrown, +but though I lost my honour I did not lose nor can I lose the virtue of +keeping my word. When I was a knight-errant, daring and valiant, I +supported my achievements by hand and deed, and now that I am a humble +squire I will support my words by keeping the promise I have given. +Forward then, Sancho my friend, let us go to keep the year of the +novitiate in our own country, and in that seclusion we shall pick up +fresh strength to return to the by me never-forgotten calling of arms." + +"Senor," returned Sancho, "travelling on foot is not such a pleasant +thing that it makes me feel disposed or tempted to make long marches. Let +us leave this armour hung up on some tree, instead of some one that has +been hanged; and then with me on Dapple's back and my feet off the ground +we will arrange the stages as your worship pleases to measure them out; +but to suppose that I am going to travel on foot, and make long ones, is +to suppose nonsense." + +"Thou sayest well, Sancho," said Don Quixote; "let my armour be hung up +for a trophy, and under it or round it we will carve on the trees what +was inscribed on the trophy of Roland's armour-- + +These let none move +Who dareth not his might with Roland prove." + +"That's the very thing," said Sancho; "and if it was not that we should +feel the want of Rocinante on the road, it would be as well to leave him +hung up too." + +"And yet, I had rather not have either him or the armour hung up," said +Don Quixote, "that it may not be said, 'for good service a bad return.'" + +"Your worship is right," said Sancho; "for, as sensible people hold, 'the +fault of the ass must not be laid on the pack-saddle;' and, as in this +affair the fault is your worship's, punish yourself and don't let your +anger break out against the already battered and bloody armour, or the +meekness of Rocinante, or the tenderness of my feet, trying to make them +travel more than is reasonable." + +In converse of this sort the whole of that day went by, as did the four +succeeding ones, without anything occurring to interrupt their journey, +but on the fifth as they entered a village they found a great number of +people at the door of an inn enjoying themselves, as it was a holiday. +Upon Don Quixote's approach a peasant called out, "One of these two +gentlemen who come here, and who don't know the parties, will tell us +what we ought to do about our wager." + +"That I will, certainly," said Don Quixote, "and according to the rights +of the case, if I can manage to understand it." + +"Well, here it is, worthy sir," said the peasant; "a man of this village +who is so fat that he weighs twenty stone challenged another, a neighbour +of his, who does not weigh more than nine, to run a race. The agreement +was that they were to run a distance of a hundred paces with equal +weights; and when the challenger was asked how the weights were to be +equalised he said that the other, as he weighed nine stone, should put +eleven in iron on his back, and that in this way the twenty stone of the +thin man would equal the twenty stone of the fat one." + +"Not at all," exclaimed Sancho at once, before Don Quixote could answer; +"it's for me, that only a few days ago left off being a governor and a +judge, as all the world knows, to settle these doubtful questions and +give an opinion in disputes of all sorts." + +"Answer in God's name, Sancho my friend," said Don Quixote, "for I am not +fit to give crumbs to a cat, my wits are so confused and upset." + +With this permission Sancho said to the peasants who stood clustered +round him, waiting with open mouths for the decision to come from his, +"Brothers, what the fat man requires is not in reason, nor has it a +shadow of justice in it; because, if it be true, as they say, that the +challenged may choose the weapons, the other has no right to choose such +as will prevent and keep him from winning. My decision, therefore, is +that the fat challenger prune, peel, thin, trim and correct himself, and +take eleven stone of his flesh off his body, here or there, as he +pleases, and as suits him best; and being in this way reduced to nine +stone weight, he will make himself equal and even with nine stone of his +opponent, and they will be able to run on equal terms." + +"By all that's good," said one of the peasants as he heard Sancho's +decision, "but the gentleman has spoken like a saint, and given judgment +like a canon! But I'll be bound the fat man won't part with an ounce of +his flesh, not to say eleven stone." + +"The best plan will be for them not to run," said another, "so that +neither the thin man break down under the weight, nor the fat one strip +himself of his flesh; let half the wager be spent in wine, and let's take +these gentlemen to the tavern where there's the best, and 'over me be the +cloak when it rains." + +"I thank you, sirs," said Don Quixote; "but I cannot stop for an instant, +for sad thoughts and unhappy circumstances force me to seem discourteous +and to travel apace;" and spurring Rocinante he pushed on, leaving them +wondering at what they had seen and heard, at his own strange figure and +at the shrewdness of his servant, for such they took Sancho to be; and +another of them observed, "If the servant is so clever, what must the +master be? I'll bet, if they are going to Salamanca to study, they'll +come to be alcaldes of the Court in a trice; for it's a mere joke--only +to read and read, and have interest and good luck; and before a man knows +where he is he finds himself with a staff in his hand or a mitre on his +head." + +That night master and man passed out in the fields in the open air, and +the next day as they were pursuing their journey they saw coming towards +them a man on foot with alforjas at the neck and a javelin or spiked +staff in his hand, the very cut of a foot courier; who, as soon as he +came close to Don Quixote, increased his pace and half running came up to +him, and embracing his right thigh, for he could reach no higher, +exclaimed with evident pleasure, "O Senor Don Quixote of La Mancha, what +happiness it will be to the heart of my lord the duke when he knows your +worship is coming back to his castle, for he is still there with my lady +the duchess!" + +"I do not recognise you, friend," said Don Quixote, "nor do I know who +you are, unless you tell me." + +"I am Tosilos, my lord the duke's lacquey, Senor Don Quixote," replied +the courier; "he who refused to fight your worship about marrying the +daughter of Dona Rodriguez." + +"God bless me!" exclaimed Don Quixote; "is it possible that you are the +one whom mine enemies the enchanters changed into the lacquey you speak +of in order to rob me of the honour of that battle?" + +"Nonsense, good sir!" said the messenger; "there was no enchantment or +transformation at all; I entered the lists just as much lacquey Tosilos +as I came out of them lacquey Tosilos. I thought to marry without +fighting, for the girl had taken my fancy; but my scheme had a very +different result, for as soon as your worship had left the castle my lord +the duke had a hundred strokes of the stick given me for having acted +contrary to the orders he gave me before engaging in the combat; and the +end of the whole affair is that the girl has become a nun, and Dona +Rodriguez has gone back to Castile, and I am now on my way to Barcelona +with a packet of letters for the viceroy which my master is sending him. +If your worship would like a drop, sound though warm, I have a gourd here +full of the best, and some scraps of Tronchon cheese that will serve as a +provocative and wakener of your thirst if so be it is asleep." + +"I take the offer," said Sancho; "no more compliments about it; pour out, +good Tosilos, in spite of all the enchanters in the Indies." + +"Thou art indeed the greatest glutton in the world, Sancho," said Don +Quixote, "and the greatest booby on earth, not to be able to see that +this courier is enchanted and this Tosilos a sham one; stop with him and +take thy fill; I will go on slowly and wait for thee to come up with me." + +The lacquey laughed, unsheathed his gourd, unwalletted his scraps, and +taking out a small loaf of bread he and Sancho seated themselves on the +green grass, and in peace and good fellowship finished off the contents +of the alforjas down to the bottom, so resolutely that they licked the +wrapper of the letters, merely because it smelt of cheese. + +Said Tosilos to Sancho, "Beyond a doubt, Sancho my friend, this master of +thine ought to be a madman." + +"Ought!" said Sancho; "he owes no man anything; he pays for everything, +particularly when the coin is madness. I see it plain enough, and I tell +him so plain enough; but what's the use? especially now that it is all +over with him, for here he is beaten by the Knight of the White Moon." + +Tosilos begged him to explain what had happened him, but Sancho replied +that it would not be good manners to leave his master waiting for him; +and that some other day if they met there would be time enough for that; +and then getting up, after shaking his doublet and brushing the crumbs +out of his beard, he drove Dapple on before him, and bidding adieu to +Tosilos left him and rejoined his master, who was waiting for him under +the shade of a tree. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The History of Don Quixote, Vol. II., +Part 39, by Miguel de Cervantes + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK DON QUIXOTE, PART 39 *** + +***** This file should be named 5942.txt or 5942.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/5/9/4/5942/ + +Produced by David Widger + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

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 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.
