Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Valorous Witty Knight-Errant, Vol. 2 of 3: Don Quixote of the Mancha
Cardenio and the curate had not taken him away, he would doubtlessly have finished the war of the giant; and get with all this did not the poor knifght awake, until the arber brought in a great kettle full 0 cold water from the well, and threw it all at a clap upon him, and therewithal Don Quixote awaked, but not in such sort as he perceived the manner wherein he was. Dorothea, seeing how short and how thin her champion was arrayed, would not go in to see the conflict of her combatant and his adversary. Sancho went up and down the floor searching for the giant's head, and seeing that he could not hnd it he said, Now I do see very well that all the things of this house are enchantments, for the last time that I was here, in this very same room, I got many blows and buffets, and knew not who did strike me, nor could I see any body and now the head appears not, which I saw cut off with mine own eyes, and yet the blood ran as swift] from the body as water would from a fountain.' What lood, or what foun tain dost thou tattle of here, thou enemy of God and His saints quoth the innkeeper. Thou thief, dost thou not see that the blood and the fountain is no other thing than these Wine-bags which are slashed here, and the wine red that swims up and down this chamber And I wish that I may see his soul swimming in hell which did bore them I 'i know nothing,' replied Sancho, but this, that if I cannot hnd the giant's head, I shall become so unfortunate, as mine earldom will dissolve like salt cast into water.' And certes, Sancho awake was in worse case than his master sleeping, so much had his lord's promises distracted him. The innkeeper, on the other side, was at his wits' end, to see the humour of the squire and unhappi ness of his lord, and swore that it should not succeed with them now as it had done the other time, when they went away without payment; and that now the privileges of chivalry should not any whit avail him, but he should surely pay both the one and the other - yea, even for the very patches that were to be set on the bored wine-bags.
