Question

"There's the tail to be skinned yet," said Sancho; "all so far is cakes and fancy bread; but if your worship wants to know all about the calumnies they bring against you, I will fetch you one this instant who can tell you the whole of them without missing an atom; for last night the son of Bartholomew Carrasco, who has been studying at Salamanca, came home after having been made a bachelor, and when I went to welcome him, he told me that your worship's history is already abroad in books, with the title of THE INGENIOUS GENTLEMAN DON QUIXOTE OF LA MANCHA; and he says they mention me in it by my own name of Sancho Panza, and the lady Dulcinea del Toboso too, and divers things that happened to us when we were alone; so that I crossed myself in my wonder how the historian who wrote them down could have known them."

Accepted Answer

-Aún la cola falta por desollar -dijo Sancho-. Lo de hasta aquí son tortas y pan pintado; mas si vuestra merced quiere saber todo lo que hay acerca de las caloñas que le ponen, yo le traeré aquí luego al momento quien se las diga todas, sin que les falte una meaja; que anoche llegó el hijo de Bartolomé Carrasco, que viene de estudiar de Salamanca, hecho bachiller, y, yéndole yo a dar la bienvenida, me dijo que andaba ya en libros la historia de vuestra merced, con nombre del Ingenioso Hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha; y dice que me mientan a mí en ella con mi mesmo nombre de Sancho Panza, y a la señora Dulcinea del Toboso, con otras cosas que pasamos nosotros a solas, que me hice cruces de espantado cómo las pudo saber el historiador que las escribió.
