Question

But the ready-witted Dorothea, who by this time so well understood Don Quixote's humour, said, to mollify his wrath, "Be not irritated at the absurdities your good squire has uttered, Sir Knight of the Rueful Countenance, for perhaps he did not utter them without cause, and from his good sense and Christian conscience it is not likely that he would bear false witness against anyone. We may therefore believe, without any hesitation, that since, as you say, sir knight, everything in this castle goes and is brought about by means of enchantment, Sancho, I say, may possibly have seen, through this diabolical medium, what he says he saw so much to the detriment of my modesty."

Accepted Answer

Pero la discreta Dorotea, que tan entendido tenía ya el humor de don Quijote, dijo, para templarle la ira: -No os despechéis, señor Caballero de la Triste Figura, de las sandeces que vuestro buen escudero ha dicho, porque quizá no las debe de decir sin ocasión, ni de su buen entendimiento y cristiana conciencia se puede sospechar que levante testimonio a nadie; y así, se ha de creer, sin poner duda en ello, que, como en este castillo, según vos, señor caballero, decís, todas las cosas van y suceden por modo de encantamento, podría ser, digo, que Sancho hubiese visto por esta diabólica vía lo que él dice que vio, tan en ofensa de mi honestidad.
