| Back | The illustrious company had now been two days in the inn; and as it seemed to them time to depart, they devised a plan so that, without giving Dorothea and Don Fernando the trouble of going back with Don Quixote to his village under pretence of restoring Queen Micomicona, the curate and the barber might carry him away with them as they proposed, and the curate be able to take his madness in hand at home; and in pursuance of their plan they arranged with the owner of an oxcart who happened to be passing that way to carry him after this fashion. They constructed a kind of cage with wooden bars, large enough to hold Don Quixote comfortably; and then Don Fernando and his companions, the servants of Don Luis, and the officers of the Brotherhood, together with the landlord, by the directions and advice of the curate, covered their faces and disguised themselves, some in one way, some in another, so as to appear to Don Quixote quite different from the persons he had seen in the castle. |

| Front | Dos días eran ya pasados los que había que toda aquella ilustre compañía estaba en la venta; y, pareciéndoles que ya era tiempo de partirse, dieron orden para que, sin ponerse al trabajo de volver Dorotea y don Fernando con don Quijote a su aldea, con la invención de la libertad de la reina Micomicona, pudiesen el cura y el barbero llevársele, como deseaban, y procurar la cura de su locura en su tierra. Y lo que ordenaron fue que se concertaron con un carretero de bueyes que acaso acertó a pasar por allí, para que lo llevase en esta forma: hicieron una como jaula de palos enrejados, capaz que pudiese en ella caber holgadamente don Quijote; y luego don Fernando y sus camaradas, con los criados de don Luis y los cuadrilleros, juntamente con el ventero, todos por orden y parecer del cura, se cubrieron los rostros y se disfrazaron, quién de una manera y quién de otra, de modo que a don Quijote le pareciese ser otra gente de la que en aquel castillo había visto. |
