Question

"Things do not all happen in the same way," answered Don Quixote; "it all came, Sir Bachelor Alonzo Lopez, of your going, as you did, by night, dressed in those surplices, with lighted torches, praying, covered with mourning, so that naturally you looked like something evil and of the other world; and so I could not avoid doing my duty in attacking you, and I should have attacked you even had I known positively that you were the very devils of hell, for such I certainly believed and took you to be."

Accepted Answer

-No todas las cosas -respondió don Quijote- suceden de un mismo modo. El daño estuvo, señor bachiller Alonso López, en venir, como veníades, de noche, vestidos con aquellas sobrepellices, con las hachas encendidas, rezando, cubiertos de luto, que propiamente semejábades cosa mala y del otro mundo; y así, yo no pude dejar de cumplir con mi obligación acometiéndoos, y os acometiera aunque verdaderamente supiera que érades los memos satanases del infierno, que por tales os juzgué y tuve siempre.
