Y De La El En Con Don Sancho

Back The duke, duchess, and Don Quixote had reached this point in their conversation, when they heard voices and a great hubbub in the palace, and Sancho burst abruptly into the room all glowing with anger, with a straining-cloth by way of a bib, and followed by several servants, or, more properly speaking, kitchen-boys and other underlings, one of whom carried a small trough full of water, that from its colour and impurity was plainly dishwater. The one with the trough pursued him and followed him everywhere he went, endeavouring with the utmost persistence to thrust it under his chin, while another kitchen-boy seemed anxious to wash his beard.
Front A este punto llegaban de su coloquio el duque, la duquesa y don Quijote, cuando oyeron muchas voces y gran rumor de gente en el palacio; y a deshora entró Sancho en la sala, todo asustado, con un cernadero por babador, y tras él muchos mozos, o, por mejor decir, pícaros de cocina y otra gente menuda, y uno venía con un artesoncillo de agua, que en la color y poca limpieza mostraba ser de fregar; seguíale y perseguíale el de la artesa, y procuraba con toda solicitud ponérsela y encajársela debajo de las barbas, y otro pícaro mostraba querérselas lavar.
