| Back | Upon this, the duchess, laughing all the while, said, "Sancho Panza is right, and always will be in all he says; he is clean, and, as he says himself, he does not require to be washed; and if our ways do not please him, he is free to choose. Besides, you promoters of cleanliness have been excessively careless and thoughtless, I don't know if I ought not to say audacious, to bring troughs and wooden utensils and kitchen dishclouts, instead of basins and jugs of pure gold and towels of holland, to such a person and such a beard; but, after all, you are ill-conditioned and ill-bred, and spiteful as you are, you cannot help showing the grudge you have against the squires of knights-errant." |

| Front | A esta sazón, sin dejar la risa, dijo la duquesa: -Sancho Panza tiene razón en todo cuanto ha dicho, y la tendrá en todo cuanto dijere: él es limpio, y, como él dice, no tiene necesidad de lavarse; y si nuestra usanza no le contenta, su alma en su palma, cuanto más, que vosotros, ministros de la limpieza, habéis andado demasiadamente de remisos y descuidados, y no sé si diga atrevidos, a traer a tal personaje y a tales barbas, en lugar de fuentes y aguamaniles de oro puro y de alemanas toallas, artesillas y dornajos de palo y rodillas de aparadores. Pero, en fin, sois malos y mal nacidos, y no podéis dejar, como malandrines que sois, de mostrar la ojeriza que tenéis con los escuderos de los andantes caballeros. |
