| Commentary | At night, after the episode of her mock death and resurrection, Altisidora visits don Quixote "coronada con la misma guirnalda que en el túmulo tenía, y vestida una tunicela de tafetán blanco sembrada de flores de oro, y sueltos los cabellos por las espaldas, arrimada a un báculo de negro y finísimo ébano" (70:2).
