Commentary | At an inn, two gentlemen (don Juan and don Jerónimo) meet don Quixote and Sancho and show them Avellaneda's novel; the representation is very accurate to Cervantes' description: "entraron por la puerta de su aposento dos caballeros, que tales lo parecían, y uno dellos echando los brazos al cuello de don Quijote [...], poniéndole un libro en las manos" (59:2). |
