| Commentary | Sancho Panza, before confessing to the Duchess the truth about Dulcinea's enchantment, checks that there is nobody listening behind the tapestries. Accurate to Cervantes' text: "... se levantó Sancho de la silla, y con pasos quedos, el cuerpo agobiado, y el dedo puesto sobre los labios anduvo por toda la sala, levantando los doseles" (33:2).
