| Commentary | Original choice; the Duke, the Duchess, don Quixote, Sancho Panza and doña Rodríguez wait for countess Trifaldi; Trifaldín has just left the garden. Well represented dialogues by gestures; accurate to Cervantes' text. Dialogue between Sancho, don Quixote and doña Rodríguez: "[...] que donde interviniesen Dueñas no podía suceder cosa buena [...]. Calla, Sancho amigo, dijo don Quijote, que pues esta señora dueña de tan lueñes tierras viene a buscarme [...]. Dueñas tiene mi señora Duquesa en su servicio que pudiesen ser condesas" (37:2).
