Chapter XLIX
Sancho tries to convince his master that he is not enchanted
and that if he could get out of the cage they would be able to make a plan of escape and continue seeking
adventure together, to which Quixote disagrees with the first point, but is
allowed to leave the cage for a break.
During this time, the canon attempts a conversation with Don Quixote
about books of chivalry stating, “they are all lies and childish
foolishness,” although Quixote continues to defend as truth.
Chapter L
Don Quixote reiterates in his argument with the canon that
stories “of knight-errantry will rouse both wonder and delight in any reader,”
and that he would like to present his well-deserving squire with an earldom,
which he has promised. During the discussion, a goatherd chasing
after his wandering goat, approaches the group while they were eating, and
since they invited him to join them, he prepares to tell them a story in which
they were inclined to listen.

I'm working my way through The Well-Educated Mind too! It's exciting to come across a fellow traveler on a long and sometimes lonely journey!
Oh - and I also have five kids!
Blessings!
I replied to your message via e-mail but I'm not sure if it went through because I received an "error" pop-up. I sent it last night, Feb.19.
