Chapter XLVI
One night Quixote opens his window to sing a love song for
all to hear when suddenly a bag of cats is let loose and enter his room
through the window. Believing the cats
to be enchanters, he takes up his sword against them, and as one attacks his
face, Quixote bravely stands, “Let nobody take him: let me fight hand to hand
with this devil, this wizard, this necromancer!
I’ll make him understand what it means to deal with Don Quixote of La
Mancha.” Altisoidora cleans his wounds
for him.
Chapter XLVII
A fabulous banquet is prepared for Sancho, but every time a
plate is brought to him and he takes one bite, the physician orders it to be
taken away in concern for the governor’s health; this so aggravates Sancho, who
fears he will die of starvation, that he orders the physician to depart from
him. Meanwhile, a message arrives from
the duke warning of a severe attack by enemies, to be watchful, and to let
him know immediately if he would like assistance.
