Duchess' maidens go into don Quixote's room suddendly, frightening don Quixote and doña Rodríguez; "con un gran golpe abrieron las puertas del aposento, y del sobresalto del golpe se le cayó a doña Rodríguez la vela de la mano" (48:2). Rich setting (canopy, furniture, cage with bird, ceiling carvings...). Detailed engraving. The cat refers to a previous adventure. |
