"So, so!" said the curate, "are there giants in the dance? By the sign of

the Cross I will burn them to-morrow before the day over."

They put a host of questions to Don Quixote, but his only answer to all

was--give him something to eat, and leave him to sleep, for that was what

he needed most. They did so, and the curate questioned the peasant at

great length as to how he had found Don Quixote. He told him, and the

nonsense he had talked when found and on the way home, all which made the

licentiate the more eager to do what he did the next day, which was to

summon his friend the barber, Master Nicholas, and go with him to Don

Quixote's house.
