La menesterosa doncella pugnó, con mucha porfía, por besarle las manos, mas don Quijote, que en todo era comedido y cortés caballero, jamás lo consintió; antes, la hizo levantar y la abrazó con mucha cortesía y comedimiento, y mandó a Sancho que requiriese las cinchas a Rocinante y le armase luego al punto.
