The order of march was this: first went the cart with the owner leading it; at each side of it marched the officers of the Brotherhood, as has been said, with their muskets; then followed Sancho Panza on his ass, leading Rocinante by the bridle; and behind all came the curate and the barber on their mighty mules, with faces covered, as aforesaid, and a grave and serious air, measuring their pace to suit the slow steps of the oxen.
Y la orden que llevaban era ésta: iba primero el carro, guiándole su dueño; a los dos lados iban los cuadrilleros, como se ha dicho, con sus escopetas; seguía luego Sancho Panza sobre su asno, llevando de rienda a Rocinante. Detrás de todo esto iban el cura y el barbero sobre sus poderosas mulas, cubiertos los rostros, como se ha dicho, con grave y reposado continente, no caminando más de lo que permitía el paso tardo de los bueyes.
