Supreme was the satisfaction that Sancho felt at seeing himself, as it seemed, an established favourite with the duchess, for he looked forward to finding in her castle what he had found in Don Diego's house and in Basilio's; he was always fond of good living, and always seized by the forelock any opportunity of feasting himself whenever it presented itself.
Suma era la alegría que llevaba consigo Sancho, viéndose, a su parecer, en privanza con la duquesa, porque se le figuraba que había de hallar en su castillo lo que en la casa de don Diego y en la de Basilio, siempre aficionado a la buena vida; y así, tomaba la ocasión por la melena en esto del regalarse cada y cuando que se le ofrecía.
