"I could manage the gram well enough," said Sancho; "but for the mar I have neither leaning nor liking, for I don't know what it is; but leaving this matter of the government in God's hands, to send me wherever it may be most to his service, I may tell you, senor bachelor Samson Carrasco, it has pleased me beyond measure that the author of this history should have spoken of me in such a way that what is said of me gives no offence; for, on the faith of a true squire, if he had said anything about me that was at all unbecoming an old Christian, such as I am, the deaf would have heard of it."
-Con la grama bien me avendría yo -dijo Sancho-, pero con la tica, ni me tiro ni me pago, porque no la entiendo. Pero, dejando esto del gobierno en las manos de Dios, que me eche a las partes donde más de mí se sirva, digo, señor bachiller Sansón Carrasco, que infinitamente me ha dado gusto que el autor de la historia haya hablado de mí de manera que no enfadan las cosas que de mí se cuentan; que a fe de buen escudero que si hubiera dicho de mí cosas que no fueran muy de cristiano viejo, como soy, que nos habían de oír los sordos.
