"I draw my stakes," said Sancho, "and will retreat with this pasty to the brook there, where I mean to victual myself for three days; for I have heard my lord, Don Quixote, say that a knight-errant's squire should eat until he can hold no more, whenever he has the chance, because it often happens them to get by accident into a wood so thick that they cannot find a way out of it for six days; and if the man is not well filled or his alforjas well stored, there he may stay, as very often he does, turned into a dried mummy."
-Saco la mía -dijo Sancho-; que yo a aquel arroyo me voy con esta empanada, donde pienso hartarme por tres días; porque he oído decir a mi señor don Quijote que el escudero de caballero andante ha de comer, cuando se le ofreciere, hasta no poder más, a causa que se les suele ofrecer entrar acaso por una selva tan intricada que no aciertan a salir della en seis días; y si el hombre no va harto, o bien proveídas las alforjas, allí se podrá quedar, como muchas veces se queda, hecho carne momia.
