While this was going on, Sancho, perceiving that he could speak to his master without having the curate and the barber, of whom he had his suspicions, present all the time, approached the cage in which Don Quixote was placed, and said, "Senor, to ease my conscience I want to tell you the state of the case as to your enchantment, and that is that these two here, with their faces covered, are the curate of our village and the barber; and I suspect they have hit upon this plan of carrying you off in this fashion, out of pure envy because your worship surpasses them in doing famous deeds; and if this be the truth it follows that you are not enchanted, but hoodwinked and made a fool of.
En tanto que esto pasaba, viendo Sancho que podía hablar a su amo sin la continua asistencia del cura y el barbero, que tenía por sospechosos, se llegó a la jaula donde iba su amo, y le dijo: -Señor, para descargo de mi conciencia, le quiero decir lo que pasa cerca de su encantamento; y es que aquestos dos que vienen aquí cubiertos los rostros son el cura de nuestro lugar y el barbero; y imagino han dado esta traza de llevalle desta manera, de pura envidia que tienen como vuestra merced se les adelanta en hacer famosos hechos. Presupuesta, pues, esta verdad, síguese que no va encantado, sino embaído y tonto.
