Don Quixote was about to thank him, when they heard behind them a noise as of a troop of horses; there was, however, but one, riding on which at a furious pace came a youth, apparently about twenty years of age, clad in green damask edged with gold and breeches and a loose frock, with a hat looped up in the Walloon fashion, tight-fitting polished boots, gilt spurs, dagger and sword, and in his hand a musketoon, and a pair of pistols at his waist.
Ya le iba a dar las gracias don Quijote, cuando sintieron a sus espaldas un ruido como de tropel de caballos, y no era sino un solo, sobre el cual venía a toda furia un mancebo, al parecer de hasta veinte años, vestido de damasco verde, con pasamanos de oro, greguescos y saltaembarca, con sombrero terciado, a la valona, botas enceradas y justas, espuelas, daga y espada doradas, una escopeta pequeña en las manos y dos pistolas a los lados.
