At this he fell to with greater relish than if they had given him francolins from Milan, pheasants from Rome, veal from Sorrento, partridges from Moron, or geese from Lavajos, and turning to the doctor at supper he said to him, "Look here, senor doctor, for the future don't trouble yourself about giving me dainty things or choice dishes to eat, for it will be only taking my stomach off its hinges; it is accustomed to goat, cow, bacon, hung beef, turnips and onions; and if by any chance it is given these palace dishes, it receives them squeamishly, and sometimes with loathing.
Entregóse en todo con más gusto que si le hubieran dado francolines de Milán, faisanes de Roma, ternera de Sorrento, perdices de Morón, o gansos de Lavajos; y, entre la cena, volviéndose al doctor, le dijo: -Mirad, señor doctor: de aquí adelante no os curéis de darme a comer cosas regaladas ni manjares esquisitos, porque será sacar a mi estómago de sus quicios, el cual está acostumbrado a cabra, a vaca, a tocino, a cecina, a nabos y a cebollas; y, si acaso le dan otros manjares de palacio, los recibe con melindre, y algunas veces con asco.
