At this Sancho awoke, and feeling this mass almost on top of him fancied he had the nightmare and began to distribute fisticuffs all round, of which a certain share fell upon Maritornes, who, irritated by the pain and flinging modesty aside, paid back so many in return to Sancho that she woke him up in spite of himself. He then, finding himself so handled, by whom he knew not, raising himself up as well as he could, grappled with Maritornes, and he and she between them began the bitterest and drollest scrimmage in the world.
En esto, despertó Sancho, y, sintiendo aquel bulto casi encima de sí, pensó que tenía la pesadilla, y comenzó a dar puñadas a una y otra parte, y entre otras alcanzó con no sé cuántas a Maritornes, la cual, sentida del dolor, echando a rodar la honestidad, dio el retorno a Sancho con tantas que, a su despecho, le quitó el sueño; el cual, viéndose tratar de aquella manera y sin saber de quién, alzándose como pudo, se abrazó con Maritornes, y comenzaron entre los dos la más reñida y graciosa escaramuza del mundo.
