Thus matters stood at the inn-gate, where there was a very lively exchange of fisticuffs and punches, to the sore damage of the landlord and to the wrath of Maritornes, the landlady, and her daughter, who were furious when they saw the pusillanimity of Don Quixote, and the hard treatment their master, husband and father was undergoing.
Esto pasaba en la puerta de la venta, y en ella andaban las puñadas y mojicones muy en su punto, todo en daño del ventero y en rabia de Maritornes, la ventera y su hija, que se desesperaban de ver la cobardía de don Quijote, y de lo mal que lo pasaba su marido, señor y padre.
