Carrasco armed himself in the fashion described, and Tom Cecial, that he might not be known by his gossip when they met, fitted on over his own natural nose the false masquerade one that has been mentioned; and so they followed the same route Don Quixote took, and almost came up with him in time to be present at the adventure of the cart of Death and finally encountered them in the grove, where all that the sagacious reader has been reading about took place; and had it not been for the extraordinary fancies of Don Quixote, and his conviction that the bachelor was not the bachelor, senor bachelor would have been incapacitated for ever from taking his degree of licentiate, all through not finding nests where he thought to find birds.
Armóse Sansón como queda referido y Tomé Cecial acomodó sobre sus naturales narices las falsas y de máscara ya dichas, porque no fuese conocido de su compadre cuando se viesen; y así, siguieron el mismo viaje que llevaba don Quijote, y llegaron casi a hallarse en la aventura del carro de la Muerte. Y, finalmente, dieron con ellos en el bosque, donde les sucedió todo lo que el prudente ha leído; y si no fuera por los pensamientos extraordinarios de don Quijote, que se dio a entender que el bachiller no era el bachiller, el señor bachiller quedara imposibilitado para siempre de graduarse de licenciado, por no haber hallado nidos donde pensó hallar pájaros.
