The guests had by this time made peace with the landlord, for, by persuasion and Don Quixote's fair words more than by threats, they had paid him what he demanded, and the servants of Don Luis were waiting for the end of the conversation with the Judge and their master's decision, when the devil, who never sleeps, contrived that the barber, from whom Don Quixote had taken Mambrino's helmet, and Sancho Panza the trappings of his ass in exchange for those of his own, should at this instant enter the inn; which said barber, as he led his ass to the stable, observed Sancho Panza engaged in repairing something or other belonging to the pack-saddle; and the moment he saw it he knew it, and made bold to attack Sancho, exclaiming, "Ho, sir thief, I have caught you! hand over my basin and my pack-saddle, and all my trappings that you robbed me of."
Ya a esta sazón estaban en paz los huéspedes con el ventero, pues, por persuasión y buenas razones de don Quijote, más que por amenazas, le habían pagado todo lo que él quiso, y los criados de don Luis aguardaban el fin de la plática del oidor y la resolución de su amo, cuando el demonio, que no duerme, ordenó que en aquel mesmo punto entró en la venta el barbero a quien don Quijote quitó el yelmo de Mambrino y Sancho Panza los aparejos del asno, que trocó con los del suyo; el cual barbero, llevando su jumento a la caballeriza, vio a Sancho Panza que estaba aderezando no sé qué de la albarda, y así como la vio la conoció, y se atrevió a arremeter a Sancho, diciendo: -¡Ah don ladrón, que aquí os tengo! ¡Venga mi bacía y mi albarda, con todos mis aparejos que me robastes!
