The landlord, who was of the fraternity, ran at once to fetch his staff of office and his sword, and ranged himself on the side of his comrades; the servants of Don Luis clustered round him, lest he should escape from them in the confusion; the barber, seeing the house turned upside down, once more laid hold of his pack-saddle and Sancho did the same; Don Quixote drew his sword and charged the officers; Don Luis cried out to his servants to leave him alone and go and help Don Quixote, and Cardenio and Don Fernando, who were supporting him; the curate was shouting at the top of his voice, the landlady was screaming, her daughter was wailing, Maritornes was weeping, Dorothea was aghast, Luscinda terror-stricken, and Dona Clara in a faint.
El ventero, que era de la cuadrilla, entró al punto por su varilla y por su espada, y se puso al lado de sus compañeros; los criados de don Luis rodearon a don Luis, porque con el alboroto no se les fuese; el barbero, viendo la casa revuelta, tornó a asir de su albarda, y lo mismo hizo Sancho; don Quijote puso mano a su espada y arremetió a los cuadrilleros. Don Luis daba voces a sus criados que le dejasen a él y acorriesen a don Quijote, y a Cardenio, y a don Fernando, que todos favorecían a don Quijote.
