"All that is very well," said Don Quixote; "but let the shoes and the blood-lettings stand as a setoff against the blows you have given him without any cause; for if he spoiled the leather of the shoes you paid for, you have damaged that of his body, and if the barber took blood from him when he was sick, you have drawn it when he was sound; so on that score he owes you nothing."
-Bien está todo eso -replicó don Quijote-, pero quédense los zapatos y las sangrías por los azotes que sin culpa le habéis dado; que si él rompió el cuero de los zapatos que vos pagastes, vos le habéis rompido el de su cuerpo; y si le sacó el barbero sangre estando enfermo, vos en sanidad se la habéis sacado; ansí que, por esta parte, no os debe nada.
