"And so it seems," returned the curate, and he told the canon what he proposed to do, on which he too made up his mind to halt with them, attracted by the aspect of the fair valley that lay before their eyes; and to enjoy it as well as the conversation of the curate, to whom he had begun to take a fancy, and also to learn more particulars about the doings of Don Quixote, he desired some of his servants to go on to the inn, which was not far distant, and fetch from it what eatables there might be for the whole party, as he meant to rest for the afternoon where he was; to which one of his servants replied that the sumpter mule, which by this time ought to have reached the inn, carried provisions enough to make it unnecessary to get anything from the inn except barley.
Y, diciéndole al canónigo lo que pensaba hacer, él también quiso quedarse con ellos, convidado del sitio de un hermoso valle que a la vista se les ofrecía. Y, así por gozar dél como de la conversación del cura, de quien ya iba aficionado, y por saber más por menudo las hazañas de don Quijote, mandó a algunos de sus criados que se fuesen a la venta, que no lejos de allí estaba, y trujesen della lo que hubiese de comer, para todos, porque él determinaba de sestear en aquel lugar aquella tarde; a lo cual uno de sus criados respondió que el acémila del repuesto, que ya debía de estar en la venta, traía recado bastante para no obligar a no tomar de la venta más que cebada.
