Don Quixote obeyed, and great bandying of compliments followed between the two over the matter; but in the end the duchess's determination carried the day, and she refused to get down or dismount from her palfrey except in the arms of the duke, saying she did not consider herself worthy to impose so unnecessary a burden on so great a knight.
Don Quijote lo hizo, y hubo grandes comedimientos entre los dos sobre el caso; pero, en efecto, venció la porfía de la duquesa, y no quiso decender o bajar del palafrén sino en los brazos del duque, diciendo que no se hallaba digna de dar a tan gran caballero tan inútil carga.
