The instant Don Quixote heard his own name be started to his feet and listened with open ears to catch what they said about him, and heard the Don Jeronimo who had been addressed say in reply, "Why would you have us read that absurd stuff, Don Juan, when it is impossible for anyone who has read the First Part of the history of 'Don Quixote of La Mancha' to take any pleasure in reading this Second Part?"
Apenas oyó su nombre don Quijote, cuando se puso en pie, y con oído alerto escuchó lo que dél trataban, y oyó que el tal don Jerónimo referido respondió: -¿Para qué quiere vuestra merced, señor don Juan, que leamos estos disparates? Y el que hubiere leído la primera parte de la historia de don Quijote de la Mancha no es posible que pueda tener gusto en leer esta segunda.
