The hostess, her daughter, and the worthy Maritornes listened in bewilderment to the words of the knight-errant; for they understood about as much of them as if he had been talking Greek, though they could perceive they were all meant for expressions of good-will and blandishments; and not being accustomed to this kind of language, they stared at him and wondered to themselves, for he seemed to them a man of a different sort from those they were used to, and thanking him in pothouse phrase for his civility they left him, while the Asturian gave her attention to Sancho, who needed it no less than his master.
Confusas estaban la ventera y su hija y la buena de Maritornes oyendo las razones del andante caballero, que así las entendían como si hablara en griego, aunque bien alcanzaron que todas se encaminaban a ofrecimiento y requiebros; y, como no usadas a semejante lenguaje, mirábanle y admirábanse, y parecíales otro hombre de los que se usaban; y, agradeciéndole con venteriles razones sus ofrecimientos, le dejaron; y la asturiana Maritornes curó a Sancho, que no menos lo había menester que su amo.
