Many were the compliments and expressions of politeness that passed between Don Quixote and Don Fernando; but they were brought to an end by a traveller who at this moment entered the inn, and who seemed from his attire to be a Christian lately come from the country of the Moors, for he was dressed in a short-skirted coat of blue cloth with half-sleeves and without a collar; his breeches were also of blue cloth, and his cap of the same colour, and he wore yellow buskins and had a Moorish cutlass slung from a baldric across his breast.
Muchas palabras de comedimiento y muchos ofrecimientos pasaron entre don Quijote y don Fernando; pero a todo puso silencio un pasajero que en aquella sazón entró en la venta, el cual en su traje mostraba ser cristiano recién venido de tierra de moros, porque venía vestido con una casaca de paño azul, corta de faldas, con medias mangas y sin cuello; los calzones eran asimismo de lienzo azul, con bonete de la misma color; traía unos borceguíes datilados y un alfanje morisco, puesto en un tahelí que le atravesaba el pecho.
