The bride showed no signs of displeasure at the deception; on the contrary, hearing them say that the marriage, being fraudulent, would not be valid, she said that she confirmed it afresh, whence they all concluded that the affair had been planned by agreement and understanding between the pair, whereat Camacho and his supporters were so mortified that they proceeded to revenge themselves by violence, and a great number of them drawing their swords attacked Basilio, in whose protection as many more swords were in an instant unsheathed, while Don Quixote taking the lead on horseback, with his lance over his arm and well covered with his shield, made all give way before him.
La esposa no dio muestras de pesarle de la burla; antes, oyendo decir que aquel casamiento, por haber sido engañoso, no había de ser valedero, dijo que ella le confirmaba de nuevo; de lo cual coligieron todos que de consentimiento y sabiduría de los dos se había trazado aquel caso, de lo que quedó Camacho y sus valedores tan corridos que remitieron su venganza a las manos, y, desenvainando muchas espadas, arremetieron a Basilio, en cuyo favor en un instante se desenvainaron casi otras tantas. Y, tomando la delantera a caballo don Quijote, con la lanza sobre el brazo y bien cubierto de su escudo, se hacía dar lugar de todos.
