"But another strange thing about it," said the curate, "is that, apart from the silly things which this worthy gentleman says in connection with his craze, when other subjects are dealt with, he can discuss them in a perfectly rational manner, showing that his mind is quite clear and composed; so that, provided his chivalry is not touched upon, no one would take him to be anything but a man of thoroughly sound understanding."
-Pues otra cosa hay en ello -dijo el cura-: que fuera de las simplicidades que este buen hidalgo dice tocantes a su locura, si le tratan de otras cosas, discurre con bonísimas razones y muestra tener un entendimiento claro y apacible en todo. De manera que, como no le toquen en sus caballerías, no habrá nadie que le juzgue sino por de muy buen entendimiento.
