Sancho Panza Satisfies the Bachelor Samson Carrasco in His Doubts and Queries: with Other Passages Fit to Be Known and Related.
Samson Carrasco asks that Don Quixote and Sancho supply him with certain missing information that Cid Hamet neglected to include in his history. Sancho is more than eager to oblige, especially describing how his ass was stolen while he was yet sitting on it. Concluding his humorous discourse, Sancho declares, "if my master be ruled by me, we had been in the field by this time, undoing of misdeeds and righting of wrongs, as good knights-errant used to do." Rosinante loudly neighs at this moment. A good omen, exclaims Don Quixote, and he immediately sets plans for sallying forth once more. Carrasco kindly volunteers the news of a splendid tournament to be held at Sargossa, and were Don Quixote to out-tilt all rivals, he would be famous as the greatest living knight.
