Part Two also introduces a Sancho who amazes his master with his intelligent observations and aptness for the profession of knight-errantry even as he amazes his creator, for Cervantes insists that Sancho's awakened intellect must be "apocryphal." The squire, however, is a quick student of his master and shows his wife that he is imbued with Don Quixote's ambition. He of the "let not the cobbler look beyond his last" and "every sheep to her mate" now wishes that the future Panzas of the world be counts and countesses. Teresa, on the other hand, prefers the status quo, looking forward only to sufficient food and clothing for her family.
