El ventero, que, como está dicho, era un poco socarrón y ya tenía algunos barruntos de la falta de juicio de su huésped, acabó de creerlo cuando acabó de oírle semejantes razones, y, por tener qué reír aquella noche, determinó de seguirle el humor; y así, le dijo que andaba muy acertado en lo que deseaba y pedía, y que tal

Don Quijote en inglés
Centenary of Cervantess Death
In 2016 it will be 400 years since the death of Miguel de Cervantes.
Miguel de Cervantes, the real-life person, has often been obscured by Don Quixote, the main character of his most famous novel
Chapter I
WHICH TREATS OF THE CHARACTER AND PURSUITS OF THE FAMOUS GENTLEMAN DON QUIXOTE OF LA MANCHA
In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing. An olla of rather more beef than mutton, a salad on most nights, scraps on Saturdays, lentils on Fridays, and a pigeon or so extra on Sundays, made away with three-quarters of his income. The rest of it went in a doublet of fine cloth and velvet breeches and shoes to match for holidays, while on week-days he made a brave figure in his best homespun. He had in his house a housekeeper past forty, a niece under twenty, and a lad for the field and market-place, who used to saddle the hack as well as handle the bill-hook. The age of this gentleman of ours was bordering on fifty; he was of a hardy habit, spare, gaunt-featured, a very early riser and a great sportsman. They will have it his surname was Quixada or Quesada (for here there is some difference of opinion among the authors who write on the subject), although from reasonable conjectures it seems plain that he was called Quexana.

Cervantes en la Rambla
Cuadringentésimo aniversario de la muerte de Cervantes.
En la iglesia de los trinitarios hay una placa que recuerda el paso de Cervantes por la localidad; así como el de Fray Juan Gil que tanto trabajó para lograr su redención del cautiverio de Argel. Obtuvo los 500 ducados reclamados y Cervantes recuperó su libertad el 19 de septiembre de 1580.

Hacia
1587, Cervantes aparece camino de Sevilla al frente de un comisión
de cobranzas reales y, algo después, con el nombramiento de Comisario
para acopio y provisión de víveres destinados a las Armadas y
Galeras reales; fijando su residencia en Écija y ejerciendo, a la
vez, en La Rambla y Castro.
