To which Sancho made answer, "I should be glad if your worship would do me the favour to go out to the castle gate, where you will find a grey ass of mine; make them, if you please, put him in the stable, or put him there yourself, for the poor little beast is rather easily frightened, and cannot bear being alone at all."
~ ~ ~ Sentence 114 ~ ~ ~
Be off with you, brother, and bad luck to you and him who brought you here; go, look after your ass, for we, the duennas of this house, are not used to work of that sort."
~ ~ ~ Sentence 118 ~ ~ ~
"Son of a bitch," said the duenna, all aglow with anger, "whether I'm old or not, it's with God I have to reckon, not with you, you garlic-stuffed scoundrel!" and she said it so loud, that the duchess heard it, and turning round and seeing the duenna in such a state of excitement, and her eyes flaming so, asked whom she was wrangling with.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 119 ~ ~ ~
"With this good fellow here," said the duenna, "who has particularly requested me to go and put an ass of his that is at the castle gate into the stable, holding it up to me as an example that they did the same I don't know where-that some ladies waited on one Lancelot, and duennas on his hack; and what is more, to wind up with, he called me old."

~ ~ ~ Sentence 132 ~ ~ ~
Dost thou not see-shortsighted being that thou art, and unlucky mortal that I am!-that if they perceive thee to be a coarse clown or a dull blockhead, they will suspect me to be some impostor or swindler?
~ ~ ~ Sentence 133 ~ ~ ~
Nay, nay, Sancho friend, keep clear, oh, keep clear of these stumbling-blocks; for he who falls into the way of being a chatterbox and droll, drops into a wretched buffoon the first time he trips; bridle thy tongue, consider and weigh thy words before they escape thy mouth, and bear in mind we are now in quarters whence, by God's help, and the strength of my arm, we shall come forth mightily advanced in fame and fortune."
~ ~ ~ Sentence 165 ~ ~ ~
"I don't know," said Sancho Panza; "to me she seems the fairest creature in the world; at any rate, in nimbleness and jumping she won't give in to a tumbler; by my faith, senora duchess, she leaps from the ground on to the back of an ass like a cat."
~ ~ ~ Sentence 170 ~ ~ ~
