Then Don Quixote took off a glove and threw it into the middle of the hall. The
Duke picked up the gloves, and said that, as he had just said, he would accept
the challenge in the name of his subject, and that the date would be six days
from now, on an empty field in the castle. All the usual weapons of knights,
including spears, shields, synthetic armor, and accessories, were available, and
all of them were checked by the magistrate. A removable piece of armor to
facilitate the movement of a knight. But before that, I need this good maid and
poor girl to give Don Quixote full authority to uphold justice for them,
otherwise it won't count, not even this challenge. "I give him carte blanche."
Said the maid. And I give him carte blanche. The girl went on, with tears on her
face and a mixture of shame and frustration. The matter was settled, and the
Duke thought out what to do next. Two women dressed in black left the hall. The
Duchess ordered that henceforth they should no longer be regarded as servants,
but as quack women who had come to the Duke's house to plead for justice, and
that separate rooms should be prepared for them and they should be treated as
outsiders. The other maids were a little scared, wondering how far the foolish
and presumptuous Donna Rodriguez and her hapless daughter would go. At this
time, in order to enliven the atmosphere and let people finish the meal happily,
the page boy who delivered letters and gifts to Teresa Panza, the wife of
Governor Sancho Panza, came in. The Duke and Duchess were delighted by his
arrival, and they were anxious to know what had happened to the page. They asked
the boy, who said that he could not speak in public, and that he could not speak
in a few words, and asked the master to allow him to speak to them alone later,
and now to read the reply first. Said the page, taking out two letters and
giving them to the Duchess. One was addressed to "the Duchess of nowhere," and
the other to "Sancho Panza, governor of Barataria and my husband, may God bless
him more than I do.". The Duchess can't wait. She opened the letter and read it
again, thinking that it might be listened to by the Duke and the others present,
and began to read: Letter from Teresa Panza to the Duchess Dear Madam, I am very
glad to receive your letter. To tell you the truth, I have been expecting it for
a long time. The coral beads are very nice and my husband's hunting suit is not
bad. The people here were very happy to hear that you had made my husband Sancho
governor, though some did not believe it, especially the priest, the barber,
Maestro Nicholas,

collapsible
bulk containers, and Samson Carrasco. But I don't care about that. Let it
go. Let them say what they want to say. To tell you the truth, I wouldn't have
believed it if I hadn't seen coral beads and hunting clothes, because people
here regard my husband as a fool, and I can't imagine what else he can manage
besides a flock of sheep. May God bless him to be a good governor, which is also
good for his children. The opportunity is not to be missed, your ladyship, and I
have decided, with your permission, to drive to the capital and make the eyes of
those who envy me angry. So I beg you to let my husband send me some money. It's
going to be a sum of money. Because the capital is very expensive, bread is sold
by the real, meat is sold by the pound, thirty Malawides a pound, it's really
expensive. If he doesn't want me to go, tell me earlier. I'm like an ant on a
hot pan now, and I'm anxious to get on my way. My girlfriends and neighbors tell
me that if my daughter and I are riding high in the capital, then my husband is
famous for us, not for him. At that time a lot of people can ask for certain:
'Who is the madam on the car? My servant would reply, 'The wife and daughter of
Sancho Panza, the governor of Barataria.' So Sancho became famous, and I was
worth twice as much. Anyway, I was desperate. I'm sorry we have a poor acorn
crop this year. Nevertheless, I sent you half of the acorns of Seremin, which I
picked up one by one on the mountain, and I picked up the biggest ones. I wish
they were all as big as ostrich eggs. Please do write to me, and I will write
back to you, telling you about my health and all the things here. I ask God to
bless you and bless me. My daughter Sanchica and my son kiss your hand. Not only
would I like to write to you, but also I would like to see you. Your servant
Teresa Panza It was very interesting to hear the Duchess read Teresa Panza's
letter, especially the Duke and Duchess. The Duchess asked Don Quixote if she
could open Teresa Panza's letter to the Governor, which was also very
interesting. Don Quixote said he could open the letter for everyone. Don Quixote
opened the letter, which read as follows: Letter from Teresa Panza to her
husband, Sancho Panza My dear Sancho, I have received your letter. I assure you,
and I swear as a Christian, I am almost mad with joy. Listen, man, when I heard
that you were governor, I was so happy that I thought I was going to die. It is
said that sudden joy can also kill people like great pain. Your daughter
Sanchica was so happy that tears came to her eyes, but she didn't know it. The
clothes you sent are right in front of me, the coral beads the Duchess gave me
are hanging around my neck, the letter is in my hand, and the messenger is
beside me. Even so, I still feel that what I see and touch is a dream. Who would
have thought that a shepherd could be the governor of an island? You know, man,
my mother used to say, "a man sees more when he lives longer." I say this
because I want to live long and see much until I see you as a tax collector.
They always have money in their hands,

Duchess, will convey to you my wish to go to the capital. Think about it and let
me know when you decide. I'm going to take a bus to the capital to win glory for
you.
