Don Quijote, a Sancho antes que este
SO posesionara del gobierno de la In
sula Barataria, lie decia:-- Tambien

ca la mnchedumbre de refranes que
sueles, puesto que los refranes son sem
tencias breves, que til muchas veces

ESQ Dios 10 puede, remediar, re-
plico Sancho, porque Sc tantos refranes
que cuando hablo vienense juntos la
boca, como rinendo unos con otros por

lante de decir solo los que convengan,
que en- casa llena con articulos de La

siente; Y tomar leche en- polvo kim :
o ell aqua white Rock de la Plaza
Provision buena digestion hace; y en-
Gender un cigarrillo Spur de santaella,
es una mimica bella.
-Bien, Sancho, encaja, emilia, en-
sarta refranes, que asi cuadran con 10
que vamos diciendo como con los ce-
rros de Ubeda. -.
--Verdad es dijo Sancho maldigo

sejos de vuesa merced, que ell que vista

--iCalla Sancho, por Dios, que esos
rsfranes habran de llevarte al profun-
do de los infiernos!, dijole Don Quijote
con grandes muestras de NAL humor;

advantages of a civilization that had

business engagement about il and he
was entirely at liberty to change his
mind. He could not very we'll con-
