"Just so; though I should not have chosen myself to use words so abruptly discourteous." "What did I say; jolly as a sandboy? There is nothing wrong in that.
Don Quixote when he saw the strange garb of the penitents, without reflecting how often he had seen it before, took it into his head that this was a case of adventure, and that it fell to him alone as a knight-errant to engage in it; and he was all the more confirmed in this notion, by the idea that an image draped in black they had with them was some illustrious lady that these villains and discourteous thieves were carrying off by force.
This remark and the tone in which it was uttered would have been discourteous under any circumstances; at this particular time and in the painful situation in which we all found ourselves it was boorish almost beyond endurance.
"Still," returned he of the Grove, "we must fight, if it be only for half an hour."
