Many civilities and offers of service were exchanged by Don Alvaro and Don Quixote, in the course of which the great Manchegan displayed such good taste that he disabused Don Alvaro of the error he was under; and he, on his part, felt convinced he must have been enchanted, now that he had been brought in contact with two such opposite Don Quixotes.
And then, after a few years, with a certain number of windmills in their heads, we turn them loose, like so many inferior Don Quixotes, to make a mess of life. All that they have learnt in their heads has no reference at all to their dynamic souls.
It is a miracle that Hamley should produce two such men," she added gaily, and laid her fan upon her husband's arm lightly. "You should have been a Quaker, Harry, and then you two would have been " "Two Quaker Don Quixotes," interrupted Eglington ironically. "I should not have called you a Don Quixote," his wife lightly rejoined, relieved at the turn things had taken.
He understood, from having frequently come in contact with them, those southern natures, in which swindling and chivalry elbow without harming one another Don Quixotes who set their own windmills in motion. He asked himself: "How much would he still make after playing the magnamimous with me?"
Everybody sees that Don Quixote and Sancho Panza are humorous. Define them as you will idealist and realist, knight and commoner, dreamer and proverb-maker these figures represent to all the world two poles of human experience. A Frenchman once said that all of us are Don Quixotes on one day and Sancho Panzas on the next. Humor springs from this contrast.
Yanski Varhely departed, a little stunned by this interview. He had never felt so old, so out of the fashion, before. Prince Zilah and he now seemed to him like two ancestors of the present generation Don Quixotes, romanticists, imbeciles. The minister was, as Jacquemin would have said, a sly dog, who took the times as he found them, and left spectres in peace. Well, perhaps he was right!
"That I will do most willingly," replied Don Alvaro; "though it amazes me to find two Don Quixotes and two Sancho Panzas at once, as much alike in name as they differ in demeanour; and again I say and declare that what I saw I cannot have seen, and that what happened me cannot have happened."
Don Quixote was not a better knight-errant than you are. But is it not a pity to take up your lance and shield before an enemy is within sight or hearing? But that was ever the way with your Don Quixotes." "Perhaps there may be an enemy in ambush." That was Mrs. Robarts's thought to herself, but she did not dare to express it, so she remained silent.
I am going to the club." "I will follow you in a few minutes," Vine answered. John Drayton went out, and once more the three men were alone. "You see, Mr. Vine," Weiss said slowly, "this isn't the country or the age for Don Quixotes.
And the real Don Quixote of La Mancha, the famous, the valiant, the wise, the lover, the righter of wrongs, the guardian of minors and orphans, the protector of widows, the killer of damsels, he who has for his sole mistress the peerless Dulcinea del Toboso, is this gentleman before you, my master; all other Don Quixotes and all other Sancho Panzas are dreams and mockeries."
