All who heard it read were agreed that they had seldom had the fortune to hear such a well-worded and thoroughly sensible epistle; and Sancho was proud of the praise that was being bestowed on his former master, to whom he still was as devoted as ever. The Governor withdrew with his secretary into his own room, and there he dictated at once his reply to Don Quixote's letter.

Though their speeches were flattering and well-worded, Melissa repulsed them by remarking sharply that she did not want their flowers.
