Don Quixote by Miquel de Cervantes, Chapter VII, Paragraphs 1-6

CHAPTER VII OF THE SECOND SALLY OF OUR WORTHY KNIGHT DON QUIXOTE OF LA MANCHA

PARAGRAPH 1: At this instant Don Quixote began shouting out, "Here, here, valiant knights! here is need for you to put forth the might of your strong arms, for they of the Court are gaining the mastery in the tourney!" Called away by this noise and outcry, they proceeded no farther with the scrutiny of the remaining books, and so it is thought that "The Carolea," "The Lion of Spain," and "The Deeds of the Emperor," written by Don Luis de Avila, went to the fire unseen and unheard; for no doubt they were among those that remained, and perhaps if the curate had seen them they would not have undergone so severe a sentence.

TIM'S OBSERVATIONS ON TITLE AND PARAGRAPH 1:
Okay the title talks about the "Second Sally" but Cervantes isn't talking about a woman named Sally. Rather he is referring to the second adventure or undertaking of Don Quixote as in "sally forth." Just thought I'd clarify that since we have enough characters to keep track of as it is.

Essentially, Don Quixote wakes up and shouts out for all of his knights to gather round. This puts a stop to the review of his library by the priest and barber/doctor. They just leave the remaining books to be burned.

PARAGRAPH 2: When they reached Don Quixote he was already out of bed, and was still shouting and raving, and slashing and cutting all round, as wide awake as if he had never slept.

TIM'S OBSERVATIONS ON PARAGRAPH 2:
When they run to Don Quixote's room they find him prancing about with his sword and shouting nonsense (obviously he has recovered from the fall from his horse).

PARAGRAPH 3: They closed with him and by force got him back to bed, and when he had become a little calm, addressing the curate, he said to him, "Of a truth, Senor Archbishop Turpin, it is a great disgrace for us who call ourselves the Twelve Peers, so carelessly to allow the knights of the Court to gain the victory in this tourney, we the adventurers having carried off the honour on the three former days."

TIM'S OBSERVATIONS ON PARAGRAPH 3:
They gang up on Don Quixote and force him back into his bed. When he calms down he tells the priest that it is a shame for them not to rejoin a tournament they were jousting in because they were winning (okay....).

PARAGRAPH 4: "Hush, gossip," said the curate; "please God, the luck may turn, and what is lost to-day may be won to-morrow; for the present let your worship have a care of your health, for it seems to me that you are over-fatigued, if not badly wounded."

TIM'S OBSERVATIONS ON PARAGRAPH 4:
The priest plays along and tells Don Quixote not to worry about the tournament for now, but to get some rest and recover from his wounds.

PARAGRAPH 5: "Wounded no," said Don Quixote, "but bruised and battered no doubt, for that bastard Don Roland has cudgelled me with the trunk of an oak tree, and all for envy, because he sees that I alone rival him in his achievements. But I should not call myself Reinaldos of Montalvan did he not pay me for it in spite of all his enchantments as soon as I rise from this bed. For the present let them bring me something to eat, for that, I feel, is what will be more to my purpose, and leave it to me to avenge myself."

TIM'S OBSERVATIONS ON PARAGRAPH 5:
Don Quixote admits he is not wounded but a little worse for wear from being hit on the head by his enemy (so much for falling off his horse...De Nile is not just a river in Egypt). Don Quixote vows to get even as soon as he has had breakfast.

PARAGRAPH 6: They did as he wished; they gave him something to eat, and once more he fell asleep, leaving them marvelling at his madness.

TIM'S OBSERVATIONS ON PARAGRAPH 6:
They fed him and he fell asleep again.

Boy, that was an exciting six paragraphs. At least we got away from reading obscure book titles.
