Despite his name the new graduate wasn’t a big man, although he was a great leg-puller; his complexion was dull but his wits were sharp; he’d have been about twenty-four, with a moon face, a snub nose and a large mouth, all signs that he had a waggish disposition and loved joking and jesting, as he showed when he saw Don Quixote by throwing himself on to his knees before him and saying:

‘Pray give me your hands, Don Quixote de la Mancha; I swear by this habit of St Peter that I’m wearing, even though I’ve only taken minor orders, that you are one of the most famous knights errant that have ever existed or indeed ever will exist in the whole wide world. A blessing on Cide Hamete Benengeli for having written the history of your great deeds, and a double blessing on the diligent man who took care to have it translated from Arabic into our Castilian vernacular, for the amusement and entertainment of all.’
