Sep 26– From "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes, translated by Thomas Shelton

 Arise! Sir Loin of Beef!

Sep 26– From Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, translated by Thomas Shelton

Summary: An innkeeper knights Don Quixote so he'll leave their village alone.

Commentary:  This whole chapter is just people trying to get rid of DQ while he's even crazier than usual. Him getting into a fight about if knights carry money (if they don't explicitly say it in the book it can't be real) is a great fanboy moment.
