- With: Don Quixote Don Juan
- “The instant Don Quixote heard his own name he started to his feet and listened with open ears to catch what they said about him, and heard the Don Jeronimo who had been addressed say in reply, ‘Why would you have us read that absurd stuff, Don Juan, when it is impossible for anyone who has read the First Part of the history of ‘Don Quixote of La Mancha’ to take any pleasure in reading this Second Part?’”

protégé: Don Quixote “The two gentlemen pressed Don Quixote to come into their room and have supper with them, as they knew very well there was nothing in that inn fit for one of his sort.”
pupil: Don Quixote “‘You will do quite right,’ said Don Jeronimo; ‘and there are other jousts at Barcelona in which Señor Don Quixote may display his prowess.’”
friends with Don Quixote “That is what I mean to do,” said Don Quixote; “and as it is now time, I pray your worships to give me leave to retire to bed, and to place and retain me among the number of your greatest friends and servants.”
friends with Sancho Panza “That is what I mean to do,” said Don Quixote; “and as it is now time, I pray your worships to give me leave to retire to bed, and to place and retain me among the number of your greatest friends and servants.” “And me too,” said Sancho; “maybe I’ll be good for something.”
