enemies with Andres “Nor were they without cause, for a lusty farmer was flogging him with a belt and following up every blow with scoldings and commands, repeating, ‘Your mouth shut and your eyes open!’ while the youth made answer, ‘I won’t do it again, master mine; by God’s passion I won’t do it again, and I’ll take more care of the flock another time.’”
enemies with Don Quixote “Pay him at once without another word; if not, by the God that rules us I will make an end of you, and annihilate you on the spot; release him instantly.”

servant: Andres “Andres went off rather down in the mouth, swearing he would go to look for the valiant Don Quixote of La Mancha and tell him exactly what had happened, and that all would have to be repaid him sevenfold; but for all that, he went off weeping, while his master stood laughing.”

servant: Andres “The boor replied that he was flogging him because he was his servant and because of carelessness that proceeded rather from dishonesty than stupidity;”
enemies with Don Quixote “but when your worship abused him so out of measure, and gave him so many hard words, his anger was kindled;”
