"See there! plague on it!" cried the housekeeper at this: "did not my heart tell the truth as to which foot my master went lame of? To bed with your worship at once, and we will contrive to cure you here without fetching that Hurgada.

They did so, and the curate questioned the peasant at great length as to how he had found Don Quixote.
