To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fates were kind, however, for with the help of three females, a boy, and an old dilapidated character, a sort of buffoon, the cojo, neces- sary functionary of all posadas, whose duties are to run errands, amuse the household and be the butt of its jokes, a complicated tor- tilla was slowly manufactured. In a little dark room, the key of whose carefully locked door dangled at his belt, the amo went to fetch the ingredients which composed it eggs, pota- toes, onions, herbs, and ham, besides I... know not what. When it was finally served on a bench and famished Panza seated before it, every one came slouching by. Was it that the strong odor 22 Argamasilla of crude olive-oil was too attractive to be resisted or that the unusual spectacle of a man eating with fork as well as with knife could not be missed ? Whatever it may have been, they, not unlike a pack of small dogs watching another dog munch his bone, sat or stood around observing each disap- pearing morsel till the oppression of these glittering eyes stead- fastly fixed on my movements made me feel that something was expected and must be done.
