He tried his luck again, and things went so smoothly that with no more noise or disturbance than the last time, he found himself rid of the burden that had caused him so much grief. But since Don Quixote had a sense of smell as acute as his hearing, and Sancho was joined so closely to him, and the vapors rose up almost in a straight line, some unavoidably reached his nostrils, and as soon as they did he came to the assistance of his nostrils and squeezed them closed between two fingers, and in a somewhat nasal voice, he said: It seems to me, Sancho, that you are very frightened.
Don Quixote attempted a task once more, and this time everything fell into place easily, allowing him to rid himself of a long-standing burden without any disruption. His keen sense of smell, however, was a challenge, especially since his loyal companion, Sancho, was nearby and contributing to the unpleasant fumes. As the vapors wafted in the air, they inevitably reached Don Quixote’s sensitive nose.
Reacting instinctively to the smell, Don Quixote pinched his nostrils shut and, speaking nasally, expressed his concern for Sancho’s apparent fear. This shows Don Quixote's awareness of his surroundings and highlights the bond between the two characters as they face challenges together, despite the humor of the situation.
