We must break it up, then; we must go to-morrow to Ferrer, who is

a good worthy man; it was plain how delighted he was to-day to

find himself among the poor; how he tried to hear what was said

to him, and how kindly he answered them. We must go, then, to

Ferrer, and inform him how things are situated; and I, for my

part, can tell him something that will astonish him; I, who have

seen with my own eyes a proclamation, with ever so many coats of

arms at the head of it, and which had been made by three of the

rulers; their names were printed at the bottom, and one of these

names was Ferrer; this I saw with my own eyes! Now this

proclamation was exactly suited to my case; so that I demanded

justice from the doctor, since it was the desire of these three

lords, among whom was Ferrer; but in the eyes of this very

doctor, who had himself shown me this fine proclamation, I

appeared to be a madman.
