Opening scene
In an inn near the fields where a certain battle against mills was already recounted, a sealed letter appears addressed to the 'lord of the east blade'. Sancho swears that no sensible person would write to a mill; precisely for that reason, Don Quixote suspects that someone wishes to shelter extortion under another's laughter. The letter speaks of tributes, of a maiden held captive, and of a payment delivered at dusk. If the giant does not exist, someone is using his fiction as a hiding place.
