four in the
morning
It behoves you to be on the alert and keep watch , that they surprise you not . I also know by trustworthy spies that four persons have entered the town in disguise in order to take your life , because they stand in dread of your great capacity ; keep your eyes open and take heed who approaches you to address you , and eat nothing that is presented to you . I will take care to send you aid if you find yourself in difficulty , but in all things you will act as may be expected of your judgment . From this place , the Sixteenth of August , at four in the morning . Your friend , THE DUKE Sancho was astonished , and those who stood by made believe to be so too , and turning to the majordomo he said to him , `` What we have got to do first , and it must be done at once , is to put Doctor Recio in the lock-up ; for if anyone wants to kill me it is he , and by a slow death and the worst of all , which is hunger . '' `` Likewise , '' said the carver , `` it is my opinion your worship should not eat anything that is on this table , for the whole was a present from some nuns ; and as they say , ` behind the cross there 's the devil . ' '' `` I do n't deny it , '' said Sancho ; `` so for the present give me a piece of bread and four pounds or so of grapes ; no poison can come in them ; for the fact is I ca n't go on without eating ; and if we are to be prepared for these battles that are threatening us we must be well provisioned ; for it is the tripes that carry the heart and not the heart the tripes .
