The Adventures of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote de Ie Mancha by MIGUEL DE CERVANTES SAAVEDRA, adapted for radio in two parts by JOHN ARDEN. Part 1
' The question arises whether it is not my solemn duty to give up this sloth and luxury that the long devotion of my niece and housekeeper' enforces upon me to the detriment of y duty. Rinaldo did not spend his days reading books in an armchair. Nor did Orlando, nor did El Cid. nor did Sir Lance-lot of England. No! They rode forth, armed cap-a-pie, redressing all manner of grievance, ensuring justice, defying tyrants, exposing themselves to danger ...'
