Part 2, Chapter 21 Summary
The bride appears, and both Quixote and Sancho deem her to be beautiful, each in his own way. Basilio suddenly appears, and he makes a short speech and falls on his spear. Basilio, seemingly dying, requests that Quiteria take the hand in marriage of a dying man, since she will not have to do so for long. Camacho is cowed to allow it in the tumult, and Quiteria, somewhat mechanically, complies. They are joined in marriage, and Basilio miraculously recovers.
