In Chapter 38, Countess Trifaldi asks Don Quixote for help and begins an account of her failure to guard Princess Antonomasia. She admits helping Don Clavijo gain access to the princess, whose swelling belly prompts an appeal for legal recognition of their marriage, but her account remains unfinished.
