Question

In a novel, a man is nicknamed for this job and his “sad countenance” because his face looks sad without its (15[1])teeth. A man’s overnight vigil before becoming a member of this profession is cut (15[1])short (-5[1])after he assaults two men (15[1])trying to give their horses water. (15[2])A man uses his membership in this profession to justify (-5[1])demanding that a lion keeper release his lion, but the lion refuses to leave the cage. (15[1]-5[1])The protagonist of a novel sees people with this job in (*) two clouds of dust, inspiring him to attack a flock of sheep. The balm of (10[1])Fierabras (10[2])supposedly (10[2])only heals people with this job. Men (10[1])disguise themselves as people of this profession (10[1])“of the Mirrors” (10[1])and “of the White Moon” (10[4])to get the (10[1])protagonist (10[1])of a novel to quit this profession. For 10 points, (10[1])delusions of being a member of what profession (10[1])plague the chivalry-obsessed Don Quixote? ■END■ (10[3])
