Question

While in this location, a character identifies several objects in need of “a little rhubarb to purge their excess of bile.” When a woman enters this location, she rushes out and returns with holy water and a sprinkler to exorcise the spirits. A seated man in this location who is surrounded by various creatures appears above a caption about a “world (-5[1])of disorderly notions” in an engraving by Gustave Doré. That man is told by his niece that a (*) magician entered this location in a cloud (-5[1])and stole from it in order to conceal the real reason that the entrance to this place has been plastered shut. Tirant lo Blanch is among the items spared when a priest (10[2])and a barber set fire (0[1])to (10[1])many objects from this (10[1])location in an attempt to end a man’s delusions of grandeur. For 10 points, the book La Galatea is found in what room owned by a knight-errant in a Miguel de Cervantes novel? ■END■ (10[1])
