blanketing
"The cries of the poor blanketed wretch were so loud that they
reached the ears of his master, who, halting to listen attentively,
was persuaded that some new adventure was coming, until he clearly
perceived that it was his squire who uttered them."

It's a new experience to read "El Quijote" in English!

I found the gerund:
"Sancho repeated
it three times, and as he did, uttered three thousand more
absurdities; then he told them more about his master but he never said
a word about the blanketing that had befallen himself in that inn,
into which he refused to enter."

Cloaking
This is the term in English that I would use because blanketing is too general and this is a type of cloak referred to in this story.

(And I do understand that "manteo" can be tossing someone in the air and catching them in your arms or a blanket, but I see this as a sort of play on words here, imo.)

: Hi Elizabeth; the picture actually shows how Sancho is tossed in the air using a blanket. See my references. Saludos/Regards!

Hi Daniel, this is the interpreted depiction; I would not use the words blanket-tossing for the reason that it is rather un-literary as a term and I see this as symbolism per my above comment. Thanks : )
