ELMIRE
I'm very grateful for your pious wishes. But let's sit down, so we may talk at ease. TARTUFFE (after sitting down) And how are you recovered from your illness? ELMIRE (sitting down also) Quite well; the fever soon let go its hold. TARTUFFE My prayers, I fear, have not sufficient merit To have drawn down this favour from on high; But each entreaty that I made to Heaven Had for its object your recovery. ELMIRE You're too solicitous on my behalf. TARTUFFE We could not cherish your dear health too much; I would have given mine, to help restore it. ELMIRE That's pushing Christian charity too far; I owe you many thanks for so much kindness. TARTUFFE I do far less for you than you deserve. |
