MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: How was that? (Breathlessly) MUSIC MASTER: The best. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: By the way, teach me how to bow to salute a marchioness; I shall need to know soon. DANCING MASTER: How you must bow to salute a marchioness? MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Yes, a marchioness named Dorimene. DANCING MASTER: Give me your hand. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: No. You only have to do it, I'll remember it well. DANCING MASTER: If you want to salute her with a great deal of respect, you must first bow and step back, then bow three times as you walk towards her, and at the last one bow down to her knees. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: (After the Dancing Master has illustrated) Do it some. Good! LACKEY: Sir, your Fencing Master is here. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Tell him to come in here for my lesson. I want you to see me perform. SCENE II (Fencing Master, Music Master, Dancing Master, Monsier Jourdain, a Lackey) |
