Monsieur De Pourceaugnac by Molière
page 14 of 77 (18%)
MR. POUR. I am greatly obliged to you.

SBRI. I speak from the bottom of my heart.

MR. POUR. I believe you.

SBRI. If I had the honour of being known to you, you would find that
I am altogether sincere.

MR. POUR. I do not doubt it.

SBRI. An enemy to deceit.

MR. POUR. I feel sure of it.

SBRI. And that I am incapable of disguising my thoughts.

MR. POUR. It is exactly what I think.

SBRI. You look at my dress, which is not like that of other people;
but I came originally from Naples, at your service; and I always like
to keep up the way of dressing as well as the sincerity of my
country. [Footnote: The Neapolitans had no great reputation for
sincerity.]

MR. POUR. You are quite right. For my part, I was desirous of
appearing in the court dress for the country. [Footnote: _Mode de
la cour pour la campagne_.]

SBRI. Truly, it becomes you better than it does all our courtiers.
