ANG. No, indeed! who told you?
ARG. Mr. Purgon. ANG. Does Mr. Purgon know him? ARG. What a question! Of course he knows him, since he is his nephew. ANG. Cleante is the nephew of Mr. Purgon? ARG. What Cleante? We are speaking about him who has asked you in marriage. ANG. Yes, of course. ARG. Well, he is the nephew of Mr. Purgon, and the son of his brother-in-law, Mr. Diafoirus; and this son is called Thomas Diafoirus, and not Cleante. Mr. Fleurant and I decided upon this match this morning, and to-morrow this future son-in-law will be brought to me by his father ...What is the matter, you look all scared? ANG. It is because, father, I see that you have been speaking of one person, and I of another. TOI. What! Sir, you have formed such a queer project as that, and, with all the wealth you possess, you want to marry your daughter to a doctor? ARG. What business is it of yours, you impudent jade? |
