Act I - Scene III

ELMIRE, MARIANE, DAMIS, CLEANTE, DORINE


ELMIRE: (to Cleante)
You're very lucky to have missed the speech
She gave us at the door. I see my husband
Is home again. He hasn't seen me yet,
So I'll go up and wait till he comes in.

CLEANTE:
And I, to save time, will await him here;
I'll merely say good-morning, and be gone.
