Act I Scene III

ELMIRE,MARIANE,DAMIS,CLÉANTE,DORINE Elmire, to CLÉANTE
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.

Cléante
And I, to save time, will await him here;

I’ll merely say good-morning, and be gone.
