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. + 
