...
TOI. If you go on scolding me, I shall cry.
ARG. To leave me, you....
TOI. (_again interrupting_ ARGAN.) Oh!
ARG. You would....
TOI. (_still interrupting him_). Oh!
ARG. What! shall I have also to give up the pleasure of scolding her?
TOI. Well, scold as much as you please; do as you like.
ARG. You prevent me, you hussy, by interrupting me every moment.
TOI. If you have the pleasure of scolding, I surely can have that of
crying. Let every one have his fancy; 'tis but right. Oh! oh!
ARG. I must give it up, I suppose. Take this away, take this away, you
jade. Be careful to have some broth ready, for the other that I am to
take soon.
TOI. This Mr. Fleurant and Mr. Purgon amuse themselves finely with
your body. They have a rare milch-cow in you, I must say; and I should
like them to tell me what disease it is you have for them to physic
you so.
ARG. Hold your tongue, simpleton; it is not for you to control the
decrees of the faculty. Ask my daughter Angelique to come to me. I
have something to tell her.
TOI. Here she is, coming of her own accord; she must have guessed your
thoughts.
SCENE III.--ARGAN, ANGELIQUE, TOINETTE.
ARG. You come just in time; I want to speak to you.
ANG. I am quite ready to hear you.
ARG. Wait a moment. (_To_ TOINETTE) Give me my walking-stick;
I'll come back directly.
