There is nothing that I would not do for....
SCENE V.--ARGAN, ANGELIQUE, CLEANTE, TOINETTE.
TOI. (_to_ ARGAN). Indeed, Sir, I am of your opinion now, and I
unsay all that I said yesterday. Here are Mr. Diafoirus the father,
and Mr. Diafoirus the son, who are coming to visit you. How well
provided with a son-in-law you will be! You will see the best-made
young fellow in the world, and the most intellectual. He said but two
words to me, it is true, but I was struck with them, and your daughter
will be delighted with him.
ARG. (_to_ CLEANTE, _who moves as if to go_). Do not go,
Sir. I am about, as you see, to marry my daughter, and they have just
brought her future husband, whom she has not as yet seen.
CLE. You do me great honour, Sir, in wishing me to be witness of such
a pleasant interview.
ARG. He is the son of a clever doctor, and the marriage will take
place in four days.
CLE. Indeed!
ARG. Please inform her music-master of it, that he may be at the
wedding.
CLE. I will not fail to do so.
ARG. And I invite you also.
CLE. You do me too much honour.
TOI. Come, make room; here they are.
SCENE VI.--MR. DIAFOIRUS, THOMAS DIAFOIRUS, ARGAN, ANGELIQUE, CLEANTE,
TOINETTE, SERVANTS.
ARG. (_putting up his hand to his night-cap without taking it
off_). Mr. Purgon has forbidden me to uncover my head. You belong
to the profession, and know what would be the consequence if I did so.
