SCENE XV.--CATHOS, MADELON, LUCILE, CELIMENE, MASCARILLE, JODELET, MAROTTE, AND MUSICIANS.
MAD. What is the meaning of this? JOD. It is a wager. CAT. What, allow yourselves to be beaten thus? MASC. Good Heavens! I did not wish to appear to take any notice of it; because I am naturally very violent, and should have flown into a passion. MAD. To suffer an insult like this in our presence! MASC. It is nothing. Let us not leave off. We have known one another for a long time, and among friends one ought not to be so quickly offended for such a trifle. |
