The Middle Class Gentleman: Scene XI
Scene XI
(Madame Jourdain, Cléonte, Lucile, Covielle, Nicole)
MADAME JOURDAIN
I am very glad to see you, Cléonte and you are
here at just the right time. My husband is coming, seize the opportunity
to ask for Lucile in marriage.
CLÉONTE
Ah! Madame, how sweet that word is to me, and how it
flatters my desires! Could I receive an order more charming, a favor more
precious?
