The Middle Class Gentleman: Scene XIV
Scene XIV
(Monsieur Jourdain, Lackey)
MONSIEUR JOURDAIN
What the devil is this? They have nothing other than
the great lords to reproach me with, and as for me, I see nothing so fine
as to associate with the great lords; there is only honor and civility
among them, and I would have given two fingers of a hand to have been born
a count or a marquis.
LACKEY
Sir, here's the Count, and he has a lady with him.
MONSIEUR JOURDAIN
What! My Goodness, I have some orders to give. Tell
them I'll be back here soon.
