SCENE II (DORINE, ORGON, MARIANE) ORGON [perceiving DORINE] What do you stare at? You must be eaten up with curiosity To eavesdrop on my daughter and me. DORINE I don't know whether the rumor I hear Is sly conjecture or a wicked smear; But I've just heard word of this marriage, And I trust it is only verbiage. ORGON Why? Is the idea itself so very absurd? DORINE I wouldn't believe it, sir, if you gave your word! ORGON I will make you believe it by-and-by. DORINE Yes. You're going to tell us a bald-faced lie. ORGON I am only saying what you will soon see. DORINE Nonsense! ORGON What I say, dear girl, will soon be. |
