The Imaginary Invalid

by Molière

SCENE I.—BÉRALDE, ARGAN, TOINETTE.

Ber. Well, brother, what do you say to that? Isn’t it as good as a dose of cassia?

Toi. Oh! good cassia is a very good thing, Sir.

Ber. Now, shall we have a little chat together.

Arg. Wait a moment, brother, I’ll be back directly.

Toi. Here, Sir; you forget that you cannot get about without a stick.

Arg. Ay, to be sure.
