VALERE: And my wig.
FRONTIN: Good. Have I bought it. I found this under my hand, quite ready. And your most handsome lace, and largest jewel.
VALERE: I've seen you do crazy things before, but nothing touching such insolence.
FRONTIN: It's come right on time, sir, this opulence.
VALERE: Scoundrel, you've picked a bad time to joke.
FRONTIN: I picked my time just right, I dare to boast. To know how to manage times for a master.
VALERE: To dare appear like this!
FRONTIN: Sir, till now, I've been careful to conceal my scoundrel like and insolent traits. That's why you hired me! Only working first on my own affairs, I have taken care to hide my traits with all necessary skill. You would have prevented me from acting as I have done. To deceive cleverly is virtue in a valet. You will have it that it's a vice in a master. I must tell you you are scrupulous to a fault. What I have done for you was done unknown to you.
VALERE: What have you done for me?
FRONTIN: It's a mere nothing. I'm working on marrying you to Isabelle.
