Jul. Do what you will, we will be married in spite of everybody.
Oro. I shall know how to prevent it, I forewarn you. What madness has taken hold of her?
SCENE VII.——ORONTE, MR. DE POURCEAUGNAC.
Mr. Pour. I say, our intended father-in-law, don't give yourself so much trouble; I have no intention of running away with your daughter; and your pretence won't take at all.
Oro. And yours will in no way succeed.
Mr. Pour. Did you think that Leonardo de Pourceaugnac is a man to buy a pig in a poke, and that he has not the sense to find out what goes on in the world, and to see if, in marrying, his honour is safe?
Oro. I do not know what you mean; but did you take into your head that a man of sixty-three years old has so little common sense, and so little consideration for his daughter, as to marry her to a man who has you know what, and who was put with a doctor to be cured?
Mr. Pour. This is a trick that was practised upon me, and there is nothing the matter with me.
Oro. The doctor told us so himself.
Mr. Pour. The doctor told a lie. I am a gentleman, and I will meet him sword in hand.
