AND. (Knocks at the door). You shall be satisfied immediately.
LEL. What can I say to you? And what thanks…?
AND. No, give me none; I will have none.
SCENE VII.—LELIO, ANDRÈS, MASCARILLE.
MASC. (Aside). Hallo! Is this not my mad-cap master? He will make another blunder.
LEL. Who would have known him in this grotesque dress? Come hither,
Mascarille, you are welcome.
MASC. I am a man of honour; I am not Mascarille, I never debauched any married or unmarried woman.
[Footnote: Mascarille answers in his gibberish, "Moi non point Masquerille," an allusion to maquerelle a female pander; hence his further remarks.]
LEL. What funny gibberish! It is really very good!
MASC. Go about your business, and do not laugh at me.
