Gor. Quick! a table, paper and ink!
Sgan. Is there anybody here who can write?
Gor. What! do you not know how to write?
Sgan. Ah! I was forgetting; I have so many things to think of, that I forget the half…. I think it is quite necessary for your daughter to have a change of air and that she should go and enjoy herself somewhere in the country.
Gor. We have a very fine garden, and some rooms attached to it; if you think it will do, I will send her there.
Sgan. Let us go and see the place. ( Exeunt. )
SCENE VI.——THE LAWYER.
Law. I have heard that the daughter of Mr. Gorgibus is ill; I must go and inquire after her health, and offer my services, as the friend of the whole family. ( Knocks. ) Is Mr. Gorgibus at home? ( Enter Gorgibus.) Having heard of your daughter's illness, I come to tell you of my entire sympathy, and to put myself at your disposal for all that may be wanted of me.
Gor. I have just left the cleverest man in the world.
Law. Would it not be possible to speak with him for a few moments? ( Gorgibus fetches Sganarelle.)
