SCENE VIII.—ARGAN, TOINETTE, BÉRALDE.
Toi. (to Argan). There is a doctor, here, Sir, who desires to see you.
Arg. What doctor?
Toi. A doctor of medicine.
Arg. I ask you who he is?
Toi. I don’t know who he is, but he is as much like me as two peas, and if I was not sure that my mother was an honest woman, I should say that this is a little brother she has given me since my father’s death.
SCENE IX.—ARGAN, BÉRALDE.
Ber. You are served according to your wish. One doctor leaves you, another comes to replace him.
Arg. I greatly fear that you will cause some misfortune.
Ber. Oh! You are harping upon that string again?
