SCA. (aside). We shall see about that.
ARG. (thinking himself alone). And as for that rascal Silvestre, I will cudgel him soundly.
SIL. (to SCAPIN). I should have been very much astonished if he had forgotten me.
ARG. (seeing SILVESTRE). Ah, ah! here you are, most wise governor of a family, fine director of young people!
SCA. Sir, I am delighted to see you back.
ARG. Good morning, Scapin. (To SILVESTRE) You have really followed my orders in a fine manner, and my son has behaved splendidly.
SCA. You are quite well, I see.
ARG. Pretty well. (To SILVESTRE) You don't say a word, you rascal!
SCA. Have you had a pleasant journey?
ARG. Yes, yes, very good. Leave me alone a little to scold this villain!
