CLI. Yes, to-night.
CHRY. Well! and this very night I will, in order to thwart her, have you both married.
CLI. She has sent for the notary to draw up the contract.
CHRY. And I will go and fetch him for the one he must draw up.
CLI. And Henriette is to be told by her sister of the marriage to which she must look forward.
CHRY. And I command her with full authority to prepare herself for this other alliance. Ah! I will show them if there is any other master but myself to give orders in the house. (To HENRIETTE) We will return soon. Now, come along with me, brother; and you also, my son-in-law.
HEN. (to ARISTE). Alas! try to keep him in this disposition.
ARI. I will do everything to serve your love.
SCENE VIII.—HENRIETTE, CLITANDRE.
CLI. However great may be the help that is promised to my love, my greatest hope is in your constancy.
