Har. Master Jacques.
Val. (to Master Jacques). You say that?
Jac. You see that I am not saying anything.
Har. He certainly did. There is the officer who has received his deposition.
Val. Can you really believe me capable of such a base action?
Har. Capable or not capable, I must find my money.
SCENE VI.——HARPAGON, ANSELME, ÉLISE, MARIANNE, CLÉANTE, VALÈRE, FROSINE, THE POLICE OFFICER, MASTER JACQUES, LA FLÈCHE.
Cle. Do not grieve for your money, father, and accuse any one. I have news of it, and I come here to tell you that if you consent to let me marry Marianne, your money will be given back to you.
Har. Where is it?
Cle. Do not trouble yourself about that. It is in a safe place, and I answer for it; everything depends on your resolve. It is for you to decide, and you have the choice either of losing Marianne or your cash-box.
