[3]. Frosine professes a knowledge of palmistry.

[4]. Old enemies. The Turks took Candia from the Venetians in 1669, after a war of twenty years.

[5]. Molière makes use even of his own infirmities. Compare act i. scene iii. This cough killed him at last.

[6]. A good deal of the mystification is lost in the translation through the necessity of occasionally putting it for casket, and she for Élise.
