TARTUFFE, DORINE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

TARTUFFE (speaking to his valet, off the stage, as soon as he sees Dorine is there)<\/span>
\nLawrence, put up my hair-cloth shirt and scourge,<\/span>
\nAnd pray that Heaven may shed its light upon you.<\/span>
\nIf any come to see me, say I’m gone<\/span>
\nTo share my alms among the prisoners.<\/span><\/p>\n

DORINE (aside)<\/span>
\nWhat affectation and what showing off!<\/span><\/p>\n

TARTUFFE<\/span>
\nWhat do you want with me?<\/span><\/p>\n

DORINE<\/span>
\nTo tell you . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

TARTUFFE (taking a handkerchief from his pocket)<\/span>
\nAh!<\/span>
\nBefore you speak, pray take this handkerchief.<\/span><\/p>\n

DORINE<\/span>
\nWhat?<\/span><\/p>\n

TARTUFFE<\/span>
\nCover up that bosom, which I can’t<\/span>
\nEndure to look on. Things like that offend<\/span>
\nOur souls, and fill our minds with sinful thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n

DORINE<\/span>
\nAre you so tender to temptation, then,<\/span>
\nAnd has the flesh such power upon your senses?<\/span>
\nI don’t know how you get in such a heat;<\/span>
\nFor my part, I am not so prone to lust,<\/span>
\nAnd I could see you stripped from head to foot,<\/span>
\nAnd all your hide not tempt me in the least.<\/span><\/p>\n

TARTUFFE<\/span>
\nShow in your speech some little modesty,<\/span>
\nOr I must instantly take leave of you.<\/span><\/p>\n

DORINE<\/span>
\nNo, no, I’ll leave you to yourself; I’ve only<\/span>
\nOne thing to say: Madam will soon be down,<\/span>
\nAnd begs the favour of a word with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

TARTUFFE<\/span>
\nAh! Willingly.<\/span><\/p>\n

DORINE (aside)<\/span>
\nHow gentle all at once!<\/span>
\nMy faith, I still believe I’ve hit upon it.<\/span><\/p>\n

TARTUFFE<\/span>
\nWill she come soon?<\/span><\/p>\n

DORINE<\/span>
\nI think I hear her now.<\/span>
\nYes, here she is herself; I’ll leave you with her.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"menu_order":2,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-56","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":44,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/56","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/56\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/56\/revisions\/57"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/44"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/56\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=56"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=56"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=56"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
