Cov Monologue from The Shopkeeper Turned Gentleman

From The Shopkeeper Turned Gentleman by Molière

male · comedic · 1:02 min

At the thought of something that has just come into my head; it will play off our man, and help you to succeed in what you want. (CLE: How so?) It is most amusing even to think of it. (CLE: What is it?) We have had lately a certain masquerade, which seems to me the very thing wanted, and which I mean to make use of to play a trick on our absurd old fellow. The whole affair seems rather silly, but with him we may risk many things; there is no need of much cunning, and he is one to play his part wonderfully well, and to swallow greedily all the nonsense we may venture to tell him. I have actors and costumes all ready; only leave it to me.
