What is of great concern to you is that he is in love with your daughter. (MR. JOUR: The son of the Grand Turk?) Yes, and that he wishes to, become your son-in-law. (MR. JOUR: My son-in-law, the son of the Grand Turk!) The son of the Grand Turk your son-in-law When I went to see him, as I understand his language perfectly, we had a long chat together; and after having talked of different things, he told me, Acciam croc soler onch alla moustaph gidelum amanahem varahini oussere carbulath? that is to say, "Have you not seen a beautiful young girl who is the daughter of Mr. Jourdain, a nobleman of Paris?"
