Dorine Monologue from Tartuffe

From Tartuffe by Molière

female · comedic · 59 sec

Whoa now! Why don't you let your step-mother Manage him just as she does your father. Over Tartuffe she has her own little ways Of making him welcome all that she says, And perhaps she makes his heart go pitter-patter. Pray God it's true! That would be a fine matter. In fact she has summoned him for your sake In order to learn exactly what's at stake, To find out his feelings, and to let him know What really rotten results would flow From any pretensions he might have to marry. His valet says he's praying, and I should tarry-- That he'll descend after he meditates. Be off then, I beg you, and let me wait.
