From The School for Husbands by Molière

Tell him at least plainly, so that it may be in vain for him to gainsay it, that I have been told of his intentions upon good authority; that, after this message, whatever he may undertake, I defy him to surprise me; and, lastly, that, without wasting any more sighs or time, he must know what are my feelings for you; that, if he wishes not to be the cause of some mischief, he should not require to have the same thing told twice over. (SGAN: I will tell him what is right.) But all this in such a way as to show him that I really speak seriously. (SGAN: There, I will forget nothing, I assure you.) I await your return impatiently. Pray, make as much haste as you can. I pine when I am a moment without seeing you.
