La Grange Monologue from The Pretentious Young Ladies

From The Pretentious Young Ladies by Molière

Well? (DU. CR: What do you say of our visit? Are you quite pleased with it?) Do you think either of us has any reason to be so? (DU. CR: Not at all, to say the truth.) As for me, I must acknowledge I was quite shocked at it. Pray now, did ever anybody see a couple of country wenches giving themselves more ridiculous airs, or two men treated with more contempt than we were? They could hardly make up their mind to order chairs for us. I never saw such whispering as there was between them; such yawning, such rubbing of the eyes, and asking so often what o'clock it was. Did they answer anything else but "yes," or "no," to what we said to them? In short, do you not agree with me that if we had been the meanest persons in the world, we could not have been treated worse?
