Luc Monologue from The Shopkeeper Turned Gentleman

From The Shopkeeper Turned Gentleman by Molière

male · defiant · 52 sec

I! I wish you to die! (CLE: Yes, you wish it.) Who told you such a thing? (CLE: Is it not wishing it, to refuse to clear up my suspicions?) Is it my fault? If you had but listened to me, I would have told you at once that the treatment you complain of was caused by the presence of an old aunt, who persists in saying that the mere approach of a man is dishonour to a girl; she is always lecturing us about it, and depicts all men to us as so many scamps whom we ought always to avoid.
