Mascarille Monologue from The Blunderer

From The Blunderer by Molière

Certainly, you do wonders, and show to-day a most exquisite judgment and supreme good fortune. We shall prosper greatly; go on as you have begun. (LEL: What is the matter now? What have I done?) To speak plainly as you wish me to do, and as I ought, you have acted like a fool. You know very well that your father leaves you without money; that a formidable rival follows us closely; yet for all this, when to oblige you I venture on a trick of which I take all the shame and danger upon myself... (LEL: What? was this...?) Yes, ninny; it was to release the captive that I was getting the money, whereof your officiousness took care to deprive us.
