Mascarille Monologue from The Blunderer

From The Blunderer by Molière

male · sarcastic · 46 sec

Now see what it is not to have perceived Jeannette, and to have always a blabbing tongue in your head! However, this time I am not angry with you, I have done cursing and swearing at you; though you behaved very imprudently, yet my hand has made your shoulders pay for your fault. (LEL: Ha! I shall be revenged on you for your treacherous behaviour.) You yourself were the cause of all this mischief. (LEL: I?) If you had had a grain of sense when you were talking to your idol you would have perceived Jeannette at your heels, whose sharp ears overheard the whole affair.
