Sbri Monologue from Monsieur De Pourceaugnac

From Monsieur De Pourceaugnac by Molière

male · comedic · 1:12 min

Our man has just come, Sir. I saw him at a place three leagues away from here, where the coach stops; and I studied him for more than half an hour in the kitchen, where he went down to breakfast, and I know him now perfectly. As to his appearance, I will say nothing about it; you will see for yourselves what nature has done for him, and if his dress is not the very thing to set that off. But as for his understanding, I can tell you beforehand that it is among the dullest I have met with for a long time. We shall find in him a fit subject to work upon as we like. He is just the man to fall into all the traps laid for him. (ERA: Is all that possible?) Perfectly true, and I am skilled in the knowledge of men.
