"Wait till you know him - " " and you will look up to him as I do!" "Think how happy we were - " "I love you!" "I love you!" "There, now you've disturbed him -!" "My brother, I fear you are cold - -?" "Very well." "I will try to get to know your friend Tartuffe!" "Send him to me!" "Oh, convince her and convert her to your way of thinking!" "If you are a true friend of my husband's " "then quit this house and go away from here - " "You are forcing my husband into religious fanaticism -!" "Dear lady " " Heaven sent me to you " "...In that case - - pray - - forgive me - - " "The impudent fellow!" "Call my husband immediately!" "I won't have my friend slandered -!" " - and if I were to give you proof - ?" "!" "" " I will put him to the test - and you, without being seen, shall be my witness!" "Right, make whatever arrangements are necessary!"
