ARISTE: Well? There goes the wife, brother, and I can tell
That you have had a little talk together.

CHRYSALE: Yes.

Did she consent? The match is made?

CHRYSALE: Not completely yet.

ARISTE: Did she refuse?

CHRYSALE: No.

ARISTE: Is she thinking it over?

CHRYSALE: Not at all.

ARISTE: What then?

CHRYSALE: It’s that she’s offered me another man for son-in-law.

ARISTE: Another man for son-in-law?

CHRYSALE: Another.

ARISTE: Whose name is?

CHRYSALE: Monsieur Trippeldolt.
