ORGON, MARIANE
       ORGON
       Now, Mariane.
       MARIANE
       Yes, father?
       ORGON
       Come; I'll tell you
       A secret.
       MARIANE
       Yes . . . What are you looking for?
       ORGON (looking into a small closet-room)
       To see there's no one there to spy upon us;
       That little closet's mighty fit to hide in.
       There! We're all right now. Mariane, in you
       I've always found a daughter dutiful
       And gentle. So I've always love you dearly.
       MARIANE
       I'm grateful for your fatherly affection.
       ORGON
       Well spoken, daughter. Now, prove you deserve it
       By doing as I wish in all respects.
       MARIANE
       To do so is the height of my ambition.
       ORGON
       Excellent well. What say you of--Tartuffe?
       MARIANE
       Who? I?
       ORGON
       Yes, you. Look to it how you answer.
       MARIANE
       Why! I'll say of him--anything you please.
