The Would-Be Gentleman
by Olfson, Lewy

MUSIC MASTER: Music and dancing are not tricks, sir.

JOURDAIN (Dismissively): Well, whatever it is. Oh, I almost forgot. I want your opinions of my new suit! Isn’t it handsome?

MUSIC MASTER: Oh, quite! (Aside) Quite hideous, that is!

DANCING MASTER: It’s just right! (Aside) Just right for a fool!

JOURDAIN: Look at these colors, how elegantly they become me. You could search throughout Paris, and not another gentleman would you find that has a suit like this one.

DANCING MASTER: I well believe that!
