TWO PRECIOUS MAIDENS RIDICULED- Moliere
Cathos
How
can we welcome men who have only the crudest idea of gallantry? I’d wager that they have never seen the Map
of the Love-scape; they are quite unfamiliar with such place-names as
Love-letters, Tiny-attentions, Gallant-words, and Pretty-poems. Their very appearance lacks that gracious air
that impresses people. Coming to court
us without a ribbon on their claves or a plume in their hats! Without touching up their hair after they
walk in! And wearing clothes with not a
single decoration on them! Good high
heaven, what sort of lovers are they!
With their drab outfits and dreary conversation, we couldn’t possibly
have gone any farther with them. Their
shirtfronts come from the wrong tailor and their breeches are six noticeable
inches too narrow. All I can say to you,
Uncle, is that I consider marriage quite distasteful. How can one support the thought of lying
beside a man who is literally naked?
