Chapter 24

Elmire, Orgon

Elmire. What is he saying and what is he after? Orgon. I'm ashamed to say this is no time for laughter. Elmire. Why? Orgon. I see my error by what he said; I gave him my lands. Something's wrong with my head! Elmire. You gave him . . . Orgon. Yes and they can't be restored, But there's something else that troubles me more. Elmire. What is that? Orgon. I'll tell you soon, but first there's A certain box I want to find upstairs.
