The Flying Doctor (Le Médecin Volant)

Gor. I cannot find the doctor; I wonder where he went to hide himself. (_seeing_ _Sganarelle returning with his doctor's gown_) Ah! here he is. It is not sufficient, sir, to hav...

VAL. Ah! my poor Sganarelle, how glad I am to see you! I want your help in a most important business, but as I do not know what you can do ...

Law. Sir, from what Mr. Gorgibus has told me of your merit and talents, I had the greatest longing in the world to be introduced to you, and I have taken the liberty of addressi...

SAB. I am glad to meet you, uncle, to tell you of a good piece of news: I bring the cleverest doctor in the world, a man who comes from foreign lands, who knows the most importa...

SAB. I have really much to tell you. My uncle is bent upon marrying my cousin to Villebrequin, and things have gone so far, that I believe the wedding would have taken place to-...

Sgan. I thought so. Yes, the great doctor I spoke of, in the chapter he made on the nature of animals, said ... a hundred fine things; and how the humours which have connexion,...

GR.-RE. Why the deuce do you think of giving your daughter in marriage to an old man? Don't you see that it is the longing she has for a young one that makes her ill? See the at...

Sgan. Worked wonders upon wonders! I have done so well, that Gorgibus really believes me to be a clever doctor. I went to his house, I ordered him to send his daughter to breath...

Gor. I forgive you; and, on seeing such a good son-in-law, think myself happily deceived by Sganarelle. Now, let us all go to the wedding, and drink the health of the company.

Law. I have heard that the daughter of Mr. Gorgibus is ill; I must go and inquire after her health, and offer my services, as the friend of the whole family. (_Knocks._) Is Mr....

Val. I am forced to acknowledge that I should never have thought that Sganarelle could have done so well. (Sganarelle _returns in his servant's dress_) Ah! my dear fellow, under...

I wonder what Sganarelle has done; I have no news from him; I wish I knew where to meet him (Sganarelle _returns in his usual dress_). Ah! here he is. Well! Sganarelle, and what...
