Perhaps I ’ ll swoon — or hit him , too — to see this hubbub in my room !
MASCARILLE ( DISGUISED AS SGANARELLE ) [ JUST NOTICING SGANARELLE ]: Ah ha , the Devil in his tracks ! —[ DISCLOSING HIMSELF ] I ’ ll have no commerce in his guise ! ‘ Tis me , your Mascarille .
LUCILLE : It seems to me each bed has found a symmetry both fit and sound , howe ’ er inverse . But what the deuce does bring about the friar to this knave ’ s soiree ?
CLUTTERBUCK [ TO MADAM CLUTTERBUCK ]: An apt question !
MADAM CLUTTERBUCK : Now ’ s the time we should confess our foibles , and make redress . Except , Lucille , I will admit has no guilt in all of this , such blundering and imposture . Thus I hope that all of us , who ’ ve been remiss , should hold our tongues and just accept that what makes sense is Sganerelle has come to wed both Mascarille and Lucille now .
CLUTTERBUCK : Quite right !
SGANARELLE : Quite so !
MASCARILLE : [ ASIDE :] Oh no .
