Act 2 — SCENE X.—HIPPOLYTA, LEANDER, MASCARILLE.
Reading edition
HIPP. I have some news for you, Leander, but will you be pleased or displeased with it?
LEAND. To judge of that, and make answer off-hand, I should know it.
HIPP. Give me your hand, then, as far as the church, and I will tell it you as we go.
[Footnote: Generally it was thought preferable, during Molière's lifetime, to use the word temple for "church," instead of église.]
LEAND. (To Mascarille). Go, make haste, and serve me in that business without delay.
