At length, however, Mrs. Bennet had no more to say; and Lady Lucas, who had been long yawning at the repetition of delights which she saw no likelihood of sharing, was left to the comforts of cold ham and chicken. Elizabeth now began to revive. But not long was the interval of tranquillity; for, when supper was over, singing was talked of, and she had the mortification of seeing Mary, after very little entreaty, preparing to oblige the company. By many significant looks and silent entreaties, did she endeavour to prevent such a proof of complaisance, but in vain; Mary would not understand them; such an opportunity of exhibiting was delightful to her, and she began her song.

GUILDENSTERN Heavens make our presence and our practises Pleasant and helpful to him! QUEEN GERTRUDE Ay, amen!
Give you good health of body and of soul, And bless your days according to the wishes And prayers of its most humble votary! ELMIRE I'm very grateful for your pious wishes. But let's sit down, so we may talk at ease. TARTUFFE (after sitting down) And how are you recovered from your illness? ELMIRE (sitting down also) Quite well; the fever soon let go its hold. TARTUFFE My prayers, I fear, have not sufficient merit To have drawn down this favour from on high; But each entreaty that I made to Heaven Had for its object your recovery. ELMIRE You're too solicitous on my behalf. TARTUFFE We could not cherish your dear health too much; I would have given mine, to help restore it. ELMIRE That's pushing Christian charity too far; I owe you many thanks for so much kindness. TARTUFFE I do far less for you than you deserve. ELMIRE There is a matter that I wished to speak of In private; I am glad there's no one here To listen. TARTUFFE Madam, I am overjoyed.
