A Selection from the Comedies of Marivaux
Marivaux, Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de
Comedy plays
[159] NOUS DIS. For the position of the object pronoun see note 18.
[160] EUES. The edition of 1738 prints _eu_. For similar carelessness in
Marivaux's use of the past participle compare _le Legs_, note 56, and note
158.
[161] AFFRONTE, 'Deceived' (Littre, 2 deg., also the Dict. de l'Acad., 1878).
[162] FERMIER, 'Farmer,' 'One holding a farm by lease.'
[163] ENTENDS. See _le Jeu de l'amour et du hasard_, note 247.
[164] A CAUSE QUE. See note 147.
[165] OUF! MA GLOIRE M'ACCABLE; ET JE MERITEROIS BIEN D'APPELER CETTE
FEMME-LA MA BRU. This expression, seeming too violent to the spectators of
to-day, was suppressed by the Comedie-Francaise, March 5, 1881. The play
ends with the words of Araminte. See Larroumet, p. 227, note 1.
[166] PARDI. See _le Jeu de l'amour et du hasard_, note 15.
