Gor. I was looking for you everywhere to tell you that I have spoken to your brother. He has promised me that he will forgive you, but in order that I may be more sure of it, I want him to embrace you in my presence; step into my house, I will go and fetch him. Sgan. But, Mr. Gorgibus, I don't think you could find him now; besides, I should not like to stop in your house; I dread his anger too much. Gor. Indeed! you will stay there, for I shall lock you in. I am going now to fetch your brother; fear nothing; I assure you that he is no longer angry. (_Exit_ Gorgibus.) Sgan. (_at the window_). Well! I am caught this time. I see no way of escape. The clouds are very dark, and I greatly fear that, if they break, they will rain hard blows on my back; or that by a prescription stronger even than that of all the doctors, they will apply a royal cautery[5] to my shoulders. But why should I despair? Since I have done so much, I must go on to the end. Yes, yes; I must get clear of all this, and show that Sganarelle is the king of rogues. (Sganarelle _jumps out of the window and runs away._) Scene XIV.--Gros-René, Gorgibus, Sganarelle. Gr.-Re. Upon my word this is funny! How people jump out of the windows in this place! I must just stop here and see what comes of it. (_Hides._) 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 have forgiven your brother, I beg you to give me the satisfaction of seeing you embrace him. He is in my house; I was looking everywhere for you, to ask you to make your peace with him in my presence. Sgan. You are joking, Mr. Gorgibus; is it not sufficient that I should have forgiven him? I will never see him again. Gor. Do it for my sake, sir, I pray. Sgan. I can refuse you nothing: tell him to come down (_while_ Gorgibus _goes into the house by the door_, Sganarelle _goes in by the window_). Gor. (_at the window_). Here is your brother waiting for you yonder; he has promised me that he will do all you like. Sgan. (_at the window_). Mr. Gorgibus, I beg of you to make him come here; let me see him, and ask him, in private, to forgive me, for no doubt he would treat me roughly, and would shame me before everybody. (Gorgibus_ comes out of his house by the door_; Sganarelle _by the window_.) Gor. Very well, I will tell him. Sir, he says that he is thoroughly ashamed, and he begs you to come in, so that he may ask you in private to forgive him. Here is the key, you may come in. I beg of you not to refuse me, but give me this satisfaction.
