Scene V Philaminte, Armande, Clitandre
PHI. (to CLITANDRE). You, Sir, as a friend of the family, may assist at the signing of the contract, for I am willing to invite you to it. Armande, be sure you send for the notary, and tell your sister of my decision.
ARM. There is no need of saying anything to my sister; this gentleman will be pretty sure to take the news to her, and try and dispose her heart to rebellion.
PHI. We shall see who has most power over her, and whether I can bring her to a sense of her duty.
