I'd hate to think he's found some place to hide.

SCENE VI
Orgon, Elmire

Orgon [coming out from under the table]. There, I swear, is an abominable man!
I can't get over it. What is his plan?
Elmire. How now? Come out so soon? Were you having fun?
Get back down there. We've only just begun.
Wait till the end to be completely sure,
And don't put your faith in mere conjecture.
Orgon. No man more evil has been spawned in Hell.
Elmire. Dear Lord! Don't believe the lies people tell.
Be wholly convinced before you concede:
Cautious men shun the slips that come with speed.
[She pushes her husband behind her.]

SCENE VII
Tartuffe, Elmire, Orgon

Tartuffe [without seeing Orgon]. All things conspire, madame, for my contentment:
I've closely examined the whole apartment;
No one is around, and my heart's delight. . .
[Just as Tartuffe comes forward with open arms to embrace Elmire, she steps back and Tartuffe sees Orgon.]

Tartuffe [to Orgon]. What? You think . . .
Orgon. Come, please, let's have no to-do.
Get out of my home without more ado.
Tartuffe. My intent . . .
Orgon. This is no time for sly repartee;
You must leave my house immediately.
Tartuffe. You must leave, you who speak as the master:
The house is mine, and you'd better learn fast or
I will show you that it's senseless to pick
A fight with me using this cowardly trick,
That it will get you nowhere to insult me,
And that I will punish your falsity,
Avenge God's wounds, and make you grieve
For talking here about forcing me to leave.

SCENE VIII
Elmire, Orgon

Elmire. What is he saying and what is he after?
Orgon. I'm ashamed to say t
