Read in English by Roger Melin; ToddHW; Sandra Schmit; Sonia; Tomas Peter; Nemo; Adam DeFord; Beth Thomas; alanmapstone; Eva Davis; TJ Burns; Larry Wilson; Leanne Yau
"The characters are well delineated, and fathers, lovers, mistresses, and servants all move about amidst a complication of errors from which there is no visible disentangling. The conversation between Valère and Ascanio in man's clothes, the mutual begging pardon of Albert and Polydore, the natural astonishment of Lucile, accused in the presence of her father, and the stratagem of Eraste to get the truth from his servants, are all described in a masterly manner, whilst the tiff between Eraste and Lucile, which gives the title to the piece, as well as their reconciliation, are considered among the best scenes of this play." - Summary by The Translator
