Context

“MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: It's true, these are favors that confound me. MADAME JOURDAIN: (To Nicole) Will he never go? NICOLE: They enjoy being together. DORANTE: You took the right tack to touch her heart. Women love above all the expenses we go to for them; and your frequent serenades, your continual bouquets, that superb fireworks for her over the water, the diamond she has received from you, and the entertainment you are preparing for her, all this speaks much better in favor of your love than all the words you might have spoken yourself.” source
