Human Flaws Of Orgon In Tartuffee
... everything he has into Tartuffe's hands. He proves how
much he believes this after Damis tells him that Tartuffe was flirting with
Elmire. From this accusation Orgon replies to Damis: "I disinherit you; an empty

William Shakespeare: Most Famous Of All English Writers
... About Nothing when it is said, "Speak low if you speak love."
