In Act I, Scene IV, Lucas and Valère come upon the protaganist's spouse who hatches a plan involving them to get back at the wifebeater. After being beaten into his presumed role by the two, the protagonist abuses it by trying to cop a feel on Lucas' wife, the wet-nurse Jacqueline. Géronte, the master of Lucas and Valere, is impressed by the protaganist's fake knowledge of Latin and hires him to figure out why his daughter Lucinde won't speak. For ten points, name this 1666 work in which Sganarelle is forced to try and treat some patients, a comedy by Molière.
