DRAMATIS PERSONÆ.


DON GARCIA, _Prince of Navarre, in love with Elvira_.

[Footnote: In the inventory taken after Molière's death mention is made
of "Spanish dress, breeches, cloth cloak, and a satin doublet, the whole
adorned with silk embroideries." This is probably the dress in which
Molière played _Don Garcia_.]

the name of Don Silvio_.

DON ALVAREZ, _confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza_.

DON LOPEZ, _another confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza_.
