Question

How does the playwright bring out Pierre’s nervousness when he presents himself as the messenger to carry the eel pie?

Answer 1

The playwright brings out Pierre's nervousness when he presents himself as the messenger to carry the eel pie by showing how he mixed up the dialogues in front of Marion. Instead of saying, "Mr. Gaultier sent me to fetch the eel pie", he said, "I have come from M. Pie, who sends me to fetch the Gaultier".
