Forgive my basic english. It's just to give you an idea about the meaning.

Gorgibus: Je te dis que le mariage est une chose sainte et sacrée, et que c'est faire en honnêtes gens, que de débuter par là.

I tell you that the marriage is a holy and sacred thing, and it's to behave like honest people than beginning by it.

Madelon: Mon dieu! que si tout le monde vous ressemblait, un roman serait bientôt fini! La belle chose que ce serait, si d'abord Cyrus épousait Mandane, et qu'Aronce de plain-pied fût marié à Clélie! ... Laissez-nous faire à loisir le tissu de notre roman, et n'en pressez pas tant la conclusion.

God! If everybody looked like you (did the same), a novel would be soon over. It would be nice indeed if, first Cyrus was marrying Mandane, and if Aronce married Clélie right away!... Let us build our novel our way and don't make us hurry -to reach- the end.
