CYRANO DE BERGERAC
Christian.
What! Every day?
Cyrano.
Yes, every day, twice.
Christian
[violently].
And that became so mad a joy for you, that you braved death…
Cyrano
[seeing Roxane returning].
Hush! Not before her!
[He goes hurriedly into his tent.]
SCENE VIII
Roxane, Christian. In the distance Cadets coming and going. Carbon and De Guiche give orders.
Roxane
[running up to Christian].
Ah, Christian, at last!…
Christian
[taking her hands].
Ah, Christian, at last!… Now tell me why—
Why, by these fearful paths so perilous—
Across these ranks of ribald soldiery,
You have come?
Roxane.
You have come? Love, your letters brought me here!
