CYRANO DE BERGERAC

Cyrano

[letting go Roxane's hand and exclaiming].

Ah God!

Roxane.

Ah God! What is it?

Cyrano

[to himself—stunned].

Ah God! What is it? All is over now.

[Renewed reports.]

Roxane.

What is the matter? Hark! another shot!

[She goes up to look outside.]

Cyrano.

It is too late, now I can never tell!

Roxane

[trying to rush out].

What has chanced?

Cyrano

[rushing to stop her].

What has chanced? Nothing!

[Some Cadets enter, trying to hide something they are carrying, and close round it to prevent Roxane approaching.]

Roxane.

What has chanced? Nothing! And those men?
