CYRANO DE BERGERAC

A Musketeer

[advancing to Cyrano with outstretched hand].

There is a hero for you!… Sir, permit;
Nought could be finer;—I'm a judge, I think;
I stamped, i' faith!—to show my admiration!

[He goes away.]

Who is that gentleman?

CUTIGY.

Who is that gentleman? Why—D'Artagnan!

Le Bret

[to Cyrano, taking his arm].

A word with you!…

A word with you!… Wait, let the rabble go!…

[To Bellerose.]

May I stay?

May I stay? Without doubt?

[Cries are heard outside].

May I stay? Without doubt? They hoot Montfleury!
