Scene 1 VI
Cyrano, Le Bret, the duenna.
THE DUENNA (with a low bow):
I was bid ask you where a certain lady
Could see her valiant cousin—but in secret.
CYRANO (overwhelmed):
See me?
THE DUENNA (courtesying):
Ay, Sir! She has somewhat to tell.
CYRANO:
Somewhat?...
THE DUENNA (still courtesying):
Ay, private matters!
CYRANO (staggering):
Ah, my God!
THE DUENNA:
To-morrow, at the early blush of dawn,
We go to hear mass at St. Roch.
CYRANO (leaning against Le Bret):
My God!
THE DUENNA:
After—what place for a few minutes’ speech?
CYRANO (confused):
Where? Ah!...but...Ah, my God!...
THE DUENNA:
Say!
CYRANO:
I reflect!...
THE DUENNA:
Where?
CYRANO:
At—the pastry-house of Ragueneau.
THE DUENNA:
Where lodges he?
CYRANO:
The Rue—God!—St. Honore!
THE DUENNA (going):
Good. Be you there. At seven.
CYRANO:
Without fail.
(The duenna goes out.)
