Act I, Scene 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.)
