CYRANO DE BERGERAC
178

The Friar

[who has turned his lantern on Cyrano].

'Tis you ?

Christian.

'Tis I!

The Friar

[turning the light on to him, and as if a doubt struck him on seeing his beauty].

But . . .

Roxane

[quickly].

I have overlooked the postscript see : -
"Give twenty pistoles for the Convent."

The Friar.

. . . Oh!
Most worthy lord !

[To Roxane.]

Submit you !

Roxane

[with a martyr's look].

I submit !

[While Ragueneau opens the door, and Christian invites the Friar to enter, she whispers to Cyrano.]

Oh, keep De Guiche at bay ! He will be here !
Let him not enter till . . .

Cyrano.

I understand !

[To the Friar.]

What time need you to tie the marriage-knot ?
