You make progress.
De Guiche
[proudly, with a light touch of accent on the word 'breaking'].
I will fight without br-r-eaking my fast!
First Cadet
[wild with delight].
Br-r-r-eaking! He has got the accent!
De Guiche
[laughing].
I?
The Cadet.

[All begin to dance.]
Carbon de Castel-Jaloux
[who had disappeared behind the rampart, reappearing on the ridge].
I have drawn my pikemen up in line. They are a resolute troop.
[He points to a row of pikes, the tops of which are seen over the ridge.]
De Guiche
[bowing to Roxane].
Will you accept my hand, and accompany me while I review them?
[She takes it, and they go up towards the rampart. All uncover and follow them.]
