CYRANO.

ROXANE.

To my mind, it would be impossible for anyone to deliver with more elegance and wit than he does these pretty trifles that are nothing, if you will—and still are everything. At times, it is true, he seems quite absent-minded; but, suddenly, he recovers and says the most charming things!

CYRANO (incredulous).

You surprise me!

ROXANE.

You men are really astonishing! Because Christian is handsome, he must be stupid!
