ROXANE.

Something important?....

CYRANO (bewildered).

What! he is gone!.... (to Roxane)

Oh, nothing!.... he attaches—Oh! well, you must know him!—a great deal of importance to trifles!

ROXANE (eagerly).

He doubts, perhaps, the truth of what I said?.... I could almost see he did not believe it!....

CYRANO (taking her by the hand).

But was what you said really true?
