The first shot fired by the enemy!
(Roxane throws herself upon the body of Christian. Musketry again. Clash of arms. Shouts. Drums.)
CARBON OF HAUGHTY-HALL (sword in hand).
The attack! to your arms!
(Followed by the Cadets he goes to the other side of the embankment.)
ROXANE (in despair).
Christian! Christian!
THE VOICE OF CARBON (from behind the embankment).
Make haste there!
