Roxane!....

CYRANO (quickly and in a low tone, in the ear of Christian, while Roxane, frantic, dips into the water of the helmet a piece of linen which she has torn from her breast).

(Christian closes his eyes.)

ROXANE.

What is it, my love?

CARBON.

Ramrods.... high!

ROXANE (to Cyrano).

He is not dead?....
