VICOMTE.

CYRANO.

I have no gloves on?.... What matters it? I did have one left from a very old pair! One day I found it somewhat in the way .... and I left it on somebody's face.

VICOMTE.

Knave, puppy, flat-footed ridiculous bully!

CYRANO (taking off his hat and bowing, as if the Vicomte had just presented himself).

Ah! delighted!.... and I: Cyrano, Savinian, Hercules de Bergerac.

(Laughter around.)

VICOMTE (exasperated).
