CARBON:
Beat a salute!
(A roll of drums. The cadets uncover.)
DE GUICHE:
Lower the carriage-steps!
(Two cadets rush forward. The door opens.)
ROXANE (jumping down from the carriage):
Good-day!
(All are bowing to the ground, but at the sound of a woman’s voice every head is instantly raised.)
[Scene 4.V.]
The same. Roxane.
DE GUICHE:
On the King’s service! You?
ROXANE:
Ay,—King Love’s! What other king?
