CYRANO:
At last! This is true valor, Sir!

FIRST CADET:
Then you are Gascon after all, spite of your lace collar?

ROXANE:
What is all this?

DE GUICHE:
I leave no woman in peril.

SECOND CADET (to the first):
Hark you! Think you not we might give him something to eat?

(All the viands reappear as if by magic.)

DE GUICHE (whose eyes sparkle):
Victuals!

THE THIRD CADET:
Yes, you’ll see them coming from under every coat!

DE GUICHE (controlling himself, haughtily):
Do you think I will eat your leavings?

CYRANO (saluting him):
You make progress.
