SISTER MARTHA (to Sister Claire, in a low voice):
The Marshal of Grammont?
SISTER CLAIRE (looking at him):
’Tis he, I think.
SISTER MARTHA:
’Tis many months now since he came to see her.
THE SISTERS:
He is so busy!—The Court,—the camp!. . .
SISTER CLAIRE:
The world!
(They go out. De Guiche and Roxane come forward in silence, and stop close to the embroidery frame.)
[Scene 5.II.]
Roxane; the Duke de Grammont, formerly Count de Guiche. Then Le Bret and Ragueneau.
THE DUKE:
And you stay here still—ever vainly fair,
Ever in weeds?
ROXANE:
Ever.
