ROXANE:
And tell me, while I wipe away the blood,
How many ’gainst you?

CYRANO:
Oh! A hundred—near.

ROXANE:
Come, tell me!

CYRANO:
No, let be. But you, come tell
The thing, just now, you dared not. . .

ROXANE (keeping his hand):
Now, I dare!
The scent of those old days emboldens me!
Yes, now I dare. Listen. I am in love.

CYRANO:
Ah!. . .

ROXANE:
But with one who knows not.

CYRANO:
Ah!. . .

ROXANE:
Not yet.

CYRANO:
Ah!. . .
