ROXANE:
Ah!
You’ll promise me you will do this for me?
I’ve always held you as a tender friend.

CYRANO:
Ay, ay.

ROXANE:
Then you will be his friend?

CYRANO:
I swear!

ROXANE:
And he shall fight no duels, promise!

CYRANO:
None.

ROXANE:
You are kind, cousin! Now I must be gone.
(She puts on her mask and veil quickly; then, absently):
You have not told me of your last night’s fray.
Ah, but it must have been a hero-fight!. . .
—Bid him to write.
(She sends him a kiss with her fingers):
How good you are!

CYRANO:
Ay! Ay!

ROXANE:
A hundred men against you? Now, farewell.—
We are great friends?

CYRANO:
Ay, ay!
