HAWKERS. (outside their shops)
Come, buy my oranges!
Hot roasted chestnuts!
Trinkets and crosses!
Fine hardbake!
Excellent toffee!
Flowers for the ladies!
Try our candy!
Cream for the babies!
Fat larks and ortolans!
Look at them!
Fine salmon!
Look at our chestnuts!
Who'll buy my carrots?
THE CROWD.
CITIZENS. What a racket!
WOMEN. What uproar!
STUDENTS and WORK GIRLS.
Hold fast to me; come along!
A MOTHER. (calling her children) Lisa! Emma!
CITIZENS. Ho! make way there!
THE MOTHER. Emma, don't you hear me?
STUDENTS and WORK GIRLS. Rue Mazarin's the nearest.
