CYRANO: Somewhat?. . .
THE DUENNA (still courtesying): Ay, private matters!
CYRANO (staggering): Ah, my God!
THE DUENNA: To-morrow, at the early blush of dawn, We go to hear mass at St. Roch.
CYRANO (leaning against Le Bret): My God!
THE DUENNA: After—what place for a few minutes’ speech?
CYRANO (confused): Where? Ah!. . .but. . .Ah, my God!. . .
THE DUENNA: Say!
CYRANO: I reflect!. . .
THE DUENNA: Where?
CYRANO: At—the pastry-house of Ragueneau.
