CHRISTIAN. But what is the matter with your eyes? ROXANE. I will tell you later! GUICHE. But the post is a most dangerous one. ROXANE (_turning_). What! So dangerous? CYRANO. Yes, and the proof is that he assigned it to us. ROXANE (_to Guiche_). So, you desire to make a widow of me? GUICHE. I swear to you.... ROXANE. No! Now I am determined and I will not leave!.... Moreover, it is very exciting. CYRANO. What! will the "précieuse" turn out to be a heroine? ROXANE. Monsieur de Bergerac, I am your cousin. A CADET. Moreover, we will defend you desperately! ROXANE (_growing more and more excited_). I believe it, my friends! ANOTHER CADET (_elated_). A perfume of iris pervades the camp. ROXANE. Just so! I put some on this hat, which will be very becoming in the fray!.... (_looking at Guiche_). But perhaps it is time the Count should leave: the fight might begin. GUICHE. Ah! this is too much! I will inspect the guns and return .... You have a little time left still,....change your mind! ROXANE. Never! (_Exit Guiche._) _SCENE VI._ _The same, except_ GUICHE. CHRISTIAN (_supplicating_). Roxane!.... ROXANE. No! FIRST CADET (_to the others_). She remains! ALL (_rushing around hurriedly, and brushing up_). A comb!--Soap!--My doublet is torn: a needle!--A bright bow!--Your looking glass!--My cuffs!--Your curling iron!--A razor! ROXANE (_to Cyrano, who continues begging her to leave_). No! I will not budge from here! CARBON (_after having, like the others, tightened his belt and arranged his cuffs, advances toward Roxane and says ceremoniously:_) Such being the case, it may not seem improper for me to present to you a few of the gentlemen who will have the honour of dying before your eyes. (_Roxane bows, and waits leaning on the arm of Christian. Carbon makes the presentations._) Baron de Peyrescous de Colignac! A CADET (_bowing_). Madam.... CARBON (_continuing_). Baron de Casterac de Cahuzac!--Baron de Malgouyre Estressac Lesbas d'Escarabiot!--Chevalier d'Antignac-Juzet!--Baron Hillot de Blagnac--Salechan de Castel Crabioules! ROXANE. But how many names has each of you. BARON HILLOT. More than many.
