Le Bret, Ragueneau.RAGUENEAU
Since you are here, 'tis best she should not know! I was going to your friend just now--was but
LE BRET
Cowards! O Cyrano!
RAGUENEAU
I ran--I saw. . .
LE BRET
'Tis hideous!
RAGUENEAU
Saw our poet, Sir--our friend-- Struck to the ground--a large wound in his head!
LE BRET
He's dead?
RAGUENEAU
No--but--I bore him to his room. . . Ah! his room! What a thing to see!--that garret!
LE BRET
He suffers?
RAGUENEAU
No, his consciousness has flown.
LE BRET
Saw you a doctor?
One was kind--he came.
LE BRET
My poor Cyrano!--We must not tell this To Roxane suddenly.--What said this leech?--
RAGUENEAU
Said,--what, I know not--fever, meningitis!-- Ah! could you see him--all his head bound up!-- But let us haste!--There's no one by his bed!-- And if he try to rise, Sir, he might die!
LE BRET
(dragging him toward the right)
Come! Through the chapel! 'Tis the quickest way!
ROXANE
(appearing on the steps, and seeing Le Bret go away by the colonnade leading to the chapel door)
Monsieur le Bret!
(Le Bret and Ragueneau disappear without answering)Le Bret goes--when I call! 'Tis some new trouble of good Ragueneau's.
(She descends the steps.)
