Scene 3.VII.



Cyrano, Christian, a capuchin friar.



CYRANO (to the friar):

  What do you, playing at Diogenes?



THE FRIAR:

  I seek the house of Madame. . .



CHRISTIAN:

  Oh! plague take him!



THE FRIAR:

  Madeleine Robin. . .



CHRISTIAN:

  What would he?. . .



CYRANO (pointing to a street at the back):

  This way!

  Straight on. . .



THE FRIAR

  I thank you, and, in your intention

  Will tell my rosary to its last bead.



(He goes out.)



CYRANO:

  Good luck!  My blessings rest upon your cowl!



(He goes back to Christian.)
