A FALSETTO VOICE:   Make place; brutes!

A LACKEY (astonished):   The Marquises!in the pit?。 。 。

ANOTHER LACKEY:   Oh! only for a minute or two!

(Enter a band of young marquises。)

A MARQUIS (seeing that the hall is half empty):   What now!  So we make our entrance like a pack of woolen…drapers!  Peaceably; without disturbing the folk; or treading on their toes!Oh; fie!  Fie! (Recognizing some other gentlemen who have entered a little before him):   Cuigy!  Brissaille!

(Greetings and embraces。)

CUIGY:   True to our word!。 。 。Troth; we are here before the candles are lit。

THE MARQUIS:   Ay; indeed!  Enough!  I am of an ill humor。

ANOTHER:   Nay; nay; Marquis! see; for your consolation; they are coming to light up!

ALL THE AUDIENCE (welcoming the entrance of the lighter):   Ah!。 。 。

(They form in groups round the lusters as they are lit。  Some people have taken their seats in the galleries。  Ligniere; a distinguished…looking roue; with disordered shirt…front arm…in…arm with christian de Neuvillette。  Christian; who is dressed elegantly; but rather behind the fashion; seems preoccupied; and keeps looking at the boxes。)



Scene 1。II。

The same。  Christian; Ligniere; then Ragueneau and Le Bret。

CUIGY:   Ligniere!

BRISSAILLE (laughing):   Not drunk as yet?

LIGNIERE (aside to Christian):   I may introduce you? (Christian nods in assent):   Baron de Neuvillette。

(Bows。)

THE AUDIENCE (applauding as the first luster is lighted and drawn up):   Ah!

CUIGY (to Brissaille; looking at Christian):   'Tis a pretty fellow!

FIRST MARQUIS (who has overheard):   Pooh!

LIGNIERE (introducing them to Christian):   My lords De Cuigy。  De Brissaille。 。 。

CHRISTIAN (bowing):   Delighted!。 。 。

FIRST MARQUIS (to second):   He is not ill to look at; but certes; he is not costumed in the latest mode。

LIGNIERE (to Cuigy):   This gentleman comes from Touraine。

CHRISTIAN:   Yes; I have scarce been twenty days in Paris; tomorrow I join the Guards; in the Cadets。

FIRST MARQUIS (watching the people who are coming into the boxes):   There is the wife of the Chief…Justice。

THE BUFFET…GIRL:   Oranges; milk。 。 。

THE VIOLINISTS (tuning up):   Lala

CUIGY (to Christian; pointing to the hall; which is filling fast):   'Tis crowded。

CHRISTIAN:   Yes; indeed。

FIRST MARQUIS:   All the great world!

(They recognize and name the different elegantly dressed ladies who enter the boxes; bowing low to them。  The ladies send smiles in answer。)

SECOND MARQUIS:   Madame de Guemenee。

CUIGY:   Madame de Bois…Dauphin。

FIRST MARQUIS:   Adored by us all!

BRISSAILLE:   Madame de Chavigny。 。 。

SECOND MARQUIS:   Who sports with our poor hearts!。 。 。

LIGNIERE:   Ha! so Monsieur de Corneille has come back from Rouen!

THE YOUNG MAN (to his father):   Is the Academy here?

THE BURGHER:   Oh; ay; I see several of them。  There is Boudu; Boissat;  and Cureau de la Chambre; Porcheres; Colomby; Bourzeys; Bourdon; Arbaud。 。 。all names that will live!  'Tis fine!

FIRST MARQUIS:   Attention!  Here come our precieuses; Barthenoide; Urimedonte; Cassandace; Felixerie。 。 。

SECOND MARQUIS:   Ah!  How exquisite their fancy names are!  Do you know them all; Marquis?

FIRST MARQUIS:   Ay; Marquis; I do; every one!

LIGNIERE (drawing Christian aside):   Friend; I but came here to give you pleasure。  The lady comes not。  I will betake me again to my pet vice。

CHRISTIAN (persuasively):   No; no!  You; who are ballad…maker to Court and City alike; can tell me better than any who the lady is for whom I die of love。  Stay yet awhile。

THE FIRST VIOLIN (striking his bow on the desk):   Gentlemen violinists!

(He raises his bow。)

THE BUFFET…GIRL:   Macaroons; lemon…drink。 。 。

(The violins begin to play。)

CHRISTIAN:   Ah!  I fear me she is coquettish; and over nice and fastidious! I; who am so poor of wit; how dare I speak to herhow address her? This language that they speak to…dayay; and writeconfounds me; I am but an honest soldier; and timid withal。  She has ever her place; there; on the rightthe empty box; see you!

LIGNIERE (making as if to go):   I must go。

CHRISTIAN (detaining him):   Nay; stay。

LIGNIERE:   I cannot。  D'Assoucy waits me at the tavern; and here one dies of thirst。

THE BUFFET…GIRL (passing before him with a tray):   Orange drink?

LIGNIERE:   Ugh!

THE BUFFET…GIRL:   Milk?

LIGNIERE:   Pah!

THE BUFFET…GIRL:   Rivesalte?

LIGNIERE:   Stay。 (To Christian):   I will remain awhile。Let me taste this rivesalte。

(He sits by the buffet; the girl pours some out for him。)

CRIES (from all the audience; at the entrance of a plump little man; joyously excited):   Ah!  Ragueneau!

LIGNIERE (to Christian):   'Tis the famous tavern…keeper Ragueneau。

RAGUENEAU (dressed in the Sunday clothes of a pastry…cook; going up quickly to Ligniere):   Sir; have you seen Monsieur de Cyrano?

LIGNIERE (introducing him to Christian):   The pastry…cook of the actors and the poets!

RAGUENEAU (overcome):   You do me too great honor。 。 。

LIGNIERE:   Nay; hold your peace; Maecenas that you are!

RAGUENEAU:   True; these gentlemen employ me。 。 。

LIGNIERE:   On credit!   He is himself a poet of a pretty talent。 。 。

RAGUENEAU:   So they tell me。

LIGNIERE:   Mad after poetry!

RAGUENEAU:   'Tis true that; for a little ode。 。 。

LIGNIERE:   You give a tart。 。 。

RAGUENEAU:   Oh!a tartlet!

LIGNIERE:   Brave fellow!  He would fain fain excuse himself!   And for a triolet; now; did you not give in exchange。 。 。

RAGUENEAU:   Some little rolls!

LIGNIERE (severely):   They were milk…rolls!  And as for the theater; which you love?

RAGUENEAU:   Oh! to distraction!  

LIGNIERE:   How pay you your tickets; ha?with cakes。   Your place; to…night; come tell me in my ear; what did it cost you?

RAGUENEAU:   Four custards; and fifteen cream…puffs。 (He looks around on all sides):   Monsieur de Cyrano is not here?  'Tis strange。

LIGNIERE:   Why so?

RAGUENEAU:   Montfleury plays!

LIGNIERE:   Ay; 'tis true that that old wine…barrel is to take Phedon's part to…night; but what matter is that to Cyrano?

RAGUENEAU:   How?  Know you not?  He has got a hot hate for Montfleury; and so!has forbid him strictly to show his face on the stage for one whole month。

LIGNIERE (drinking his fourth glass):   Well?

RAGUENEAU:   Montfleury will play!

CUIGY:   He can not hinder that。

RAGUENEAU:   Oh! oh! that I have come to see!

FIRST MARQUIS:   Who is this Cyrano?

CUIGY:   A fellow well skilled in all tricks of fence。

SECOND MARQUIS:   Is he of noble birth?

CUIGY:   Ay; noble enough。  He is a cadet in the Guards。 (Pointing to a gentleman who is going up and down the hall as if searching for some one):   But 'tis his friend Le Bret; yonder; who can best tell you。 (He calls him):   Le Bret! (Le Bret comes towards them):   Seek you for De Bergerac?

LE BRET:   Ay; I am uneasy。 。 。

CUIGY:   Is it not true that he is the strangest of men?

LE BRET (tenderly):   True; that he is the choicest of earthly beings!

RAGUENEAU:   Poet!

CUIGY:   Soldier!

BRISSAILLE:   Philosopher!

LE BRET:   Musician!

LIGNIERE:   And of how
