22 Free. An orphan. The cousin of Cyrano, of whom we were now speaking.

Who is yonder man?

Ha! ha! Count de Guiche. Enamoured of her. But wedded to the niece of Armand de Richelieu. Would fain marry Roxane to a certain sorry fellow, one Monsieur de Valvert, a viscount—and—accommodating! She will none of that bargain; but De Guiche is powerful, and can persecute the daughter of a plain untitled gentleman. More by token, I myself have exposed this cunning plan of his to the world, in a song which… Ho! he must rage at me! The end hit home…. Listen!

No. Good night.

Where go you?

To Monsieur de Valvert!
