Part 89 (2/2)

Take this disguise I've bribed the sentinels

We'll leave Beaugency without being seen

Go down that street, at the wall's end, out there!

The Cardinal will come to see them execute His orders; we can't lose an instant now

The cannon will be fired when he arrives, And we'll be lost if we should still be here

DIDIER

'Tis well!

MARION

Quick! hurry! Didier, you are saved!

To be free! Didier, how I love you--God!

DIDIER

You say a street where the wall ends?

MARION

I do

I saw it I've been there It is quite safe

I saw them close up the last , too

It may be we shall meet some women, but They'll think you're just a passer-by Cos-- We'll laugh to see you thus disguised Come, dear!

DIDIER (_pushi+ng the clothes aside with his foot_)

There is no hurry

MARION

Death waits at the door

Fly! Didier! Since I've come!

DIDIER

Why did you come?

MARION

To save you! What a question to ask me!

Why such a freezing tone?

DIDIER (_with a sad smile_)

Ah, well! We men Are often senseless
