He started with Abilene, and then went on to Nellie and Lawrence and from there to Bull and Lucy, and then he ended again with Abilene: Abilene, Nellie, Lawrence, Bull, Lucy, Abilene. See?

ROXANE: I have marred your life--I, I! CYRANO: You blessed my life! Never on me had rested woman's love.

But I have had your friendship--grace to you A woman's charm has passed across my path.
