Guillaume
Ah, Pierre, it's been three months now, and still no child!
Pierre
It won't be long now!
Guillaume
I hope everything's all right with him
Pierre
Don't you worry yourself. Our Martin's a man now!
Arnaud
Come on, my friends! The land needs us to work together now! Dig! Dig!
(--the men begin to dig, except Guillaume--)
Pierre
Guillaume, dig!
Guillaume
Of course, Pierre! Whatever you say!
(--Guillaume joins the men in digging. The women work as well.
Bertrande and Arnaud are still unsure about each other--)
(--The villagers begin to leave the stage. Galoche the cobbler
brings a pair of boots for Arnaud.--)
Galoche
Your boots are only fit for musketeers
This pair I promise you will last for years
Arnaud
Galoche!
(--Lubin the tailor brings a new jacket for Arnaud--)
Lubin
Please have this jacket that I made for you
You've worked so hard all year your coat's worn through
Arnaud
You make me feel so welcome! Thank you.
Bertrande
(--she hands Arnaud a water bottle--)
You work too hard
Arnaud
I love it here... (--he looks to Galoche and Lubin--) The land is good!
