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!
