Cyrano De Bergarac
.... with another member of the audience. Every moment of Cyrano's life is filled with action like this. When he was informed that one hundred men were going to kill his friend, Ligniére, he was thrilled with the idea of fighting all these men at once, and, of course, he succeeded.

All child birth's were natural and if anything went wrong often the mother and baby would die to .....
