A trumpet plays.

EXETER
Dispatch us with all speed, lest that our king
Come here himself to question our delay,
For he is footed in this land already.
EXETER
Don’t take too long, unless you want our king to come after me to ask what’s holding things up, because he’s already landed here.



KING OF FRANCE
You shall be soon dispatched with fair conditions.
A night is but small breath and little pause
To answer matters of this consequence.
KING OF FRANCE
You’ll have your answer soon. A night isn’t much time for addressing matters of this importance.
Flourish
A trumpet sounds.
Exeunt
They all exit.
