[Murmurs of assent from the Foresters.]

JOHN

Enough of this.
Though I be prince, I am vice-gerent too!
Fitzwalter, I would have some private talk
With you and Lady Marian. Bid your guests
Remove a little—

FITZWALTER

I'll lead them all within!
And let them make what cheer they may. Come, friends.

[He leads them up the stairs to the inner room.]

My lord, I shall return immediately!

[Exeunt Fitzwalter and the guests.]

JOHN

Marian!
