[Exeunt John and his men.]

FRIAR TUCK

[As they go out.]

My Lord Fitzwalter!
I have confessed him! Shall I bid 'em shoot?
'Twill save a world of trouble.

FITZWALTER

No; or the King
Himself will come against me. Follow them out,
Drive them out of my gates, then raise the drawbridge
And let none cross. Oh, I foresaw, foretold!
Robin has wrecked us all!

[Exeunt the Foresters and Fitzwalter. Shadow-of-a-Leaf remains alone with Marian.]

MARIAN

[She flings herself down on a couch and buries her head in her arms.]

O Robin, Robin,
I cannot lose you now!
