SHERIFF
Shoot, then, and make an end.
Make way there, clear the way!
[An opening is made in the crowd. Robin stands in the gap, Will Scarlet is not seen by the audience.]
CROWD
Ah-h-h, the old devil!
ROBIN
I'll shoot him one on either side, just graze him,
To show you how I love him; then the third
Slick in his heart.
[He shoots. A murmur goes up from the crowd. The crowd hides Will Scarlet during the shooting. But Robin remains in full view, in the opening.]
SHERIFF
[Angrily.]
