What’s the war about?
King
The red Chess King has the whole army against us but he can’t kill a man who has thirteen hearts.
[The Duchess, Queen, Frog, and followers go out. The Knave and the Five-Spot, Seven-Spot, and Nine-Spot of Hearts stand behind the King.]
King: I only wish I had such eyes; to be able to see Nobody!
Just look along the road and tell me if you can see either of my messengers.
