Let me be. Make room. My message is for the king.
Voices
Don’t be so churlish.—Let us hear one word at least.—Has he fled?—Tell us the news.—Let the man alone.—His business is with the king.—Just a word.
The Messenger
[Breaking loose] Let me be, let me be. You will learn soon enough. My message is urgent, and for the king. [Exit messenger.]
Voices
What did he say? The message was urgent.—What did he say?
A Voice
He said we should soon hear, but that he must go to the king at once.
