Scene VI. An open place in the neighbourhood of Swinstead Abbey.[644]

Enter the Bastard and Hubert, severally.

Hub. Who's there? speak, ho! speak quickly, or I shoot.

Bast. A friend. What art thou?

Hub. Of the part of England.

Bast. Whither dost thou go?[645][646]

Hub. What's that to thee? why may not I demand[646][647]
Of thine affairs, as well as thou of mine?[646][647]5

Bast. Hubert, I think?[646][647]

Hub. Thou hast a perfect thought:
I will upon all hazards well believe
Thou art my friend, that know'st my tongue so well.
Who art thou?

Bast. Who thou wilt: and if thou please,[648]
Thou mayst befriend me so much as to think10
I come one way of the Plantagenets.
