_Second Aunt_: The Prince has no need to go
upon a horse, where he has always a coach at his
command.

_King_: It is fowling that suits you so?

_Prince_: I would be well pleased ...

_First Aunt_: There is great danger going out
fowling with a gun that might turn on you after
and take your life.

_Second Aunt_: Why would the Prince go into
danger, having servants that will go following
after birds?

_Queen_: He is likely waiting till his enemies will
make an attack upon the country to defend it.

_First Aunt_: There is a good dyke around about
the marshes, and a sort of quaking bog. It is not
likely war will come till such time as it will be made
by the birds of the air.

_King_: Well, we must strive to knock out some
sport or some pleasure.

_Prince_: It was not on pleasure I was sent.

_First Aunt_: That's so, but on business.
