SCENE III. A room in the Garter Inn.

    Enter Host and BARDOLPH

BARDOLPH

    Sir, the Germans desire to have three of your
    horses: the duke himself will be to-morrow at
    court, and they are going to meet him.

Host

    What duke should that be comes so secretly? I hear
    not of him in the court. Let me speak with the
    gentlemen: they speak English?

BARDOLPH

    Ay, sir; I'll call them to you.

Host

    They shall have my horses; but I'll make them pay;
    I'll sauce them: they have had my house a week at
    command; I have turned away my other guests: they
    must come off; I'll sauce them. Come.

    Exeunt
