no beggars! the hatch slams shut. robin pounds again.
her ladyship is not at home. she slams the hatch again. robin jams in his hand.
maybe she is. maybe she isn't. remove that hand. robin refuses. she waits imperiously behind the locked door. robin reluctantly withdraws his hand. instantly the hatch slams.
leave your weapons. the three start forward. her bony finger points at robin.
just you.
wait here. he waits. creaking footsteps on the balcony.
unless robin hood takes it first!
