Rosencrantz: (dramatically) It was urgent -- a matter of extreme urgency, a royal summons, his very words: official business and no questions asked -- lights in the stable-yard; saddle up and off headlong and hotfoot across the land, our guides outstripped in breakneck pursuit of our duty! Fearful lest we come too late. |
