II,4,1495

Henry V. Call in the sheriff.
[Exeunt all except PRINCE HENRY and PETO]
[Enter Sheriff and the Carrier]
Now, master sheriff, what is your will with me?

Sheriff. First, pardon me, my lord. A hue and cry
Hath follow'd certain men unto this house.

II,4,1498

Henry V. What men?

Sheriff. One of them is well known, my gracious lord,
A gross fat man.

II,4,1508

Henry V. The man, I do assure you, is not here;
For I myself at this time have employ'd him.
And, sheriff, I will engage my word to thee
That I will, by to-morrow dinner-time,
Send him to answer thee, or any man,
For any thing he shall be charged withal:
And so let me entreat you leave the house.

Sheriff. I will, my lord. There are two gentlemen
Have in this robbery lost three hundred marks.

He shall be answerable; and so farewell.

Sheriff. Good night, my noble lord.

II,4,1514

Sheriff. Indeed, my lord, I think it be two o'clock.
