old porter opens the gate and lets in Macduff and lennox]
Macduff: You got up late. Did you go to bed late too?
Porter: There was a big feast, sir, in honour of the King. Lots
Of good food, sir. Drink too.
Macduff: I can see you had plenty of that. Is your master up yet?
[Exit porter. Enter Macbeth, in his dressing gown]
Ah, here he is now.
Lennox: Good morning, noble sir.
Macbeth: Good morning to both of you.
Macduff: Is the King awake yet, worthy thane?
Macbeth: Not yet.
Macduff: The King told me to come and see him early.
I hope that I am not late.
Macbeth: I’ll take you to him. Follow me.
There is the door
Macduff: I’ll go inside and wake him.
[Exit Macduff]
Lennox: does the King plan to leave today?
Macbeth: He does. That’s what he said last night.
