This amusing little scene mirrors the pattern of the king’s interactions with the Herald and the Dauphin as Derrick brings about his own reversal of fortunes for an initially proud Frenchman. It is uncharacteristically full of explicit stage directions that clearly define the comic business intended for the scene. The action is all classic clown material, full of tricks, double-takes, and sudden emotional reversals. This scene is an indicator of the kind of clowning work expected from the Queen’s Men company and gives much justification for the more interpretive and creative work the SQM company did with sections of the plays in which the directions were less explicit.
