Macbeth.-

Who is knocking at the gates ?cried the porter as he was getting out of bed.Knock, who is there ?Who is it at this time in the morning?




The knocking went on.



Just a minute !give me time ! Nobody thinks about the por old porter.


The knocking went on and on getting louder and louder.


It is allright I am coming.



The porter walked slowly out of the gatehouse and into the courtyard. He looked through the gates and saw two men standing outside. Who are you ? he said sleepily.



Macduff, a Thane of Scotland, said the other. Open the gates, men. Let us in at once.



The porter opened and gates slowly.



Come on, be quick man...shouted Macduff, why are you so slow ?Did you drink too much last night?



Perhaps a Little too much, admitied the porter, as he left the two men in...We did have a small celebration last night, in honour of the King.
