• Louis the Dauphin is alone on stage.
• Louis says that the sun has just set, and the English are hightailing it off the battlefield. Looks like things are going okay for the French.
• A messenger runs in and is all, "OMG, Count Melun is totally dead! Plus, all your English allies have betrayed you, and a bunch of our ships just sank!"
• Louis takes the news pretty well, all things considered. He swears to get up early the next morning to see what the day will bring him.
