All's Well That Ends Well — Act 5, Scene 1: Marseilles. A street.

Helena travels with the Widow and Diana, but their hurry has worn them out. She thanks them for helping her in her own business and then meets a Gentleman who has been at the French court. Thinking he can carry her message, Helena asks him to deliver a petition to the king and help her gain access to him. The Gentleman says the king is no longer there and has left for Rousillon. Helena is disappointed but quickly adapts, asking him to give the king her paper when he catches up with him. She promises gratitude and tells the others they must mount again and keep moving.
