Withdraw
you hence, my lord; I’ll follow you.
Buckingham
King Richard the Third Act III, Scene iv, Line 42
Buckingham is addressing Richard. They’ll go off in private for a few minutes, and then they’ll come back, and Richard will declare Hastings a traitor. His crime? He expressed a desire for Edward’s son to be crowned the next king. Never mind the fact that Edward’s son is the rightful next king, that doesn’t fit with Richard’s plan. And so, off with his head. So much for poor Hastings. And that’s a dreary bit of theater, particularly for poor Hastings.
This morning’s weather is fittingly dreary. It’s a
light fog out there that will hopefully be burning off in the next few hours. I
have chosen this morning for my inaugural e-bike ride to work. Yes, this
morning the Aventon (and more to the point, the Pete) will be put to the test. Hopefully we make out better than Hastings.
Wish us luck!

When they leave for a few minutes to talk, is there just silence and nothing on the stage in that time...?
Good luck!
Ahh, you gotta read/see the play!
No, there are other people in the scene, so that whilst these two withdraw the others on stage keep the action/dialogue going.
Ah, that seems like it makes more sense.
