How kind these shepards are to strangers! For we were walking along the path, poor Celia about to faint, when we happened upon a kind man called Corin. He offered us food and shelter immediately and with no suspicion! It is a very nice change from court. Now we are going to purchase this land and house for him, I believe.
Touchstone has been very entertaining lately. I don’t think he wishes himself to be with us, however, for today he said, “Ay, now am I in Arden, the more fool I. When I was at home I was in a better place, but travelers must be content.” However, it must be so, though I am sorry to cause him discomfort. Dear Celia is closer than a sister, and she has stayed true by my side through this whole ordeal. I hate to think I am causing her pain. She must be missed by now, and Touchstone as well… I hope my uncle stays in his palace, for meeting him here cannot bode well for anyone involved.
I still cannot wait to find my father. It is what is driving me through this difficult journey… well, my father and perhaps the memory of my wrestler. But I must focus on the task ahead -- the forest is necessary, and I hope we all will become stronger because of it. Now I must stop, for we must continue on in our search. I think I will go ask the shepard Corin if he knows of my father’s whereabouts.
