I have found my father. But I can scarcely think of him now that I have discovered who has been staying with him -- Orlando, my wrestler!
He covered the trees of the forest of Arden with poems for me, and though some of them were not very good, I know that he loves me! He thinks that I am a man, but I have a plan. I need to make truly sure he is a good man, so I am going to pretend to give him lessons on “forgetting” his love for me. I will act as myself, Rosalind, though he will believe it is Ganymede.
I wish he would come! He was so late for our meeting today that I happened upon two shepards while I was waiting. One of them is a truly dreadful woman by the name of Phoebe who has somehow captured the heart of the good man Silvius! I am afraid she has fallen in love with Ganymede. I’m not too worried about this though… I know it will all work out. Celia has given me very good advice.
I do wonder why Orlando has come into the forest. I will ask him next time I see him. But where is he?
