We are all still in the Forest, and though I admit I rather miss my house, it is all worth it for I can see Orlando! I am so worried for him now, for earlier today, something most alarming happened. His brother Oliver came by and informed us Orlando was wounded in saving him from a hungry lioness! He even produced the bloody handkerchief to prove his bravery. I forgot my role as Ganymede for a moment and fainted, which made Oliver slightly suspicious. I am not sure I completely convinced him it wasn’t real.
I met a Monsieur Jaques today as well, who I do not like at all. He is a melancholy fellow, and thinks a great deal of himself. He was trying to convince me that he has traveled all over Europe! What a liar. He is quite melancholy, and though he seems to think this makes him poetic and admirable, I think it makes him about as interesting and intelligent as a post.
I simply cannot wait to see my Orlando again. I will continue with my charade, but I don’t think it needs to be for much longer, for I can see he is a good man, honorable and brave. I only hope he recovers from his injuries! I will go inquire to Oliver as to their severity.
