Everything has worked out right, and I am completely happy! We all have married -- dear Celia with Oliver, who almost as soon as setting eyes on each other were in love; Silvius with Phoebe, who transferred her affections to the devoted man; and even Touchstone with a rather random peasant girl named Audrey. And of course, my wonderful Orlando and I are together at last.
It all fell into place so perfectly, even I was a bit surprised. I convinced them all I was under the tutelage of a magician and I could bring Rosalind here for Orlando. When I admitted I am her, they weren’t completely surprised, for I think they saw similarities between her and Ganymede.
Finally, a messenger appeared, saying Orlando has all his lands back! My uncle has decided to become a monk. This is unexpected, but not at all undeserved. We will move back with my husband, for he is now a duke. Oliver has lands too, so Celia and I will always be close. I am beginning to think the Forest of Arden is somewhat magical, for it took my plans and executed them perfectly. I am sure Touchstone and Jaques will be happy, and I bear them no ill will whatsoever. In fact, I do think we all just might live happily ever after.
