So Rosalind set out to seek her father, the banished Duke, in the
Forest of Arden. Celia loved her too much to let her go alone, and as it
was rather a dangerous journey, Rosalind, being the taller, dressed up as
a young countryman, and her cousin as a country girl, and Rosalind said
that she would be called Ganymede, and Celia, Aliena. They were very

sitting on the grass, almost dying with fatigue, a countryman passed that
way, and Ganymede asked him if he could get them food. He did so,
and told them that a shepherd’s flocks and house were to be sold. They
bought these with the money they had brought with them, and settled
down as shepherd and shepherdess in the forest.
