I am asking for your protection. I accept that doubt among you remained until I took off the ring. But my fear for my safety remains. I am not giving you the ring. I want to come in peace, and I am sorry that I cannot get your promise."It is then that Rodrigo comes into the clearing and speaks. She listens to him. She knows in her heart that there is no force acting on her, no obsession, but she understands that she will not persuade them."Give me a minute. I'll be right down."Miss Imogen leaps to another tree, and then to another, and then a third. Jumping up higher she finds a landmark she will remember, on a tree that she will recognize. And she hides the ring there. With it she takes the signet ring from her other finger, and places it in the same tree, high in the air. Certain that she will recognize the spot again, she returns to the clearing, and then drops down. "I am ready to go with you," she says. She unstrings he bow, replaces it over her shoulder, and holds out her empty hands to show she is no threat.</blockquote>
