There's no clock in the forest, Orlando says, and that is Arden: a green place outside time where a banished duke keeps court beneath the trees and everyone driven out of the world arrives to find it remade. Rosalind, exiled and travelling as the boy Ganymede, comes upon the man who loves her and cannot see her, then does the one thing love makes possible: she offers to cure him of Rosalind by playing Rosalind.
