The plot unwinds with a great deal of adventurous doingssword fights, narrow escapes, blackmail, and highwaymenuntil Robin must reveal his true identity and woo Letitia in earnest. But when she finds out the truth, will she accept an adventurer for a husband? Or will his masquerade be Robin's undoing?
