Horseman:

She noticed that her captor was bound to a tree facing away from the table...Fernando noticed her glance..
"ahhh, my beautiful swan...do not worry about this man. I, Fernando, have seen to it that he will not trouble you again...
It was odd...she thought..she did not even recall where her gag had disappeared..or how she had gotten to this spot overlooking the ocean...
was she thinking of somebody...?
"Have some wine my beautiful princess..." Offered Fernando...and she sipped the wine as all thoughts of friends were forgotten...
