Ans.
Adam was the loyal servant of Sir Rowland de Boys, father of gentle Orlando. Adam loved Orlando very much for his gentle behaviour and goodness. After Orlando' s victory in the wrestling match, Oliver, his wicked brother vowed to burn Orlando alive in his chamber while he slept. Adam overheard the plan. So he advised him to flee away from the place. He knew very well that Orlando had no money with him. So, he offered him his life's saving of five hundred gold crowns without any hesitation. He also accompanied him in his journey towards the forest of Arden so that he would take care of him and work for him. In this way Adam proved his loyalty towards his master.
