Under attack, Rosia's three consorts hold off assailants after a captured person cries, "Don't hurt Her Ladyship!" Rosia panics and decides to run for help rather than return. The consorts insist they'll stay—one notes a fourth consort is missing—and refuse to let go, accepting death if Rosia lives. Rosia moves to fetch aid while others try to stall the attackers and round up the missing consort. As pleas of "Save me, Your Ladyship!" echo, Rosia bolts toward help, leaving her protectors to buy time and the outcome uncertain.
