As You Like It Act 2, Scene 6 Summary
Adam, the old servant of the de Boys family, is in the forest with the young Orlando.
Adam is hungry and weak. He bids farewell to his master, as he must prepare his grave.
Orlando tells Adam to suck it up and promises if anything lives in this "desert," then Orlando will bring it for Adam to eat.
He asks that Adam hold off on dying until later since Orlando is going to all the trouble to rustle up some food for the old man.
