* [[Bed Trick]]: A double one: when Gynecia discovers Pyrocles is a man, she wants to sleep with him, and he arranges to meet her in a cave that night. As 'Cleophila', he's also being lusted after by her husband Basilius, so he says he'll meet him in the cave that night too, and gives Gynecia his garment so Basilius will think it's Cleophila. Gynecia and Basilius, the married couple, have sex in the cave, each thinking the other is Pyrocles/Cleophila. Which puts our hero into [[Magnificent Bastard]] territory. |

They haven't come to save Pamela, but it distracts Musidorus anyway. We never find out if he'd actually have done it. |
