The Highwayman, being a fugitive from law, can successfully evade capture by remaining in hiding or in the background. But he wants to see his loved one Bess, living in a public place which is an inn, daughter to the inn keeper. Therefore he has to make nightly rendezvous to meet with her. Bess wants to keep her lover coming to see her in the night safe and warned about the presence of King's men in the inn, ready to capture him when he comes. But being fettered hand and foot and a loaded musket thrust into her mouth, she cannot scream and warn her lover. This is the characteristic situation in this poem The Highway Man by Alfred Noyce.
