The man was well dressed and was perhaps a gentleman. Stanza 3 The highwayman was going to visit Bess, the landlord's daughter. Stanza 4 The highwayman is going to rob someone, but Tim the ostler is listening. Both Tim and the highwayman love Bess. Stanza 5 Before the highwayman leaves he smells Bess' perfume and thinks about how much he loves her. Stanza 6 King George's men went to the inn. The highwayman did not go to the inn.

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.
