Ingenia 4
A steward, whose primary responsibility is tending to his lord's expansive, exotic gardens, has a much younger, beautiful wife. His wife falls for her husband's scribe, who appears disinterested in women. When she sees a piece of the scribe's writing about the 'wiles of women', she laughs, telling him he doesn't know anything of women's tricks. As proof, she tells him that she can easily arrange it so that her husband leaves their chamber in the middle of the night, giving her enough time to meet a lover, and that when he returns he will be none the wiser. The scribe thinks this is impossible, and agrees to do as the woman says to test her claim.
That night, the wife suddenly wakes her husband from his sleep. She tells him that she has heard noises in the gardens outside, and that he must carefully check that no harm has come to the plants, and that no fruit has been stolen.
