Duke senior is well aware of the fact that Sir Rowland de Boys is the father of Orlando because he heard Orlando whispering faithfully about this reality. Besides that, Duke also notices Orlando and Sir Rowland faces bear strong resemblance to each other.

Orlando gives remarks that he is famished and informs Duke by saying that, “I thought that all things had been savage here,/ And therefore put I on the countenance/ Of stern commandment.
