They try to get Hilda off the road

"Hide!" The bossy woman commands.

Hilda hears the pitter patter of the other woman, mixed with the jingling of her purloined coin pouch, as she darts into the underbrush.

"Now move slowly, and don't even think about doing anything funny," the thief with the knife still pressed to Hilda's throat orders.

Hilda grunts in response as the thief nudges her to start moving.

It's a difficult process, what with the thief still keeping her at knife point, and the whole thing takes much longer as a result.

Hilda and her captor are almost into the tree line when a strong male voice calls out.

"Hello!" Yells the Baron, as he waves at Hilda.

He apparently doesn't see the thief clinging to her.

Hilda and her assailant both freeze.
