“I see,” said Sharon, and had to think for a moment or two, “So the exigence in this case is the fact that I don’t normally live in a tall tower in a dark forest, that I am not normally the prisoner of an evil dwarf and that I DON’T NORMALLY SCREAM HELP ME HELP ME!! AT THE TOP OF MY VOICE HOPING TO BE RESCUED.”

The four horsemen nodded in agreement.

“That sounds reasonable to me,” said the man, who was the only one to have spoken so far, “but now you have to appeal to these three gentleman individually, before we will all rescue you and thus modify the exigence. I will introduce them to you one at a time, but first I will tell you who I am.”

“Right, well that sounds like progress to me,” said Sharon, “but can you please hurry, I fear that Shrubegeog will be back in a minute or two and will thwart your rescue.”

“My name is D Arthur Agnan,” said the man, “and I am a Musketeer of the King. My three friends are Rhetorical Musketeers of the King, please let me introduce them to you!”

“The first Rhetorical Musketeer is the charming man on your left,” said Arthur Agnan, “his name is Pathos. In order to be rescued by him, you must appeal to his emotions and feelings.”

Pathos waved cheerily to Sharon and bowed deeply. He indicated a handkerchief he was carrying and mimed the motion of wiping tears from his eyes.

“The second Rhetorical Musketeer is the authoritative figure in the middle, his name is Ethos and to appeal to him you have to indicate your credibility to be rescued.”
