shepherdess

A little shepherdess is guiding them, as anxious to get them in as they are to enter, for this means the end of her day's work.

At forty years of age she still preserved almost all her freshness and could be called "the little Shepherdess of the Alps."

Look at Millet's "Shepherdess Spinning," at the head of this chapter, as an example of contre jour.

Harlequin had recruited a columbine and a shepherdess, and he introduced these ladies as partners for the promised minuet.

The shepherdess wants to be assured of something more substantial than mere affection before she yields to the temptation.
