After the Mother of Tears, Our Lady of Seven Dolours, it was Our Lady of Smiles, of the Immaculate Conception, the Sovereign Lady of Joy in Glory, who appeared; and here again it was to a shepherdess that she revealed the existence of a spring that healed diseases. "And here it is that consternation begins.
And so in course of time, the devil, who never sleeps and puts everything in confusion, contrived that the love the shepherd bore the shepherdess turned into hatred and ill-will, and the reason, according to evil tongues, was some little jealousy she caused him that crossed the line and trespassed on forbidden ground; and so much did the shepherd hate her from that time forward that, in order to escape from her, he determined to quit the country and go where he should never set eyes on her again.
Sauntering slowly along in the middle of the road, and fanning himself with his handkerchief after the oppressive exertions of the day, he passed a young girl who was standing at the street door of one of the houses, apparently waiting for somebody to join her before she entered the building. If she would only be shepherdess number thirty, I should go home to supper with my mind at ease.
'Small, we call it, though to be sure 'tis only the first wash o' the combs. 'No, said the stranger disdainfully. 'I won't spoil your first kindness by partaking o' your second. 'Certainly not, broke in Fennel. 'We don't increase and multiply every day, and I'll fill the mug again. He went away to the dark place under the stairs where the barrel stood.

It really looks like it.
My father alone knows of this plot, and because of his love for me he suffers me to try it, desperate as it seems. Also, for I will tell you all the truth, he is himself in danger, and he believes that by means of the Shepherdess who, when she reappears having survived the sacrifice, will be held by the people to be immortal he may save his life when the day of his own trial comes."
Remember that, if the worst comes to the worst, I have the means to protect myself. You are not afraid to come, are you, Otter?" "No, Shepherdess," said the dwarf. "Here all roads are alike."
