Caroline Sal was a shepherdess who watched her sheep mainly in the High Meadows of Stephen<\/p>\n
She suffered from an extreme shyness when matched with strangers<\/p>\n
But read vociferously to her attended flock<\/p>\n
Who she believed hung on her soft voice and vivid descriptions<\/p>\n
She was reading the letters of Madame de Sevigne to her daughter<\/p>\n
Her shyness however hid an extraordinary intelligence which she put to use<\/p>\n
By accurately mapping both the High Meadows and all the paths that led to the summit of Marguerite<\/p>\n
It was during this mapping that she was threatened by the Kings Messenger<\/p>\n
Who told her to remove all her clothes<\/p>\n
In an effort to buy some time she asked the monster if she might disrobe in her shelter<\/p>\n
And it was from this dilapidated building that she killed the man with her fathers crossbow<\/p>\n
After much effort she dragged his body into the long grasses where she left it to the vultures<\/p>\n
Later when she had recovered her strength she set his swift horse free<\/p>\n
An inquiry was soon ordered but nobody suspected the simple shepherdess and it was supposed that the messenger<\/p>\n
Had been set on my brigands who had hidden his body somewhere on the mountains<\/p>\n
Because of the perceived threat Caroline Sar was ordered to live with her family until the brigands were captured<\/p>\n
Her father moved his flock to the more fertile low meadows near the village and gave Caroline his musket for her protection<\/p>\n
