Final Question and Answer for 'Hind's Feet on High Places"

1. When did Much-Afraid see the Shepherd again? Describe their meeting.
Much-Afraid woke up in the middle of the night, realizing that she had missed her meeting with the Chief Shepherd. She looked at a song that had been written by another shepherdess who had once been there, and that motivated her to race out of her home and search for the Chief Shepherd. She found him at last, at dawn, at the pool where he fed his sheep. As she went, she felt songs filling her, and finally she finds him. She begs him not to leave her behind, and the Shepherd, instead of being angry at her for not coming to him the night before, softly tells her that he knew she would come. He told her he had only passed her cottage to tell her to come at dawn, and he invites her to come to him. She says she will go with him anywhere and hand in hand, they go. (160,161)
