It was the magistrate, her other lover, eager for her company. Panic struck the young man like lightning, but the cowherdess, with her cunning as her ally, whisked him away into a cupboard and welcomed the magistrate inside.

As the magistrate rejoiced in her enchantment, another knock thundered at the door. This time it was the cowherd husband, unexpected and untimely. The magistrate’s face turned ghostly pale at the thought of his reputation crumbling like a house of cards.

Without missing a beat, the cowherdess handed the magistrate a stout stick, serving him a guise of anger and a foolproof plan. The magistrate dashed out, brandishing the stick, as the cowherdess explained away his hasty departure to her unsuspecting husband, painting him the protector saving their humble abode from the wrath of an enraged father.

“Here is his young son,” she declared, opening the cupboard to reveal the magistrate’s son, unharmed and grateful. The cowherd, impressed by his wife’s quick thinking, lauded her actions. As for the young man, he left in peace, marveling at the herdess’s crafty resolution.
