votaress

Never would she have set foot on the Votaress had she dreamed she was to be "dumped off" on such a spot.

The mother-superior took the votaress at her word, and left her then and there.

Now the Votaress tolled a single stroke, as if to cry: "Hail, friend, we take the starboard."

Thaisa, thinking Pericles dead, becomes a votaress at Diana's temple.
