bashful

It seems ridiculous that a fellow who could hold his head straight up before a storm of cannon shot, should be positively bashful.

The French women have none of that bashful modesty which characterises the women of England and America.

This was so unusual in the bashful Alfred that Miss Caldwell roused and slipped lightly to the ground.

But as he seemed stronger and more lively the next day, I concluded he was bashful and only ate when I wasn't looking.
