came to the child=little girl, adolescent Aullus Gellius is the author of the Attic Nights, I don't know for sure if the name of the book is correct in English. David: Aulus Gellius · Attic Nights is the correct English.
The meaning is correct, but the emphasis is a little different. May I suggest this alternative:
To the girl child Demosthenes stealthily came. But Lais asked for 10.000 dinars. The shamelessness of womankind and the magnitude of money frightened Demosthenes. So he left.
