Submitted by Ginger snaps

Demosthenes stealthily came to the child. But Lais asked for 10.000 dinars. Demosthenes feared the shamelessness of the woman and the proportions of the monetary amount. Then he left.
--Aulus Gellius
Remarks about the translation
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.

pĕtŭlantĭa, ae, f. : - 1 - disposition à attaquer, moeurs agressives, méchanceté. - 2 - pétulance, fougue, vivacité, emportement. - 3 - insolence, effronterie, audace. - 4 - étourderie, légèreté.
Pourquoi pas "a craint la méchanceté de la femme"?
(je vais rectifier)
