	Una Smith Number of messages: 429	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.

	charisgre Number of messages: 256	I agree with the emphasis, my English is guilty here. But I'm not sure about this> "shamelessness of womankind" - in the original is mulieris, woman.
