He continued to send for me punctually the moment the clock struck seven; though when I appeared before him now, he had no such honeyed terms as "love" and "darling" on his lips: the best words at my service were "provoking puppet," "malicious elf," "sprite," "changeling," &c.
Cada tarde, a las siete en punto, enviaba a por mí y, cuando yo me presentaba, las dulces frases de «amor mío», «querida» y otras análogas estaban ausentes de sus labios. Las mejores que me dedicaba eran «muñeca deslenguada», «espíritu maligno», «bruja», «veleta», etc.
