The little girl appears as a sickly three-year-old, hidden beneath a seat in a garden when Pierre encounters her. She screams and tries to bite his hands, her distress making her difficult to approach. The text describes her as resembling her mother, but offers no further account of her life.

Description

She is a three-year-old girl, described as sickly and scrofulous-looking. Her small figure is dressed in pink, and her distressed face and open, screaming mouth give her a fierce, unsettled expression. Her hair, eyes, precise coloring, and other identifying features are not specified.
