I hope she won’t come here!

Bess.And have you seen her?

Aga. I met her only half an hour ago

Upon the Leipzic road!

Bess.Is she much changed?

Aga. Changed! Why, at first I couldn’t trust my eyes.

You know how jauntily she bore herself—

How daintily she dressed? Well—that’s all changed!

Pale, wasted to a shadow—draggletailed—

Dressed in torn rags—bare-footed, and bare-headed!
