It may not be a very polite name to call her, but Liesel doesn't seem to mind it terribly and so Demelza laughs softly, looking amused. And Judas knows she'd been called far more terrible names by her own father, the sorts of cruel insults she'd hardly even want to hurl at her worst enemy.
Well, perhaps George Warleggan would deserve such cruelty, but few other people.
"I've heard very little German," she admits, very interested in different languages, though she still sometimes struggles with her letters in English. The words of other languages sound strange and magical and romantic to her and she doesn't think she'll ever be able to learn them for herself, no matter how hard she might try. "Do 'ee speak it fluently? When I came to live with Ross, that's my husband, I didn't even know how to read or write my letters, but I learned with his help and it's gotten even better here, but I shall always be better at math. Numbers make sense to be sometimes when letters don't. I must doubt I could ever learn another language."
