How does Flora react to Chris convulsions?

From the text:

The heirs watched helplessly as the invalid’s thin frame was suddenly torn and twisted by convulsions. Only the
dressmaker rushed to his side. “I know, I know,” she simpered, “you were trying to tell us about the itsy-bitsy snowflings.”
Theo moved her away. “My brother is not an infant, and he’s not retarded, so please, no more baby talk.”
Blinking away tears, Flora Baumbach returned to her seat, the elfin smile still painted on her pained face.
