Read the full text in our reader

Era Capitu, que nos espreitara desde algum tempo, por dentro da veneziana, e agora abrira inteiramente a janela, e aparecera. Viu as nossas despedidas tão rasgadas e afetuosas, e quis saber quem era que me merecia tanto.

It was Capitu, who had spied on us for some time from inside the Venetian blind, and now had opened the window completely and had appeared. She saw our farewells so effusive and affectionate, and wanted to know who it was that deserved me so much.
