'Yes, dear Isaura!' said the old man, pressing her against his heart.

A note on this passage

The embrace — the whole chapter's love made physical, father and daughter heart to heart. Guimarães lets the reunion crest here, at its warmest, so that the letter about to arrive will strike from the height of their joy.
