The setting

'but in short, settle that girl's fate one way or another, if you do not wish to drive me from your house forever.'

A note on this passage

She returns to the demand, hardening it into an either/or: deal with 'essa rapariga' or lose your wife. Again Isaura is denied a name — 'that girl' — the rival flattened to a problem to be disposed of.
