The setting

'Mr. Henrique!' cried Leôncio, advancing on him, rigid with rage and with a threatening gesture.

A note on this passage

Words give way to the body: Leôncio, 'hirto de colera,' stiff with fury, moves on Henrique with a raised hand. The brothers-in-law who nearly came to blows in Chapter III are at the edge of violence again — and this time Malvina stands between them.
