All but Rosa

por que de todas era querida, menos de Rosa, que lhe tinha inveja e aversão mortal.
for she was loved by all, except by Rosa, who bore her envy and a deadly aversion.
Rosa is named as the single hater, and the phrase 'aversão mortal' — deadly aversion — is not idle: this envy will drive real cruelty through the rest of the chapter. Guimarães names the emotion precisely so the coming spite has a root the reader already understands.
