Seated next to Rosa

Como já dissemos, coube em sorte a Isaura sentar-se perto de Rosa.
As we have already said, it fell to Isaura's lot to sit near Rosa.
The narrator picks up the thread he set down for his digression on the overseer. 'Coube em sorte' — it fell to her lot — frames the seating as blind chance, but chance in a novel is destiny: of all places, the one open wheel is beside her one enemy. The stage is set for the duel of words to come.
