The setting

Mistress Malvina went away in her brother's company to her father's house.

A note on this passage

Isaura gives the plain fact behind her demotion: her mistress Malvina left with her brother Henrique for her father's house — the events of the earlier chapters. There is no disgrace in it, only the collapse of the household that had sheltered her. The truth is duller and sadder than Rosa's insinuation.
