and let us leave off this talk that has no grace in it at all.

A note on this passage

The dismissal is mild but final. 'Não tem graça nenhuma' — it has no grace, no charm, no point — is the plain verdict of good sense on cruelty: it is not even interesting. Isaura closes the exchange not with a wound of her own but with a shrug, and bends back to the thread.
