The setting

In fact, a few moments later Leôncio, accompanied by the overseer, was entering the spinners' hall.

A note on this passage

The dread of the last line is answered at once: 'poucos instantes depois,' a few moments later, the master himself is at the door. Leôncio comes 'acompanhado pelo feitor,' flanked by the overseer — power arriving with its enforcer. The whole chapter has been a rising scale of pursuers, and it now reaches the top.
