The setting

On my return, and at more leisure, we shall deal with Isaura.

A note on this passage

The postponement made explicit: 'na volta... trataremos de Isaura,' on my return we'll see to Isaura. 'Com mais vagar,' with more leisure — the phrase of every man who means never to get to a thing. And the verb 'trataremos de,' we'll deal with, treats her freedom as an item of business to be handled whenever convenient. A human life filed under 'later.'
