She could gaze at him unseen for hours

Podia assim fitar horas e horas o moço, sem que ele o percebesse, sem o incomodar talvez com a prece muda do olhar suplicante; podia rever-se em sua alma sem que um sorriso de desdém ou de zombaria a fizesse sofrer.

The setting

Thus she could gaze for hours and hours upon the young man, without his perceiving it, without perhaps troubling him with the mute prayer of her pleading eyes; she could lose herself in his soul without a smile of disdain or mockery making her suffer.
