Uma larga esteira que descia da eminência até o lugar onde Cecília estivera recostada, mostrava a linha que descrevera a pedra na passagem, arrancando a relva e ferindo o chão. D. Antônio, ainda pálido e trêmulo do perigo que correra Cecília, volvia os olhos daquela terra que se lhe afigurava uma campa, para o selvagem que surgira, como um gênio benfazejo das florestas do Brasil.
A broad track running down from the height to the spot where Cecília had lain reclined showed the line the stone had traced in passing, tearing up the grass and gashing the ground. D. Antônio, still pale and trembling from the danger Cecília had run, turned his eyes from that earth, which seemed to him a grave, toward the savage who had appeared, like a benevolent genie of the forests of Brazil.
