Mas afinal, sentindo-se fatigada, foi recostar-se em um cômoro de relva, que elevando-se no sopé do rochedo formava uma espécie de divã natural. Descansou a cabeça no declive, e assim ficou com os pezinhos estendidos sobre a grama que os escondia como a lã de um rico tapete; e o seio mimoso a arfar com o anélito da respiração.

The setting

But at last, feeling tired, she went to lie back on a mound of turf that, rising at the foot of the crag, formed a kind of natural divan. She rested her head on the slope, and so she lay with her little feet stretched over the grass that hid them like the wool of a rich carpet; and her dainty bosom heaving with the panting of her breath.
