Ouvindo dos lábios de D. Antônio a pergunta, o selvagem não soube o que responder, porque lhe lembrava um pensamento que já tinha passado por seu espírito; temia que na sua ausência a menina corresse um perigo e ele não estivesse junto dela para salvá-la.

The setting

Hearing the question from D. Antônio's lips, the savage did not know what to answer, for it recalled to him a thought that had already crossed his mind; he feared that in his absence the girl might run into danger and he would not be beside her to save her.
