Álvaro on guard

Álvaro tinha esse dom dos caçadores hábeis; apenas o vento lhe trouxe um estalido de folhas secas pisadas, levantou a cabeça, e circulou o campo com os olhos; depois por prudência encostou-se ao grosso tronco de uma árvore isolada, e cruzando os braços sobre a clavina, esperou.

The setting

Álvaro had that gift of skilled hunters; as soon as the wind brought him a crackle of dry leaves trodden underfoot, he raised his head and swept the field with his eyes; then, out of prudence, he leaned against the thick trunk of a lone tree, and crossing his arms over his carbine, he waited.
