E o índio respeitava a Álvaro, não por sua causa, mas por Cecília a quem ele amava; qualquer desgraça que sucedesse ao cavalheiro tornaria a senhora triste; e isto bastava para que a pessoa do moço fosse sagrada, como tudo o que pertencia à menina, ou que era necessário ao seu descanso, ao seu sossego e felicidade.
And the Indian respected Álvaro, not for his own sake, but for Cecília whom he loved; any misfortune befalling the gentleman would make the lady sad; and this was enough for the young man's person to be sacred, like all that belonged to the girl, or that was needful to her rest, her quiet, and her happiness.
