Read the full text in our reader

Nunca se lembrara que esta afeição pudesse passar daquilo que era, e produzir outras emoções que não fossem o rubor e o sorriso; o exclusivismo do amor, a ambição de tornar seu e unicamente seu o objeto da paixão, acabava de ser-lhe revelado por sua prima.

The setting
