An existence of flowers

Read the full text in our reader

Estes sentimentos eram toda a sua vida; no meio deles sentia-se feliz; nada lhe faltava: também nada mais ambicionava. Enquanto pudesse beijar a mão de seu pai e de sua mãe, receber uma carícia de seu irmão e de sua prima, sorrir a seu cavalheiro e brincar com o seu escravo, a existência para ela seria de flores.

The setting

These feelings were all her life; in their midst she felt happy; nothing was lacking to her: nor did she covet anything more. So long as she could kiss her father's and her mother's hand, receive a caress from her brother and her cousin, smile at her cavalier and play with her slave, existence for her would be all flowers.
