Cortou o galho de uma árvore, que pela sua propriedade, os colonizadores chamaram candeia; tirou o fogo, e começou a descer com o facho aceso. Foi só nessa ocasião que Cecília embebida nos seus pensamentos, viu defronte de sua janela o índio a descer pela encosta.

The setting

He cut the branch of a tree that, for its property, the settlers named candeia; he struck fire, and began to descend with the lit torch. It was only then that Cecília, absorbed in her thoughts, saw before her window the Indian descending the slope.
