Entretanto Cecília que não podia compreender como um homem passava assim no meio de tantos animais venenosos sem ser ofendido por eles, atribuía a salvação do índio a um milagre, e considerava a ação simples e natural que acabava de praticar como um heroísmo admirável. A sua alegria por ver Peri livre de perigo, e por ter nas suas mãos a prenda de Álvaro foi tal, que esqueceu tudo o que se tinha passado.

Her joy at seeing Peri free of danger, and at holding in her hands Álvaro's keepsake, was such that she forgot all that had happened.
