A menina admirou-as um momento com o sentimento de faceirice que é inato na mulher, e lhe serve de sétimo sentido; pensou que devia ir-lhe bem esse bracelete; levada por esta idéia cingiu-o ao braço, e mostrou a Peri que a contemplava satisfeito de si mesmo.

The setting

The girl admired them a moment with the feeling of coquetry that is inborn in woman, and serves her as a seventh sense; she thought that bracelet must suit her well; carried away by this idea she clasped it to her arm, and showed it to Peri, who watched her, pleased with himself.
