A delicate, hidden affection
Read the full text in our reader
A menina compreendeu imediatamente; a afeição pouco comum que tinham a Peri, a gratidão que lhe votavam, era uma espécie de segredo entre esses dois corações; era uma planta delicada que não queriam expor ao reparo que causaria aos outros amizade tão sincera por um selvagem.
The girl understood at once; the uncommon affection they had for Peri, the gratitude they vowed him, was a kind of secret between those two hearts; it was a delicate plant they did not want to expose to the notice that such sincere friendship for a savage would cause in others.
