The setting

Chapter V. The scene shifts from the jaguar hunt to the garden of the Paquequer house, where Cecília — 'the lovely girl' — is introduced.

A note on this passage

The chapter opens on a single, quiet clause — a change of light after the violence of the hunt, and the frame in which we will first see Cecília.
