Read the full text in our reader
Cecília, sentindo um estremecimento, abriu os olhos e fitou-os em sua prima.
Cecília, feeling a shiver, opened her eyes and fixed them on her cousin.
Chapter V. The daydream ends; Cecília's cousin Isabel comes into the garden — a Brazilian beauty set as her opposite.
