— Isabel!... exclamou ela ressentida.
"Isabel!..." she exclaimed, hurt.
Chapter V. The talk darkens: Isabel, of mixed birth, turns Cecília's tenderness for the 'tame Indian' into a wound about how she herself is seen.
A single name, and the hurt is on Cecília's side now — pained that her cousin would speak so, and perhaps ashamed on her mother's behalf. Alencar keeps the exchange raw and quick, two girls wounding each other in the space of a breath.
