Isabel abanou tristemente a cabeça.
Isabel sadly shook her head.
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.
No words — just the small, weary gesture of someone who knows she will not be believed, and has stopped expecting to be. Alencar lets the shaken head answer Cecília's comfort more truthfully than any reply could.
