He would sacrifice all for her joy

Se Cecília julgasse que isto devia ser assim, pouco lhe importava o mais; porém, se o que tinha visto lhe causasse uma sombra de tristeza, e empanasse um momento o brilho de seus olhos azuis, então era diferente. O índio sacrificaria tudo, antes do que consentir que um pesar anuviasse o rostinho faceiro de sua bela senhora.

The setting

If Cecília thought it should be so, the rest mattered little; but if what she had seen brought her a shade of sadness and dimmed her blue eyes, that was another matter — the Indian would sacrifice everything before letting a grief cloud his fair mistress's pretty face.
