Sentir-se perto de Cecília vê-la e trocar alguma palavra a custo balbuciada; corarem ambos sem saberem por quê, e fugirem desejando encontrar-se; era toda a história desse afeto inocente, que se entregava descuidosamente ao futuro, librando-se nas asas da esperança.

The setting

Álvaro's love, in miniature: to be near Cecília, to trade a stammered word, to blush and flee — a heedless affection poised on the wings of hope.
