Since she is leaving my roof, at least let me be able to see her every day." And Rafael would listen to all these things as in a dream.
Dona Perfecta addressed Maria as "thou," while the latter could never lay aside certain ceremonial forms. Maria Remedios always felt herself so insignificant in the presence of her uncle's friend that her natural humility had acquired through this feeling a strange tinge of sadness.
Let us be virtuous and upright; let us turn our eyes away from the ignoble pair, and think no more about either of them."
