"What most struck Hildebranda was her cousin’s solitude. She seemed, she told her, an old maid of twenty. Accustomed to large scattered families in houses where no one was certain how many people were living or eating at any given time, Hildebranda could not imagine a girl her age reduced to the cloister of private life. That was true: from he time she awoke at six in the morning until she turned out the light in the bedroom, Fermina Daza devoted herself to killing time."
