Raquel and Luísa are long-time friends who, despite the distance between them, continue to correspond almost monthly. Between court gossip, updates on their daily lives, and youthful musings about marriage and love, Luísa suspects that Raquel is gradually falling in love with a certain Dr. Alberto, she, on the other hand, despises him. From the limited perspective of an epistolary plot, Machado de Assis brilliantly builds an atmosphere of doubt and dissimulation that hangs over the story until the very last line.

I:D. LUÍSA P..., IN JUIZ DE FORA
Court, October 5
Will you not tell me to whom you delivered the packages I requested? The name of the carrier is poorly written in your letter, and to this day there has been no sign of him, whoever he may be. Could it be Luís? I heard you were coming here to spend some time; I would very much like that. You would enjoy it now, despite the heat, which has been intense. Today, however, we are having an excellent day.
