From Portrait in Sepia, by Isabel Allende
NO INTENTION
"She had no intention of hiding her state; she exhibited it, indifferent to the disturbance she caused. In the street, people tried not to look at her, as if she had some deformity, or were naked. I had never seen anything like that, and when I asked what was the matter with the lady, my grandmother Paulina explained that the poor thing had swallowed a melon."
From Part Two, 1881 - 1896
