“Companionably he handed her a small glass filled with rich, plum-red liquid.
Receiving it with some surprise, Daisy held it up to her nose for a cautious sniff.
"Madeira," she said with a smile. "Thank you. Although celebration is a bit premature since the baby still isn't here."
"This isn't for celebration. It's to help you relax."
"How did you know what my favorite wine was?" she asked.

Manuel Alves
“A madeira foi o aço original, o sustentáculo das estruturas da civilização durante milhares de anos, até ao fim dos tempos primitivos. Mesmo num tempo dominado por tecnologia omnipresente, em que também o aço já estava ultrapassado, a madeira continuava a possuir um poder que equilibrava tudo, o centro inabalável dos pontos cardeais que se tornaram invisíveis para a civilização moderna. Norte e Sul. Bem e Mal. A bússola moral.”
Manuel Alves, A Cativa
