1882, Machado de Assis, O Alienista:Aos quarenta anos casou com D. Evarista da Costa e Mascarenhas, senhora de vinte e cinco anos, viúva de um juiz de fora, e não bonita nem simpática. Um dos tios dele, caçador de pacas perante o Eterno, e não menos franco, admirou‑se de semelhante escolha e disse‑lho.- At the age of forty he married D. Evarista da Costa and Mascarenhas, a 25-year-old lady, widow of an outside judge, and not pretty or friendly. One of his uncles, a paca hunter before the Eternal, and no less frank, marveled at such a choice and said as much to her.
