alvoroços de contentamento
Lembrou-me naturalmente, na cadeia, muitas vezes, meu tio, que ali deveria estar inscrito no livro das entradas no cárcere e no das saídas para o degredo. Folheei os livros os de 1800, e achei a notícia com pouca fadiga, e alvoroços de contentameto, como se em minha alçada estivesse adorner-lhe a memória como recompensa das suas trágicas e afrontosas dores em vida tão breve.
Does this just mean he was "overjoyed"?
Obrigada,
Barbara
