As for the last child from Tierra del Fuego, she was a beautiful little girl. Gentle and introverted by nature, although often somber, she learned things very quickly, especially languages. During our very brief stops in Rio de Janeiro and Montevideo, she managed to learn quite a few Spanish and Portuguese words. As for her English, it was impeccable; if you didn't look at her appearance, didn't consider sequence or grammar issues, just listened to her accent, you'd think she was a child born and raised in London.
