In the last novels of Camilo Castelo Branco, the treatment of the characters' reported speech is similar to the model followed by Eça de Queirós. Although in the parodic novels there seems to be a parody to the way Eça de Queirós handles this issue, an alteration is gradually undertaken, so that the treatment of reported speech becomes a genuine effort, the assumed and non-parodic way of conveying the characters' words and inner thoughts. The confrontation between the beginning of the first version of A Brasileira de Prazins, published in the magazine A Arte (1879), and the book (1882) leads to the conclusion that Camilo's writing has progressively absorbed several realistic stylistic features.
