Translation of "Caressed" in Portuguese

Our chairs, being his patents, embraced and caressed us rather than submitted to be sat upon, and there was that luxurious after-dinner atmosphere, when thought runs gracefully free of the trammels of precision.

As nossas cadeiras, sendo suas patentes, abraçavam e acariciavam-nos em vez de submeterem a sentar nelas e havia aquela atmosfera luxuriante de pós-jantar, quando o pensamento corre graciosamente livre dos impedimentos da precisão.
