"He's a rogue," observed the alferez to the curate. "He tried to run, but he was wounded in the thigh. These are the only two that we took alive." "What's your name?" the alferez asked Tarsilo. "Tarsilo Alasigan." "What did Don Crisostomo promise you for attacking the barracks?" "Don Crisostomo never had anything to do with us." "Don't deny it! That's why you tried to surprise us."
Aunt Isabel fell on her knees weeping and reciting the Kyrie eleyson; Capitan Tiago, pale and trembling, carried on his fork a chicken-liver which he offered tearfully to the Virgin of Antipolo; Linares with his mouth full of food was armed with a case-knife; Sinang and Maria Clara were in each other's arms; while the only one that remained motionless, as if petrified, was Crisostomo, whose paleness was indescribable.
"Certainly, certainly, by all means!" exclaimed Padre Salvi. Rejoicing over the prospect of learning a secret, Sinang led Crisostomo to one end of the sala.

Within three years of his death, namely in 1513, he could produce such a masterwork as the altar-piece in S. Giovanni Crisostomo.
He arrived, without noticing it, at the place where the school house was being constructed. The work was well along. Ñor Juan, with his yard stick and plumb-line, was going to and fro among the numerous workmen. On seeing the young man approach, he ran to meet him. "Don Crisostomo," said he, "you have arrived at last. We were all expecting you. Just see how the walls are rising.
But you must not deprive me of an opportunity to show that if Justice knows how to punish she also knows how to reward and that she is not always blind!" The italicized words were all spoken in a loud and significant tone. "Señor Don Juan Crisostomo Ibarra awaits the orders of your Excellency!" announced the aide in a loud voice. Maria Clara shuddered. "Ah!" exclaimed the Captain-General.
Permit me to avail myself of this practice. Gentlemen, my name is Juan Crisostomo Ibarra y Magsalin." The others gave their names in turn, of which the most were comparatively unknown. "My name is A a," said one of the young men, bowing stiffly. "Then, perhaps, I have the honor of addressing the poet whose works have kept up my enthusiasm for my country?
Father Dámaso showed a little nervousness in his smile when he saw Maria Clara seated on the right of Crisostomo.
