I will accept your qualification so that you may accept mine: you also are an exception, and as here we are not going to talk about exceptions, nor plead for ourselves, at least, I mean, I'm not, I beg of my professor to change the course of the conversation." In spite of his liberal principles, Padre Fernandez raised his head and stared in surprise at Isagani.
It was the vacation period and all the students were back in their towns, Isagani being the only one who had not cared to leave, but he had disappeared that morning and no one knew his whereabouts so Basilio had been informed when after leaving the prison he had gone to visit his friend and ask him for lodging. The young man did not know where to go, for he had no money, nothing but the revolver.
"Pardon me," interrupted Isagani, offended by the arguments the jurist was using with him, "but when by legal methods people ask a government for something, it is because they think it good and disposed to grant a blessing, and such action, instead of irritating it, should flatter it to the mother one appeals, never to the stepmother.
Who do you suppose put the sacks of powder there?" Many shrugged their shoulders, while Capitan Toringoy merely looked askance at Isagani. "The friars?" "Quiroga the Chinaman?" "Some student?" "Makaraig?" Capitan Toringoy coughed and glanced at Isagani, while Chichoy shook his head and smiled. "The jeweler Simoun." "Simoun!!" The profound silence of amazement followed these words.
Isagani took courage, believing that his case would get on well. He related briefly what had been done, the while studying the effect of his words.
"When I have gray hairs like those, sir," replied Isagani with equal sadness, "and turn my gaze back over my past and see that I have worked only for myself, without having done what I plainly could and should have done for the country that has given me everything, for the citizens that have helped me to live then, sir, every gray hair will be a thorn, and instead of rejoicing, they will shame me!"
Isagani appeared to be rather disgusted, for so many curious eyes fixed upon the beauty of his sweetheart annoyed him. The stares seemed to him robbery and the girl's smiles faithlessness. Juanito saw her and his hump increased when he spoke to her. Paulita replied negligently, while Doña Victorina called to him, for Juanito was her favorite, she preferring him to Isagani.
"Does he also visit Capitan Tiago?" "From the first day after his arrival, and I'm sure that a certain person looks upon him as a rival in the inheritance. I believe that he's going to see the General about the question of instruction in Castilian." At that moment Isagani was called away by a servant to his uncle.
He hesitated for a moment, then resolutely descended the stairs and made his way to the cliff where Isagani was accustomed to sit and gaze into the depths of the sea. Padre Florentino looked down at his feet.
The rogue had intentionally remarked to Paulita that, as there was so much more beautiful a woman close at hand, he did not care to strain his eyes looking beyond her. Paulita had blushed, covered her face with her fan, and glanced stealthily toward where Isagani, silent and morose, was abstractedly watching the show. Paulita felt nettled and jealous.
