People are huddled indoors after the aborted revolution and the discovery of the gunpowder-filled house along Anloague Street, and are wondering who are behind the plot.
(The mindmap will help you easily remember the other details of this chapter…)
You find yourself in the home of the affluent Orenda family somewhere in Santa Cruz, along the road dotted by jewel shops. Among the characters are Chichoy (the thin silversmith), who seems to be able to get chismis data from various people, and who feeds these one at a time to an increasingly fearful crowd.
1. Why are those people hiding Isagani in their home? Isagani is suspected of having placed the gunpowder in the house of Capitan Tiago, because he probably wanted to exact revenge on Juanite Pelaez, his rival for the hand of Paulita Gomez.
2. How did people figure out it was Simoun all along? You know how gossip spreads. Lightning fast. So when quite a few people know that Don Timoteo and Simoun oversaw the preparations for the dinner in the house along Anloague Street, word spread quickly.
3. Prove that Isagani was the lamp thief. If you recall, Basilio was the only one who know about the purpose of the lamp, and that Isagani was the last person Basilio spoke with. Since Isagani was not aware of Simoun’s revolutionary plan, Isagani just focused on saving his beloved Paulita.
Take note also of what Isagani uttered in the Orenda residence about how the lamp thief might not have stolen the lamp had he only known its true purpose.
(And if you think what Isagani did was regretable, try this dose of misfortune.)
