Isagani appeared to be rather disgusted, for so many curious eyes fixed upon the beauty of his sweetheart annoyed him.

"What a girl, what a girl!" muttered the entranced Padre Camorra.

"And she has for a sweetheart a pupil of mine, the boy I had the quarrel with." "Just my luck that she's not of my town," he added, after turning his head several times to follow her with his looks.

He was even tempted to leave his companions to follow the girl, and Ben-Zayb had difficulty in dissuading him.
