Chapter V
“He’s known all along you’re a Cavite, hasn’t he?” “We have kept off the subject of religion entirely. As you probably discovered, since the division of the world, there’s been little communication between East and West. I don’t think he knows much about the Cavites except that they’re undesirable.” “Poor creature,” said Butler, compassionately.
