Note 13 — Chapter XVI · “I CAME FROM MARTYRDOM UNTO THIS PEACE”
Reading edition
As day broke the crowds began to gather in the Luneta. Spaniards of the ruling caste predominated, come to see the death of their enemy and gloat over him; but also there were Filipinos with drawn brows and quivering lips, disquieting to look upon.13 In many Filipino houses that last night there had been no sleep. Men and women prayed all night for the man about to be slaughtered for their sake.
