Chains Chapter 10 Summary

Thursday, June 6, 1776

  • At bedtime, Isabel puts her plan into action Mission Impossible style (cue the music). She sneaks up the cellar stairs, prepared to tell anyone who sees her that she's going to the privy (a.k.a. outdoor bathroom), though in reality, she's going to bring news of Lockton's bribery to Curzon.
  • Like a seasoned spy, Isabel dodges the soldiers of occupied New York City, darting quietly through the streets until she reaches Bellingham's home. Curzon meets her outside and she begins to tell him about what she saw in the library (and in Madam's underwear chest); Curzon agrees to take the news to his master the next morning. 
  • Curzon applauds her for doing the right and joining their cause. But is this really about politics for Isabel? Or is she just trying to save her sister before it's too late?
