Round 9: Tossup 19

An author was inspired by the sight of hair that grew after one of these events to write a novel about Sierva Maria being trapped in a convent. In a novella, a young boy accompanies his grandfather and (-5[1])mother to a doctor’s isolated corner house after one of these events. In the opening of a novel, one of these events is suggested by birds pecking holes through the screen of a library. In that novel, the General uses Patricia Aragonés to fool his enemies into believing that one of these events occurred. Before experiencing one of these events after chasing a parrot, a character is alerted to one by the scent of bitter almonds. (10[1]-5[1])Pablo and (10[1])Pedro (10[1]-5[1])Vicario plan one of (10[1])these events after their sister Angela Vicario is pressured into making a false accusation.
