"I have children, too" "What was his business?" "A university professor" "A professor, eh" "Not a sake brewer's son?"

"My wife's niece" "Oh, yes, I've heard about the Kohayagawa family" "I work at my friend's art gallery" "I see, that's fine" "This is my business card" "I operate a small steel mill" "I'm deeply obliged to him" "Is that so" "You have a nice job" "Yes, it is, but..." "Have you any paintings of an ox?" "Pardon?" "You know, an ox" "I collect things concerning the ox" "This is also an ox" "I'd like to have a painting of an ox" "A Japanese style painting, or..." "Well?" "Shall I leave it to her?" "Why not" "I'll leave it to you" "I'll look for one" "Noriko maybe visiting me today" "I'll telephone" " Where's the telephone?" " That way" " Well?" " OK, she's OK" "That's fine" "A big OK" "You truly knew my taste." "She's the right age, too" "Arrange everything, will you" "Let's dine out later."

"A big OK" "That's wonderful" "Let's toast to this occasion" "A toast" "I am home" " Hi" " Hi" "I'm sorry to keep you waiting" "I hurried home." "I turned down an invitation" "Isn't this wrong?" "Think again" "Isn't it like this?" "Then this is wrong" "Think hard" "What is it?" "What did you want to discuss with me?" "They want me to have a marriage interview" "Again?" "How popular" "It isn't like the last time" "This time it's serious." "Even Sister urges me" "Oh?" "Who is he?" "A man whose father is the president of a bank but he works for a beer company" "It sounds good" "Don't treat it so lightly." "I'm perplexed" "About what?" "I haven't even considered marriage yet" "Perhaps not, but you can't evade it" "Why not just meet the man?" "But..." "You can reject him" "Neither Father nor Fumiko will force you to marry him" "I wonder" "Of course" "Business seems to be poor nowadays" "Father wants me to marry the man" "Is that so?" "Oh, I must be leaving" "Is it that late?" "It is" "You can make it if you hurry" "I'll come again" " Advise me again, Sister" " Come anytime" "Oh, I bought some cakes" "I'll have some next time" " Goodbye, Minoru" " Goodbye" "You'd better hurry" "I will." "Goodbye" "Take care" "Goodbye" "Okaden is finally merging with Katsura Masamune Co" "Is that so?" "I've heard rumors, but who told you?" "Do you know Kaneko who works there?"

" Not yet" " Right" "Hello" "Yes, it's me" "What is it?" "My uncle's here from Osaka" "Can you come home?" "We'll be waiting" "He'll return immediately" "I see" "How does the other party feel?" "He saw her a few days ago and is enthusiastic" "Is that so." "How about Akiko?" "I haven't told her about it yet" "You mean she had an interview without knowing it?" "That's right" "How reckless" "You think Akiko might get to like him?" "I think he's OK" "What do you think?" "Well, I hope Sister likes him" "The only thing is that he isn't a scholar like her late husband" "He runs a steel mill" "That may not bother my sister" "Yes, it's up to her" "He's back" "Welcome" "How are you?" "Hello, it's been a long time" "Yanosuke proposes matrimony for Akiko" "Is that so?" "I personally think it's a good match" "I see" "It would be ideal if both Noriko and Akiko were engaged" "Yes" "Find out how she feels about marriage" "Why don't you?" "I'll persuade her, too but please, talk to her" "Where are you going?" "I just remembered..." "Going out?" "I'll leave, too" "No, you make yourself comfortable" "Father is kept busy" "I don't know, he goes out a lot lately" "Yes, but it's good to see him healthy" "Has Noriko's interview day been fixed?" "Yes, at the New Osaka Hotel" "I see, that's fine." "It's well suited" "It's another hot day" "Yes." "Yes." "Where?" "From six?" "I'll go" "Yes, I'll ask her" "Are you free tonight?" "Yes, why?" "Teramoto-san is to leave in a few days" "For Sapporo?" "Yes, so we're holding a party tonight" "I see." "So he finally decided" "Yes" "Is that so?" "So he's going..." " Best wishes" " Cheers" " Good luck" " To your health" "Thank you" " I admire your decision" " You'll get a pay rise?" "A little" "A lecturer's pay is shockingly low" "Won't you be an assistant professor?" "It's small just the same" "I wish you would all come up to ski" "I'd like to, but the train fare is high" "We'll cherish your memory on Mountain Ibuki" "Thus, how grows the mugwot of Ibuki..." "Truly I feel this burning passion" "It's too late to flirt with him now" "That was fun" "After being with them I hate to leave" "Will you be gone for long?" "I'm told four or five years, but who knows?" "Please visit me if you can" "Yes" "Be sure to" "Yes" "It was fun tonight." "I enjoyed it" "I'll write to you." "Please answer my letter" "Yes" "Promise now" "I enjoyed tonight." "I hate to leave now" "Add the following..." "What do they add up to?" "33,455 yen" "And you?" " The same" " How much?" "33,455 yen" "33,455 yen" "That's too bad" "It can't be helped" "Small enterprises can't compete" " Is that so?" " Let me see" " The last one?" " No, the one before" "This is it" "Hello." "Hot, isn't it?" "Where's Hisao?" "He went out a while ago" " Where to?" " Masamune Winery" "I see." "I'll step out, too" "Goodbye" "The Old Master goes out often" "Yes, I wonder where he goes?" "Hey..." " Yes?" " A little word" "It's strange how he goes out so often lately" "His family is worried" "Will you go and..." " To see them?" " No, follow him" "From now?" "Yes, trail him and see where he goes" "Hey, Roku-san!" "Oh, Old Master" "Where are you going?" "Come..." "Sit down" "Sit down" "Thank you." "Excuse me" "What will you have?" "Anything is fine" "How about iced dumplings?" "That's fine" "Another Shiratama, please" "What a strange place to meet" "Yes, I'm bill collecting" "Thanks for working hard" "My, it's warm today" "Yes, the heat of late summer is severe this year" "Where are you going, sir?" "Where are you collecting?" "Around here" " Say..." " Yes?" "Have you got a cigarette?" " Yes, sir" " Give me one" "Please" "Peace brand, eh" "How extravagant" "I'm sorry" " Look..." " Yes?" "I'm aware of it" "What?" "Never mind" " Tell me" " Yes?" "The Young Master orders you?" "No, absolutely not" "I see" "Who asked you to make the collections, then?" "Oh, bill collecting?" "I do it on my own" "I see." "That's commendable" "Isn't it ready yet?" "This man is busy." "He must go bill collecting." "Hurry" "Right away, sir" "You're a hard worker" "Hello." "Hello?" "Well, hello" "You walked in this heat" "Please come in" "Thank you, may I?" "Please come in" "It's so hot every day" "Yes, isn't it" "Is your brewery busy?" "It's the slowest time of the year" "Without new rice, there's no work" "I had an amusing experience" "Oh, what?" "Our clerk followed me" "Why did he do that?" "I've been coming here often" "My family members are worried" "How absurd" "I called this clerk who trailed me into a tea room" "I asked him for a cigarette" "He got excited and paid for the ice dumplings." "The fool" "Is that so?" "You were lucky" "Want sugar in your barley tea?" "Never mind, thanks" "It's strange, fate" "What is?" "We wouldn't have met that day if I had taken the first tram" "That's right." "We were fated to meet" "Yes, fate is strange." "We hadn't seen each other in 19 years" "And to meet at such a place" "We've both changed" "We met after the bicycle race" "Life changes like running water" "Our world has really changed" "It's disgusting" "I miss the old days" "Remember that tea shop?" "You mean Hanayashiki." "We went there often" "You took us on long excursions." "It was such fun" "Yes, those viewings of snow scenery and that firefly chase" "Do you remember that moonlit night?" "Of course." "You changed me from a girl into a woman" "It was a long time ago" "Yes" "Yuriko is 21 already" "How time flies." "Let's go to Uji one of these days" "Yes, let's do that." "Take me there" " Shall I prepare sake?" " Thank you" "Hello" "Hello" "Your father's here" "Really?" "Hello" "Hello." "When did you come?" "Sit down" "I must leave right away." "Please stay longer" "You're going out again?" "Yeah." "Goodbye." "Bye-bye" "Goodbye" "When will you buy me a mink stole?" "You mean this?" "It's too warm yet" "Yes, but I must ask you now" "I understand" "Such a restless girl" "Oh, hello." "It's nice to see you" "Hello" "Yuriko, George is waiting for you" "Hurry" "I'll be going, Mother" "Come home early" "Who is he?" "An American with a company in Kobe" "She has such friends?" "Yes, she's a typist" "She receives exotic presents sometimes" "Oh?" "Is it safe for her?" "Girls nowadays are different" "They can take care of themselves" "Try some of this black stuff" "What is it?" "Yuriko received it" "She says they're shark eggs" "Shark eggs, eh?" "The eggs are small for a shark" "Yes." "Take it home if you like" "We have another can" "I see" "It's delicious" " Have a drink" " Thank you" "What did you do?" "I was shrewd." "I managed to trail the Old Master" "Where did he go?" "It was an inn called Sasaki" " Sasaki?" " You know the place?" "Go on, what was the woman like?" "Slender and about 44 or 45" "No, she must be about 47 or 48" " You know her?" " Never mind" "I thought they had cut their ties during the war" "Tell me more" "Do they have a daughter between them?" "Daughter?" " Around 21?" " No" "She called Old Master father" "No, only he believes it." "What happened next?" "30 minutes later, I heard the strumming of a lute" "He was singing a Nagauta" "No, no" "That was a Hauta" "Like this?" "That's it" "I know" "He sings only that" " What is she?" "A Geisha?" " No, no" " From Minami?" " No, no." "She's his old flame" "Old flame?" "The Old Master led a fast life" "He troubled his folks over her" "Is that so?" "Things will be complicated again." "What a headache" "Here are your clothes" "Thank you" "Hello" "What do you want?" "Yamayoshi's postcard" "Here it is" "Father is at it again." "She lives in Kyoto, I hear" "Where in Kyoto?" "Her name is Sasaki" " Sasaki?" " Sasaki Tsune" "Oh..." "Then it's that woman Father kept in Osaka long ago" "Yes, I think so" "I was just a child then" "She often brought Father home at night" "Mother wept frequently" "Yes, she must be Father's old flame" "It's deplorable, the way he acts at his age" "He's ignoring our winery business" "I would rather have him interested in bicycle racing" "We have one worry after another" "You must not rebuke him too severely" "Why not?" "Not now." "Wait for a better opportunity" "No, I'll tell him!" "No." "After all, he's an old man" "Then he should act like one" "It's just his character" "Character?" "You mean he can do as he pleases then?" "Of course not but you can't change his character now" "I'll change it for him" "Don't try." "Suppose he rebels?" "Such a good bath" "I thought about it while I was taking my bath about Mother's memorial service" "Let's make a brief visit to her grave and lunch at Arashiyama" "Yes, that would be good" "Mother liked Arashiyama." "Well?" "You mean in Kyoto?" "Naturally" "She liked it, but you like Kyoto, too, don't you?" "What?" "Does something attractive there make you go often?" "What?" " Wait..." " Be quiet!" " But then..." " Be quiet!" "Do you intend to repeat your sinful past behavior?" "What are you talking about?" "We know everything" "Know what?" "What's wrong with holding a service in Arashiyama?" "Which Arashiyama..." "Look at me!" "You two suspect me, don't you?" "No, nothing of the sort" "What's the idea having Rokutaro follow me?" "Are you doing something shady?" "What!" "I go to Kyoto to consult an old friend about our business" "The idea!" "Who is this old friend?" "Is the name Sasaki?" "No!" "It's Yamada." "You should know him!" "I don't know him" "That's too bad" "I've been asking his help" "I can't leave it up to you people" " Well, then..." " Forget it" "I will not." "Be quiet!" " Father!" " What?" "Are you really worried about the business?" " Of course!" " Then why not go again today?" " What?" " Hurry, get ready" "Not today" "I just saw him yesterday" "No!" "Quicker the better" "Please go to see him again today" "Not today" "I've taken a bath" "I'll prepare it again" "Please, Father" "Please go and seek his help" "Do you suspect me to that extent?" "I'll go, then!" "If you suspect me so have Roku follow me!" "How insulting!" "You mistrust your own father!" "I'm going!" "Have someone follow me" "Find out where I go!" "I'm going." "Follow me" "See where I go!" "You fools!" "Will he be all right?" "Don't worry." "He has no money" "He'll walk around and return" "I see" "Then, it's all right" "It'll be good exercise" "You're in the way" "Mother, is he really my father?" "Why?" "Didn't I have another father when I was a little girl?" "I recall I used to call him Father, too" "Did you?" "Perhaps you did" "Who's my real father?" "What difference does it make?" "It's up to you" "Don't you know either?" "It isn't that it matters" "It's a fact I was born" "I'm this big already" "That's right." "Think of it that way" " Hey..." " What?" "Is my present father rich?" "I imagine so." "He owns a brewery" "I see." "He hasn't bought that mink stole yet" "Ask him again" "It's the way you ask" "I see" "I'll consider him as my father when he buys that stole" "Yes, do that" "I'm here." "Here I am again" "Well, hello" " Hello, Father" " Hi" " Scrubbing the floor?" " Yes" "You're home today!" " Let me do it" " You needn't" "Don't worry, I'm one of the family" "You must take off your tabi" "Yes, you're quite observant" "I forgot my wallet and was embarrassed" "The tobacco shop lent me 1,000 yen" "Care for some iced dumplings?" "I don't care about dumplings" "Buy that mink stole for me" "Yes, I'll buy it" "You're good at cleaning" "Hello." "Good afternoon" "Hello" "I'm sorry about the other night" "No, no problem" "Have you found a painting of an ox?" "I'm still looking for one" "Isn't he an amusing man?" "Yes" "He's quite amusing" "Has Fumiko talked to you about him?" "Yes..." "I see." "How do you feel?" "It's so sudden" "I would like to think it over" "Naturally." "Please think about it carefully" "Your father's worried about you" "I'm sorry." "I worry everyone" "Not at all" "How about seeing him again somewhere?" "He would like to see you." "Well?" "He was really disappointed you left us that night" "I heard your mother's memorial service will be held at Arashiyama" "So it seems" "Will you go?" "Arashiyama should be beautiful at this time" "ARASHIYAMA" "Hand me that" " How about some?" " No thanks" "You don't drink much" "Beer fills me up quickly" "Moss grows unusually fast, doesn't it, Brother" "Moss?" "The gravestone was covered with moss" "Yes, so it was" "Moss grows faster than they describe" "Yes, time flies" "It's been six years since Akiko became a widow" "Where's Akiko?" "She left with Noriko" "I see" "The other party is keen about Akiko" "He has two children, a girl and a boy" "He welcomes Akiko's child" "That's fine." "How does it sound?" "I think it's a good match but it all depends on how she feels" "Yes, but she can't wait forever" "Akiko has a long time to live yet" "She can't go on living by herself." "It's pitiful" "Yes, but..." "How does Noriko feel?" "She's already had her interview" "Have you asked her, Fumiko?" "Yes, I asked her, but..." "What did she say?" "She's quite confused" "She isn't definite" "I see" "She should decide right away" "I think it's a fine match" "So do I, but she says we mustn't rush things" "It should be rushed, don't you think?" "Quicker the better, eh Brother?" "Well, that would be ideal" "Too many of us are captains of the boat" "We must consider her feelings" "Don't you have other business in Kyoto, Father?" "What?" " Want another?" " Thank you" "Akiko and Noriko are down there" "Is that right." "And what did he do?" "He ate everything that was offered and later loosened his belt" "Such a big eater" "He must have been famished" "Perhaps but when we took a stroll after the hotel dinner..." "You two were left alone?" "Yes, they urged us to take a walk" "And what happened?" "He asked me whether I disliked western food" "His answer to the same question was that he disliked it after all he ate" "Such a funny man" "He sounds amusing." "Then what?" "When we reached a deserted spot, he squeezed my hand" "What did you do?" " I squeezed his back" " And then?" "He said my hand was cold and wouldn't let go" "He tried to release his hand when people were near" "So, I purposely held his hand" "And then?" "You make me do all the talking" "How about yourself?" "What?" "Uncle's proposal" "Oh, that." "An old woman like me... 100 yen, please" "What?" "You promised to pay 100 yen each time you said old woman" "Oh, yes" " Here's 100 yen" " Thanks" "Be careful, Masao" "Minoru!" "You must look after him" "How do you feel about the proposal?" "Oh, me..." "I haven't said it yet" "I was a little hasty" "What nice weather" "What an enjoyable day" "Going out together like that is nice" " Let's go more often" " Yes, you're right" "We've had lovely weather" "It was really wonderful wasn't it?" "Yes, but I felt a bit sorry for father" "Why?" "We went as far as Kyoto, and yet..." "That again." "You're hopeless" "Why not go to bed, Father?" "I think I will" "It's a good time for that" "Look after him, Nori-chan" "Goodnight" "You shouldn't say such things" "Yes, I should." "I haven't said enough" "I think I'll be leaving" "It's early yet" "Yes, but..." "Minoru, we must leave" "We're leaving" "You needn't go yet" "Yes, but..." " It's Father..." " What?" "He fell in a faint!" "Father!" " Father!" " Father!" "Father!" "Call the doctor!" "Father..." "Hello. 30-1051 please" "Hello?" "30-1051 please" "HIRAYAMA CLINIC" "How is he?" "He'll be all right if he doesn't have another attack" "But his age..." "Oh, Aunt" "What happened?" "What's wrong?" "He was feeling fine" "After we returned, he suddenly..." "And how is he?" "It's his heart" "If no change occurs until dawn, he'll live" "Have you notified everyone?" "Yes, I've sent telegrams" "I see." "We'll go and see him" "My, it's sudden" "Yes, I was really shocked" "Was the Old Master's heart bad?" "No, he had a bad liver" "Who's the gentleman that arrived?" "He's the younger brother" " From Nagoya?" " No, he's from Tokyo" "The woman is the one from Nagoya." "She's his younger sister" "Of the Osaka gentleman?" "No." "Now try to remember" "The Osaka gentleman's wife and the Nagoya sister are..." "No, no, I'm wrong" "The Osaka gentleman's wife is the Old Master's..." "The Old Master is an adopted son." "She's his wife's sister" "I see." "It's very complex" "The Kohayagawa family is involved" "You must be tired." "Shall I lay out your bedding?" "No, never mind." "How about you?" "No thanks" "Why not rest for a while?" "The train ride must have been tiring" "No, I'm all right" "Have you been busy lately?" "Yes, rather" "And you?" "I'm busy as usual" "How is he?" "He's resting quietly" "That's fine" "He must get well" "It's hard on you, isn't it?" "It's a critical time" "Yes, he must somehow get well" "No attack has occurred He must have passed the danger point" "Yes" "I hope so" "It's five already" "If he's going to live, I want to return to Nagoya" "I left some unfinished business" "I'd like to go back, too" "Are you busy?" "Yes, a stockholders' meeting is scheduled" " You, too?" " Yes" "It's not imperative I go but I'm having a new plant built" "I wish you would both stay then" "Anything could happen" "Yes, it's better if you both stay You can't tell..." "What's wrong?" "What happened?" "Oh, Father!" "Father" "What's wrong?" "Are you all right?" "Oh, I slept well." "I must relieve myself" "What happened?" "Is he all right?" "I stopped him, but..." "I'm glad..." "I'm so glad he's well" "So glad" "Father has recovered his health" "Indeed" "It seems like it was a dream" "You don't throw good balls" "This one will be good" " Where's Minoru-chan?" " Out hiking" " Where to?" " Rokko Mountain" "I'd like to go." "It's Sunday" "I was invited but they were all children and someone like me..." " What?" " 100 yen" "I didn't say it" "You're unfair" "Shall I help?" "I'm finished" "Pass me that, Sister" "This one?" "Hisao-san is busy on Sundays, too?" "Yes, with this and that" "It's difficult running a small company" "Father's against a merger, but..." "It must be difficult" "I guess we'll succumb eventually" "You can't win over big capital" "Father would like to continue as now but it's doubtful" "Oh, that was wonderful exercise" "You've recovered completely" "I've caused you all lots of anxiety" "I'm all right now." "Look how strong I am" "Father..." "What?" " I must apologize to you" " For what?" "I said such spiteful things" "I don't mind" "I'm used to it" "That hurts me but it would have been unbearable if you had died" "Nonsense." "I won't die so easily" "I have many things on my mind about you and Noriko" "I'm sorry to worry you" "Are you undecided?" "Will you sew this?" "The seam is torn" " Tired, Granddad?" " Not at all" "Let's play hide-and-seek" "Hide-and-seek?" "Wait a moment" "Hurry up!" "Now, wait" "Hurry up!" "Am I a bother?" "What are you doing?" "Writing a letter" "To whom?" "Just someone" "I know" "What?" "It's to him" "That heavy eater" "No" "Any new developments?" "No, nothing new." "I must give an answer soon" "What will you answer?" "I haven't any reason to reject him" "Then marry him" "It's easy for you to say" "But why?" "He seems like a nice man" "If I married him the family would, of course, be relieved, but it isn't so simple" "Do you love someone else?" "You do." "I thought so" "Who is he?" "What's he doing?" "Remember when I went skiing last winter?" "You met him then?" "Is he the one we met at the department store?" "Is he the one?" "You see him often?" "No, he's in Sapporo at present" "Sapporo?" "My, he's gone far away" "The letter is to him, then?" "Just a reply" " I wonder..." " No" "Just a reply" "I don't know how Father and the others feel but you mustn't regret your choice" "After all, it's your life" "That's just the way I feel" "Well, anyone would waver" "Did you also?" "I was happy." "I never regretted it" "I'm still happy, although people feel sorry for me" "You plan to remain single, then?" "I've been wondering whether I can keep it up" "You're the devil" "Again?" "I'm tired." "Let's stop, shall we?" "That's unfair" "I just remembered some business" "No, you must close your eyes" "Now, this is the last time" "No peeking" "You must not look!" "I won't" "Face that way" "What are you doing?" "Playing hide-and-seek" "Are you ready?" "Are you ready?" "Are you ready?" "Are you ready?" "Come and find me" "Are you ready?" "Come and find me" "Are you ready?" "Come and find me" "Are you ready?" "Come and find me" "Are you ready?" "Come and find me" "Are you ready?" "Come and find me" "Come and find me" "Come and find me" "I don't know how young people feel nowadays, but..." "Isn't it hard to live with an overly virtuous man?" "The way I feel, for example I can take a man who was wild as a bachelor but not a man with bad traits" "Traits can't be corrected" "You're right" "What is it?" " Where's Granddad?" " I don't know" "Didn't he come here?" "What are you doing?" "Playing hide-and-seek Didn't he come here?" " I wonder where he's gone" " Right..." "It's Granddad!" "He's walking over there!" "Too bad." "We should have bet on both" "Yes." "I thought it would be bike number three and two" "It can't be helped" "Let's not be gloomy" "Let's go to Osaka and eat." "You like noodles?" "No, let's go home and relax" "Let's go to Osaka!" "To Osaka!" "She's so late" "Yes, she is" "Now, look here..." "I wonder why..." "That's what I want to ask you" "What's wrong?" "I wonder what's wrong?" "She said she'd try to come" "Try to?" "Why didn't you say so sooner?" "You're being quite irresponsible" "Don't you think so!" "You brought this proposal to me." "Right?" " Well, yes..." " Then show more responsibility" "If this is the result, I shouldn't have met her" "Why did you introduce her to me?" "When a man falls in love at first sight..." "When a man falls in love at first sight, it's serious" "Right?" "Is what I'm saying unreasonable or wrong?" "Oh, I'm disgusted!" "Let's drink elsewhere" "She said she found a painting of an ox." "Wait a little more" "We've already waited for two hours!" "Painting be damned!" "Let's go" "Just one more drink..." "No, thanks." "I'm full of liquid" "You'll tell me now she'll try to come" "She won't come" "I'm disgusted!" "Oh, well, it's good to see him so healthy" "Yes, it's good but he ought to tell me he's going out" "Yes after making us worry so much, but he's so easy-going" "And just this morning he said he'd gone to the brink of hell" "Telephone..." "Hello." "Yes, it is" "Yes." "Yes" "What?" "We'll be right over" "Nori-chan!" "Who was it?" " Father is ill" " Who called?" "Sasaki in Kyoto" "Wants us right over..." "a girl's voice" "What's wrong?" "I don't know, but Father has collapsed again" "That's awful" " We must go immediately" " What is it?" "Father's ill again." "Go with him" "Let's go" "They're taking so long" "They should be here by now" "Yes" "But I lost out" "What?" "There goes my mink stole" "I should have got it sooner" "I saw a lovely one at Kawaramachi" "Get George to buy it for you" "He can only afford a handbag at the most" "They're here" "Good evening" "It's George" "No, not George." "It's Harry" "I'm going" "Come home early tonight even though you've got a date" "I'll be back early" "I'll be going, Mother" "Oh, what a terrible day" "We shouldn't have gone there" "It wasn't such a good day as you thought" "How unlucky" "And it was so hot..." "Good evening" "Good evening" "Good evening" "I'm Kohayagawa" "Oh, please come in" "How is he?" "Please..." "It happened so suddenly" "It was 8:23" "He looks peaceful" "What time was it..." "He came and we went out together" "He wanted to go to Osaka, but I made him return" "While I was washing my hands, he sat here" "Suddenly he looked ill and held his chest" "I see" "I called a doctor right away but it was too late" "I see" "He suffered terribly" "Is that right?" "Did he express any dying wishes?" "He merely repeated twice:" ""So this is the end"" "I see" "It happened so quickly" "Life is so fleeting, isn't it?" "Aren't there a lot of crows today?" "Yes, there are" "Someone must have died" "Perhaps" "But no smoke is rising from the crematorium chimney" "You're right" "You must be tired" "No, not very" "Such problems you have" "Yes" "What about the company?" "I'm thinking about it." "It's given me headaches" "Will you merge?" "I suppose we will" "Too bad" "Father was worried about it" "It'll be better if a big company takes over and I get a job there" "A salaried man, eh?" "Well, I suppose..." "I thought Father was undependable but the House of Kohayagawa was preserved because of him" "Poor Hisao" "I'd hope things wouldn't change until after you got married" "I thought it over all night long" "I think it's best that I do what I desire" "What do you mean?" "Now that Father's dead I should marry the man arranged for me" "But I'd be dissatisfied" "It might help the Kohayagawa family but if I don't listen to my feelings no doubt I'll regret it later" "I don't know what to do" "What will you do?" "I think..." "Yes?" "I'll go to Sapporo" "I see" "I personally thought that would be the best" "Do you really think so?" "Yes" "You're young." "You must have a happy life" "You check the day?" "Have you taken care of the obituary notice?" "It'll be in the papers" "Then, that's taken care of" "Oh, lunch for the guests" "I've arranged that." "What about cars?" "Unnecessary." "It's just across the river" "It's close." "Let them walk" "Eight people?" "No, nine" "Oh, it's the lady from Nagoya..." "Hello." "Please, over there" "Thanks for your trouble" "Aunt..." "Please" "What a shock" "What happened?" "So sudden!" "His heart?" "Yes, it happened suddenly" "It's better than being an invalid" "Yes" "Did he say anything before he died?" "He just repeated the words:" ""So this is the end"" "Is that all?" "Yes" "So easy-going" "That's all he says after doing what he pleases" "How selfish" "I guess he wanted to live longer" "He was greedy" "I heard about that" "Oh, hello" "Hello" "It seems man is not enlightened even at the time of death" "Even a libertine like my brother" "Even the great Taiko had much misgiving at the moment of death" "Yes, how true" "Where's your uncle from Tokyo?" "He isn't here yet" "I see." "He must be busy" "My brother should have died when we were all here the last time" "He always did as he pleased" "He sold the family heirlooms and he was an incorrigible sinner but such a fortunate man" "But now that he's dead it's all over" "Hey, someone died after all" "Smoke is rising" "Yes, so it is" "It's pitiful if it's a young person instead of someone old" "Yes, but new lives successively replace those that die" "Yes" "How well nature works" "It'll be lonely with you gone" "After I go to Sapporo please come to visit me" "Yes, I will come" "But it's so far" "What do you plan to do?" "Me?" "I'll just continue my present life" "Minoru is growing up and I think it'll be best for him" "That's just like you" "I don't know about that" "Let's go" "We mustn't be late" "THE END"
