"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."

"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" "Youmust 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?" "Youmean he can do as he pleases then?" "Of course not but youcan'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?" "Youmean in Kyoto?" "Naturally" "She liked it, but youlike Kyoto, too, don't you?" "What?" "Does something attractive there make yougo often?" "What?" "Wait..." "Be quiet!" "But then..." "Be quiet!" "Do youintend to repeat your sinful past behaviour?" "What are youtalking about?" "We know everything" "Know what?" "What's wrong with holding a service in Arashiyama?" "Which Arashiyama..." "Look at me!" "Youtwo suspect me, don't you?" "No, nothing of the sort" "What's the idea having Rokutaro follow me?" "Are youdoing 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." "Youshould know him!" "I don't know him" "That's too bad" "I've been asking his help" "I can't leave it up to youpeople" "Well, then..." "Forget it" "I will not." "Be quiet!" "Father!" "What?" "Are youreally 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 yoususpect me to that extent?" "I'll go, then!" "If yoususpect me so have Rokufollow me!" "How insulting!" "Youmistrust your own father!" "I'm going!" "Have someone follow me" "Find out where I go!" "I'm going." "Follow me" "See where I go!" "Youfools!" "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 youdid" "Who's my real father?" "What difference does it make?" "It's up to you" "Don't youknow 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 youask" "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" "Youneedn't" "Don't worry, I'm one of the family" "Youmust 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 youfound 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 youabout him?" "Yes..." "I see." "How do youfeel?" "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 youleft us that night" "I heard your mother's memorial service will be held at Arashiyama" "So it seems" "Will yougo?"

"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 youasked 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 youthink?" "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 youhave 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..." "Youtwo 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 youdo?" "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?" "Youmake me do all the talking" "How about yourself?" "What?" "Uncle's proposal" "Oh, that." "An old woman like me... 100 yen, please" "What?" "Youpromised to pay 100 yen each time yousaid old woman" "Oh, yes" "Here's 100 yen" "Thanks" "Be careful, Masao" "Minoru!" "Youmust look after him" "How do youfeel 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" "Youshouldn'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" "Youneedn't go yet" "Yes, but..." "lt's Father..." "What?"

"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" "Youmust 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 youbeen 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 youbusy?" "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 youwould both stay then" "Anything could happen" "Yes, it's better if youboth stay Youcan't tell..." "What's wrong?"

"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" "Youcan'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 youall lots of anxiety" "I'm all right now." "Look how strong I am" "Father..." "What?" "I must apologise 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 youhad died" "Nonsense." "I won't die so easily" "I have many things on my mind about youand Noriko" "I'm sorry to worry you" "Are youundecided?" "Will yousew this?" "The seam is torn" "Tired, Grandad?" "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 youdoing?" "Writing a letter" "To whom?"

"I haven't any reason to reject him" "Then marry him" "It's easy for youto 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 youlove someone else?" "Youdo." "I thought so" "Who is he?" "What's he doing?" "Remember when I went skiing last winter?" "Youmet him then?" "Is he the one we met at the department store?" "Is he the one?" "Yousee him often?" "No, he's in Sapporo at present" "Sapporo?"

"I don't know" "Didn't he come here?" "What are youdoing?" "Playing hide-and-seek Didn't he come here?" "I wonder where he's gone" "Right..." "It's Grandad!" "He's walking over there!" "Too bad."

"I wonder what's wrong?" "She said she'd try to come" "Try to?" "Why didn't yousay so sooner?" "You're being quite irresponsible" "Don't youthink so!" "Youbrought this proposal to me." "Right?" "Well, yes..." "Then show more responsibility" "If this is the result, I shouldn't have met her" "Why did youintroduce 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."

"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."

"I'm thinking about it." "It's given me headaches" "Will youmerge?" "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 yougot married" "I thought it over all night long" "I think it's best that I do what I desire" "What do youmean?" "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 youdo?" "I think..." "Yes?" "I'll go to Sapporo" "I see" "I personally thought that would be the best" "Do youreally think so?" "Yes" "You're young." "Youmust have a happy life" "Youcheck the day?"

"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 yougone" "After I go to Sapporo please come to visit me" "Yes, I will come" "But it's so far" "What do youplan to do?"
