Perhaps it was seeing the nakodo coming from
Jukichis house, perhaps it was the talk with his
wife that set Chobei to thinking definitely about
the future of his son. Heretofore there had been
only vague recognition of the fact that sometime
before many years had gone Soich would marry

to him with shock that the boy grown to
