:16:04
that was inexcusable
:16:07
I went to senior Retainer terauchi
and apologized for you
:16:14
His Lordship is a generous man
so he did not find fault
:16:19
Had that been his father, though...
:16:23
...this would have meant
hara-kiri!
:16:25
I never dreamed
it would cause so much trouble
:16:30
I beg your forgiveness
:16:33
Kayano?
:16:36
How old are you now?
:16:38
I am ten years old
:16:41
Are you working at
your lessons?
:16:45
I'm learning needlework
and Confucius
:16:49
A girl has no need
of the classics
:16:53
All you need is
to write women's script
:16:56
too much book learning
and you'll never be a bride
:16:59
You can go
:17:09
I am here today
on an important matter
:17:16
A marriage arrangement
:17:19
You need a hard-working wife
to escape the misery you are in
:17:25
A village-headman acquaintance
has an unmarried daughter...
:17:30
...whom he agrees
to marry to you
:17:34
He knows you are poor, have two
young daughters and a senile mother
:17:40
I'm sure you realize that you are
in no position to demand beauty
:17:44
You need a healthy wife with
big haunches to bear children
:17:49
Her face is of no concern
:17:52
so I'll proceed with this
if you don't mind
