:39:00
There now, that is your gift to me.
:39:07
This will buy your supper.
Now promise me something,
:39:11
Next time you take a tumble,
no frowns.
:39:17
That's better.
:39:30
In that moment I changed from a girl, facing
nothing but emptiness
:39:36
to someone with purpose I saw that to be a Geisha
could be a stepping stone
:39:43
to something else - a place in his world.
:40:21
The money the chairman had given me, could
have bought fish and rice for a month,
:40:25
But I gave it back in prayer, keeping only his
handkerchief.
:40:35
I asked one day to become a Geisha, and then
somehow, to meet him again.
