... no matter how resistant.
I am not accustomed to begging,
:34:12
but please know that...
:34:15
if you consent, the Chairman and
I would be most grateful.
:34:57
The Chairman needed me.
But I was a far cry from the Geisha I had once been.
:35:05
The secrets of our hidden world were postcards
now for girls back home.
:35:11
Any street-walker with a painted
face and silk kimono
:35:15
could call herself a Geisha..
:35:20
I looked for the one person who might help.
Mameha.
:35:26
The war was written on her face. Everything about her,
not just her home, was less than before.
:35:36
Sayuri, when my poor Baron filled his pockets
with stones, I was desperate.
:35:41
What could I do? I sold my kimono.
I traded my jade cones for rations.
:35:49
It was painful at first,
but I have made my peace.
:35:52
Now, I make a small but tidy
living renting rooms.
