I say, give me Asa San. Very, very love." Asako remaining without speech, the Japanese frowned at her. "Why so silence, little girl? Say, I love you, I love you like all foreign girls say. I am husband now. I never go away from this house until you kiss me. You understand?" Asako gasped. "Mr. Ito, it is very late. Please, come some other day. I must go to bed now." "Very good, very good.
He made himself very useful and agreeable, fetching and carrying for her, and amusing her with his wonderful English. He almost succeeded in dislodging Titine from her cares for her mistress's person. Geoffrey had once objected, on being expelled from his wife's bedroom during a change of raiment: "But Tanaka was there. You don't mind him seeing you apparently." Asako had burst out laughing.
Every rich and noble person possesses splendid automobile." "Oh, that would be nice!" Asako clapped her hands. "Japan is so pretty. I do want to see more of it. But I must ask my husband about buying the motor." Ito laughed a fat, oily laugh. "Indeed, that is Japanese style, little girl. Japanese wife say, 'I ask my husband.

If he is a Japan enthusiast, he is amused by the naive ways, and accepts the conventional smile as the reflection of the heart of "the happy, little Japs."

Of course, Asako remembered now a spring morning with Geoffrey and the little dwarf trees. The notoriety of the Ito murder case did Asako a good turn. Her friends in Japan had forgotten her.
"People read that book and then they think that all Japanese girls are bad like that." "Why, darling, I didn't think you had read it," Geoffrey expostulated, "who has been telling you about it?" "The Vicomte de Brie," Asako answered. "He called me Chrysanthème and I asked him why." "Oh, did he?" said Geoffrey. Really it was time to put an end to lunch picnics and mermaidism.
As the result of an affecting scene with his wife, Geoffrey's opposition to the Yoshiwara project collapsed. If everybody went to see the place, then it could not be such very Bad Form to do so. Asako rang up Reggie; and on the next afternoon the young diplomat called for the Barringtons in a motor-car, where Miss Yaé Smith was already installed. They drove through Tokyo.
Her cousin's surprise shook Asako out of her dream; and the kiss left a bitter powdery taste upon her lips which disillusioned her. "Shall we go into the garden?" said Sadako, who felt that fresh air was advisable. They joined hands; so much familiarity was permitted by Japanese etiquette.
So he rambled on in the fashion of servants all the world over, until Asako knew all the ramifications of her relatives, legitimate and illegitimate. She gathered that the men had all left Tokyo during the hot season, and that only the women were left in the house.
