This wish was the first positive thought which had stirred her mind since her husband had left her; and it marked a stage in her convalescence. "If the house is ready," she thought "I will go there soon. The Fujinamis will not want me to live here permanently." This showed how little she understood as yet the Japanese family system, whereby relatives remain as permanent guests for years on end.

And who were these Fujinamis whom Count Saito knew, but did not know? Why had she, who was so socially careful, taken so much for granted just because Asako was a Japanese?
It was Count Saito, the Japanese Ambassador. She cornered him as he was admiring the presents, and whisked him away to the silence and twilight of her husband's study. "I am so glad you were able to come, Count Saito," she began. "I suppose you know the Fujinamis, Asako's relatives in Tokyo?" "No, I do not know them."
