From early in the evening up to past twelve, he would glue his eye to the shoji and keep steadily watching under the gas globe of Kadoya. He would surprise me, when I come into the room, with figures showing how many patrons there were to-day, how many stop-overs and how many women, etc. Red Shirt seems never to be coming, I said, and he would fold his arms, audibly sighing, "Well, he ought to."
"If he gives us the slip after giving us such trouble, it would have been a thankless task." "Well, I'm sure he will come to-night... ... Look, look!" His voice changed to whisper and I was alert in a moment. A fellow with a black hat looked up at the gas light of Kadoya and passed on into the darkness. No, it was not Red Shirt. Disappointing, this!
And, say, Red Shirt is said to frequent Kadoya at the springs town and meet his geisha there, but he keeps it in dark." "Kadoya? That hotel?" "Also a restaurant. So we've got to catch him there with his geisha and make it hot for him right to his face." "Catch him there? Suppose we begin a kind of night watch?" "Yes, you know there is a rooming house called Masuya in front of Kadoya.
The two laughed, and passed below the gas light, and into Kadoya. "Say." "Well." "He's here." "Yes, he has come at last." "I feel quite easy now." "Damned Clown called me a sporty Master Darling." Hell!" I and Porcupine had to waylay them on their return. But we knew no more than the man in the moon when they would come out.
Clown, greatly rattled, attempted to escape, but I stepped in front of him to cut off his retreat. "What makes one holding the job of a head teacher stay over night at Kadoya!" Porcupine directly fired the opening gun. "Is there any rule that a head teacher should not stay over night at Kadoya?" Red Shirt met the attack in a polite manner. He looked a little pale.
But at his cheerful countenance, I too became cheerful, and before hearing anything, I cried, "Hooray! Hooray!" "About half past seven this evening," he said, "that geisha named Kosuzu has gone into Kadoya." "With Red Shirt?" "No." "That's no good then." "There were two geishas......seems to me somewhat hopeful." "How?" "How? "That may be the case. About nine now, isn't it?"
Supposing we do break into a room, we cannot tell of all those many rooms, where we can find him. There is no other way but to wait for him to come out, however tiresome it may be. So we sat up till five in the morning. The moment we saw them emerging from Kadoya, I and Porcupine followed them. It was some time before the first train started and they had to walk up to town.
