"Okusan go away," said the boy san. "No come back, I think." "Where has she gone?" asked Geoffrey. The boy san, with the infuriating Japanese grin, shook his head. "I am very sorry for you," he said. "To-day very early plenty people come, Tanaka San and two Japanese girls. Very plenty talk. Okusan cry tears. All nice kimono take away very quick." "Then Tanaka, where is he?"
She clung to his neck; and he, seeing the hotel deserted and nobody about, raised her in his arms and carried her bodily upstairs to the interest and amusement of the chorus of boy sans, who had just been discussing why danna san had left okusan for so many hours that afternoon, and who and what was the Japanese gentleman who had been talking to okusan in the hall.
"Indeed, okusan, there must be reduction. Thirty yen; take it, please." He pressed the little box into Asako's hand. "Twenty yen," she bargained, holding out two notes. "It is loss! It is loss!" he murmured; but he shuffled back to his stall again, very well content. "I shall send it to Geoffrey," thought Asako; "it will bring him good luck. Perhaps he will write to me and thank me.
His embrace seemed to swallow her up to the amusement of the boy sans who had been discussing the lateness of okusan, and the possibility of her having an admirer. "Thank goodness," said Geoffrey, "what have you been doing? I was just going to organise a search party." "I have been with Mrs. Fujinami and Sadako," Asako panted, "they would not let me go; and oh!"
"Go away with okusan" the boy grinned again, "I am very sorry " Geoffrey slammed the door in the face of his tormentor. He staggered into a chair and collapsed, staring blankly. What could have happened? Slowly his ideas returned. Tanaka! He had seen the little beast in Yaé's motor car at Chuzenji. He must have come spying after his master as he had done fifty times before.
