After the death of Yoritomo and the accession of his son, Tokimasa became chief of the council of state, and brought up the young shogun in idleness and dissipation, wielding the power in his name. When the boy reached manhood and began to show ambition to rule, Tokimasa had him exiled to a temple and soon after assassinated. His brother, then twelve years old, succeeded as shogun.
So I decided to come to you. I felt sure you would understand and know exactly what to do." Billie smiled. She was beginning to be very fond of this boyish, honest young man whose nature was not unlike her own. Just at that moment they saw Yoritomo and Nancy strolling along a moonlit path. He was talking to her in a low intense voice and she was smiling and dimpling as usual.
I don't see how you Japanese can resist the collecting habit in a country where there are so many beautiful things to collect." "My dear Cousin, they are as great collectors as anybody, only they keep their valuables stored in a fire-proof house what is it you call it, Yoritomo?" asked Mr. Campbell. "It is called in English language a 'go-down."
Ito insisted on doing up their hats in paper bundles. In the midst of a great deal of leave-taking and much smiling and bowing, Yoritomo found time to say to Nancy: "You see, chance has favored me to-day. The rain which kept me away from the bridge has brought you to my home." Nancy blushed in spite of her efforts not to.
Nobody refused a sacrificial morsel, but only Yoritomo and Mr. Buxton had the courage to eat it. Mr. Buxton swallowed his at a gulp and Miss Campbell shivered all over at the sight.

Quoting a popular saying that the worst enemies of the Minamoto were their own dissensions, he directed his troops to withdraw into Echigo, leaving to Yoritomo a free hand in Shinano. When this was reported to Yoritomo, he recalled his troops from Shinano, and asked Yoshinaka to send a hostage.
"But how can you be sure they're cannibals?" Stanton asked. "Your argument sounds logical enough, but logic alone isn't enough." "True! True!" Yoritomo jabbed the air twice with his finger. "Evidence would be most welcome, would it not? Very well, I give you the evidence. He eats human beings, our Nipe." "That doesn't make him a cannibal." "Not strictly, perhaps. But consider.
Yet no other plan of operations suggested itself to the Kamakura strategists. Yoshitsune was not consulted. He remained in Kyoto instead of repairing to Kamakura, and he thereby roused the suspicion of Yoritomo, who began to see in him a second Yoshinaka.
"Of course," answered Billie. "But what of it?" "Well," began Nicholas slowly, "Yoritomo has been a good friend to me. I have always liked him and looked up to him because he's a deal cleverer than I am and a wonderful student, but lately, it's hard to explain to you, Miss Bille, but I " "Don't you like him any more?" "No, no, it isn't that."
Hatred replaced the love which should have filled his heart, and he was ready to believe any calumny against the noble young soldier. One Kajiwara, a military adviser in the army, grew incensed at Yoshitsuné for acting against his advice, and hastened to Yoritomo with lies and slanders.
