Anger burst open the flood-gates
of the past. Think, Kimiye! Think
Kimive! Think. Kimiye! What had
she been doing all these long months
but just think? For fourteen months
she had leashed her tongue, seething
inwardly. In time, with little Boy’s
coming, that rebellion had given way
to a dogged determination.. She
might have gone on with Hajime, for
Hajime was good to her, as mother

“If you do this thing, you’ll regret

Kimiye interrupted twistedly, her
words measured:
“Don’t preach to me. You’ve med

blame myself for having been afraid.
It was fear of you, my own mother,
and not respect for you that made
me do the things you wanted me to
do! But now, I’m no longer afraid!
Do you hear? I’m not afraid!”
With these words, Kimiye flung
out of the door. All the life went
out of the face of the mother as she
listened to this tumult of words. She
stood gazing with unseeing eyes as
the door closed, then whispered
brokenly:
“It was for your own good, I did

In a few moments, the woman’s face
had withered as suddenly as when

what if time did refuse to turn back?
Surely, life could not be like that!
One could make mistakes and rec

it would not be too much to ask for
one lifetime . . - This was not a fact
to Kimiye. It was a prayer.
A mention of her name broke into
her thoughts. Mariko was speaking
in a voice coldly hostile:
“You should not have come! I
won't let you come into her life to

as Kimiye’s high heels clicked
down the driveway. Mariko was the
first to speak.
“Won’t you stay for supper?
“No thanks, Mariko, I’ve kept the
lady waiting for almost fifteen min
utes, and one never keeps a fiancee
waiting!”
At the door, Mariko said:
“Thanks, Min, for letting her keep
her dreams. She’s my favourite sis
ter,” and as she gave him her hand,
she grinned and added: Tell your
fiancee that I said the world lost a
great actor when you decided to be

Then came Min's voice, controlled,
and calm. The sound of Min’s voice
stirred the deep cords of memory.
“Mariko, you’re wrong like every

her for a long time. Kim’s a thor

Min thought that of her. Tears
came to Kimiyc’s eyes. In that brief
moment, Kimiye left girlhood be
hind her forever. Min thought her a
thoroughbred! There was her answer.
Life w'as not always kind to Kimiye

would walk with her through her
life, like a tender, lingering melody

she stepped out of the door, and
across the lawn.
The laurel leaves on the hedge

the bare branches of the fruit trees.
A clouded moon swung into the sky.
The storm had ceased.

from her with it.
Today, she had to be more than

faintly carmined. became tremulous,

“You asked Minoru Murakami to
come here.” the older woman re
iterated. “You, a married woman,
bringing him to my house! What
would Hajime say? What will the
neighbours say? Your father and I
have not raised you to bring shame
and disgrace to your house. You
shall ask Minoru Murakami to go
away. Think, Kimiye!”
Anger burst open the flood-gates
of the past. Think, Kimiye! Think
Kimive! Think. Kimiye! What had
she been doing all these long months
but just think? For fourteen months
she had leashed her tongue, seething
inwardly. In time, with little Boy’s
coming, that rebellion had given way
to a dogged determination.. She
might have gone on with Hajime, for
Hajime was good to her, as mother
had told her on that day when, in
an old Buddhist Church, she had

“If you do this thing, you’ll regret
it for the rest of your life. One can
not break ties such as those that
bind you ...”
Kimiye interrupted twistedly, her
words measured:
“Don’t preach to me. You’ve med
dled in my life long enough. I blame
vou, yes, but not half so much as I
blame myself for having been afraid.
It was fear of you, my own mother,
and not respect for you that made
me do the things you wanted me to
do! But now, I’m no longer afraid!
Do you hear? I’m not afraid!”
With these words, Kimiye flung
out of the door. All the life went
out of the face of the mother as she
listened to this tumult of words. She
stood gazing with unseeing eyes as
the door closed, then whispered
brokenly:
“It was for your own good, I did
it ... it was . . . and she hates me!”
In a few moments, the woman’s face
had withered as suddenly as when
an early frost nips the autumn blos
som—and robs it of its vibrant colouring. Her shoulders sagged, and
unaccustomed tears fell unheeded
down her cheeks. For her, the years
of countless sacrificing, the efforts
to make Kimiye a wife acceptable to
the Nakayama household had not
been a simple task . . .

But at the library door she paused
for fear rippled across her heart. But
what if time did refuse to turn back?
Surely, life could not be like that!
One could make mistakes and rec
tify them. Others had done it, and
it would not be too much to ask for
one lifetime . . - This was not a fact
to Kimiye. It was a prayer.
A mention of her name broke into
her thoughts. Mariko was speaking
in a voice coldly hostile:
“You should not have come! I
won't let you come into her life to
ruin it. Kimiye has to go back! It's
only a passing whim with her. She s
such a child!”
Kim felt hot- resentment against
Mariko. A childish whim! Even Mariko. her favourite sister, thought of

I’m young yet! I’ve years to live!”
“Don’t be flippant, child!”’ Even
as she rebuked, the older woman
