wearing it, with a moderately sized shark-skin sword sheath thrust through his sash, and wearing large hachi-sun geta. He cuts a fine figure in gallant style. Coming from outside with his left hem tucked up, he calls:
"Roshigure-sensei, are you in?" and enters. "Fusui" says "How about it, Roshigure-san, you're completely hopeless." "Roshigure" replies "Listen, I spent five days at Matsuba-ya, and on my way back I was dallying at Wakiku's place in Kuramae until just now." "Fusui" asks "Who is at Matsuba-ya?" "Roshigure" answers "Somenosuke." "Fusui" asks "First meeting?" "Roshigure" says "Yes." "Fusui" asks "Well, did you succeed?" "Roshigure" replies "No, I just had her cut her finger [in pledge]." "Fusui" says "That's amusing!" "Roshigure" says "Nothing amusing about it." "Fusui" observes "Your sleeves are quite puffed up. You must have had some
amorous encounter somewhere." "Roshigure" says "What's this? I had business at Katsura-ya, and when I passed through Yoshiwara just now, Osen of Ichimonji-ya kept calling me in persistently, so I dropped by briefly. Then Imakichi showed up acting all disgusted, coming around acting sullen for no reason. There are rumors that he's having an affair with Okiyu these days too." "Fusui" asks "Why did that Osen from Umamichi set up shop in Yoshiwara?" "Roshigure" replies "Ah, she must be nearly thirty now, but she's still a beautiful one." "Fusui" says "Well, I heard Imakichi came to Tachibana-cho recently, but has he moved back to Yoshiwara?" "Roshigure" answers "He's still in Dorobo-cho, and also going to Fukagawa
