OBAA-SAN

Nadeshiko! My little girl!

AOYAGI

Where is Riki?

OBAA-SAN

He has gone to search for you.

AOYAGI

Was he alone?

OBAA-SAN

Alone?

AOYAGI

Yes. Was there no woman with him—a lady from Ishiyama?

OBAA-SAN

A lady from—

AOYAGI

Yes—tall—fair—singing—

OBAA-SAN

He was alone. A lady from Ishiyama—(Aoyagi shudders with dread) brought me a message in the early night—

AOYAGI

It was she—young?

OBAA-SAN

No—old.

AOYAGI

Had she seen Riki?

OBAA-SAN

Yes. On the mountain-side—

AOYAGI

The stranger said she was young and fair.

OBAA-SAN

Perhaps the stranger did not see with honest eyes.

AOYAGI

He would not lie.

OBAA-SAN

Sometimes the eyes and the ears lie.

AOYAGI

Ah!

OBAA-SAN

And if she had been young and fair?

AOYAGI

Riki met her in a glade.

OBAA-SAN

Did you see them meet?

AOYAGI

No—she was singing.

OBAA-SAN

A happy song, perhaps.

AOYAGI

She sang the song he made to me.

OBAA-SAN

How do you know?
