Chapter 14 THE DWARF TREES

Iwa-yado ni

Tateru maisu no ki,

Na wo mireba,

Mukashi no hito wo

Ai-miru gotashi.

O pine-tree standing

At the (side of) the stone house,

When I look at you,

It is like seeing face to face

The men of old time.

For the first time during the journey of their married lives, Geoffrey and Asako were pursuing different paths.
