- Were you early, Auntie?
- No, I just got here.
Where's your father today?
At home with that manuscript
that was due yesterday.
You know, the moths have ruined
your uncle's striped trousers.
Could Katsuyoshi wear them?
Wouldn't Bu-chan
look odd in striped pants?
It doesn't matter.
What if you just snip off the legs?
I guess I could.
Give it a try.
Here.
You brought them?
Don't go to too much trouble.
They won't last much longer.
But reinforce the seat.
I'm sorry I rushed ahead...
though I did wait for you
at Shinbashi Station.
I missed my train.
Please forgive the delay.
We will now begin.
Eraser.
Found it?
Here it is.
"Friedrich List. "
You're right, there's no Z. L-I-S-T.
That's what I thought.
Liszt was the musician.
"1811 to 1886."
Electric company.
Meter check.
Go ahead.
May I borrow a stool?
- Where is it?
- Under the hallway stairs.
Sorry for the bother.
- Not at all.
Here you are.
Professor,
List was self-taught, wasn't he?
Yes.
He was an eminent economist
of the historical school.
He really hated bureaucracy.
- The bill's on the counter.
- Thank you.
How many pages so far?
- Twelve or thirteen.
- Okay.
Six or seven more to go.
I'm home.
I'm home.
Welcome, Mr. Hattori.
- Forgive my intrusion.
Making the clean copy?
Thanks for saving me the trouble.
- Where's your aunt?
- She had to rush home.
Make us some tea.
Can you stay for dinner?
Not today, I'm afraid.
Why not? We all have to go
into Tokyo tomorrow.
Why do you have to go?
For the hospital.
And to buy you some new collars.
Professor,
we miscalculated
my mah-jongg hand the other day.
We did?
Which means 8 and 16?
So I was the winner after all.
Say, Noriko.
Is Sei at home?
- What for?
Go ask.
We'll play a round.
Have you finished writing?
Yes. Well, almost.
No game, then.
Where's that tea?
Did you bring the manuscript?
Yes, don't worry.
Want to sit down?
No, I'm all right.
- Coming home at the usual time?
- Yes.
Unless there's a faculty meeting.
Be careful going home.
- Professor Onodera!
- Hello!
- When did you get into town?
- Yesterday morning.
You're looking healthy and plump.
- Really?
Where are you headed?
- Shopping.
- May I join you?
- You're not busy?
- No, my work's done.
There's an art exhibit.
Shall we have a look?
But I need sewing needles.
Okay, let's go.
ART ASSOCIATIONS'
JOINT EXHIBIT
TAKIGAWA RESTAURANT
You must be tired.
But I'm glad I went.
I hadn't been to Ueno in ages.
But you know, there were
some horrible people there.
Did you see the guy shooting
his air gun at that pigeon on the statue?
Just like William Tell!
Here you are.
Professor Shigeno
dropped by last night.
Oh? Is he still in town?
He went home this morning.
By the way,
this is Somiya's daughter.
Really?
And all grown up now.
The one who had bobbed hair?
- That's the one.
- You don't say.
Your father comes here often.
Welcome.
- Shall I warm some sake?
- Yes, please.
Nori-chan,
would you like a sip?
No, thank you.
Something else, then?
Or something to eat?
I'm fine for now.
Allow me.
- Thanks.
Bring us a little something.
- Yes, sir.
You know...
I heard that -
What?
That you remarried.
Yes, I did.
- I feel sorry for Misako.
- Why?
It's just...
strange, don't you think?
