A brother indeed I have, but he left home when he was a child, made himself into a priest, and lives at the seminary near by.
I am much puzzled how to act. I think I will go across and speak to my brother of this matter. (He goes to the curtain at the end of the hashigakari.) May I come in?
(The curtain is raised and the BROTHER appears.)
BROTHER.
Who is it?
MAKINO.
It is I.
BROTHER.
Come in, brother. What has brought you hither?
MAKINO.
