HATMAKER.
Ah! I have heard that name. Then this must be the young Lord Ushiwaka from Kurama Temple. Come with me. We must go after him and give him back the sword at once. Why, he is still there! (To USHIWAKA.) Sir, this woman tells me she knows the sword; I beg of you to take it back.
USHIWAKA.
Oh! strange adventure; to meet so far from home
With humble folk that show me kindness!
HATMAKER and WIFE.
My Lord, forgive us! We did not know you; but now we see in you Lord Ushiwaka, the nursling of Kurama Temple.
USHIWAKA.
I am no other. (To the WIFE.) And you, perhaps, are some kinswoman of Masakiyo?[54]
