CHAPTER VI
CHERRY-BLOSSOM TIME
"The cherry trees in Ueno Park are in full blossom to-day," read Umé's father in the morning paper. "The Emperor visited the park yesterday to see the beautiful flowers."
"The Cherry Trees in Ueno Park are in full Blossom." Page 42.
Umé turned from looking at the cherry blossoms in the garden to look at her mother who stood on the veranda.
"Something will honorably give way in my heart, O Haha San," she said.
"What do you mean, Umé-ko?" asked her mother.
