Igo. There, you are unreasonable again.
I can’t help it, as we are both boys. This is another cause for tears.
Recitative. Two samurai appear at the door.
Samurai. If you please, is Master Gihei at home?
Recitative. He asks in a low voice.
Igo. Master is in; we are busy puppet-playing. If you want to see him, come in, come in.
Samurai. No, that would be disrespectful unless we are shown in. Please, tell him that Hara Goemon and Oboshi Rikiya desire to see him privately.
Igo. Oh, master, great big men have come.
Recitative. With this cry he runs in with Yoshimatsu, and his master Gihei comes out.
