Okaru. Yes, something that looked like an interesting letter.
Yuranosuke. Did you read it all from over there?
Okaru. Oh, how tiresome!
Yuranosuke. Then your life is in danger.
Okaru. What are you talking of?
Yuranosuke. What I am talking of, Okaru? Though it is a stale thing to say, I am in love with you. Will you not be my wife?
Okaru. Oh, stop. That is not true.
Yuranosuke. Well, truth will not take root unless it comes out of falsehood. Say you will be my wife.
Okaru. No, I will not.
Yuranosuke. Why not?
