Yoshi—"That's it!"

At the sudden exclamation—Ha! It disappeared. The andon having previously gone out truly it was the very blackness of night. Coming out from under the mosquito net he (Yoshi) lit the wick. Smoking his tobacco he staid awake until dawn. In time the East became white. At once he left the house. He entered the bath at Agechō, breakfasted as usual at the cheap eating house in Komégata, and then went to the Morita-za in Kibikichō.

Friend—"Good-day."

Yoshi—"Iya! It's hot to-day."

Friend—"How now, Yoshi San? The O'Baké?"

Yoshi—"As usual—it came in the night."

Friend—"Is that so? When Otowaya San hears that, he will rejoice."

While in talk a message came from Kikugorō. At once Tsutayoshi went to the Bairin. Otowaya was waiting for him.

Kikugorō—"Yoshi San, how now—the ghost?"

Yoshi—"Patron, condescend to rejoice. It appeared in the night."
