Mimosa (C.). The samisen must sing her to land of health-giving sleep. O Yuki, we can watch that no evil comes. O Totmai and O Haru can rest in the Palace. See, they come.
ENTER Totmai and Haru L., running. All bow.
Totmai. O Mimosa San, how pretty and sweet you look! Did you enjoy much honorable pleasure?
Haru. How slow to speak! (Moves up stage.)
Totmai. Was Morita there? Looked he for Totmai? What was honorable meal? Did any wear very rich kimonos?
Mimosa (laughing). Many are questions, O Totmai! (Yuki and Haru talk aside, up stage, L. C.) Honorable Morita was there. I had no excellent speech with him.
Totmai. O vexing little one, make us laugh quick, about the barbarian Englishman!
[All sit in centre of stage clustering round Mimosa, who is in C. with Haru on the R. and Yuki and Totmai on her L.
Haru. Tell us, O Mimosa San, and you, O Yuki, of the doings of this strange man.
Totmai. What were the garments of the foreigner, and, O Mimosa (laughing), what was his speech? Did he say jolly little things?
