Haru (imitating as before). O—I—say——
Totmai. Did he like honorable food?
Yuki. When he was talking to the exalted Princess he looked much like a huge black crow speaking to a beautiful heron.
Mimosa (laughing). His coat was black.
Totmai and Haru. Black!
Mimosa. There was a white piece in front. Honorable tailor had had little stuff. It was strangely short in front and long behind. Over the white he wore one pretty thing, a band of blue ribbon with something jewelled and shining. Long stockings came up to his knees.
Totmai. Black for a festival!
Mimosa and Yuki. Black as a crow.
Mimosa. O Yuki, how hard to keep honorable laughter from our faces!
