“Say, I understand Koga-san is going to Nobeoka.”
“Isn’t it too bad?”
“Too bad? But it can’t be helped if he goes there by his own preference.”
“Going there by his own preference? Who, Sir?”
“Who? Why, he! Isn’t Professor Koga going there by his own choice?”
“That’s wrong Mr. Wright, Sir.”
“Ha, Mr. Wright, is it? But Red Shirt told me so just now. If that’s wrong Mr. Wright, then Red Shirt is blustering Mr. Bluff.”
“What the head-teacher says is believable, but so Koga-san does not wish to go.”
“Our old lady is impartial, and that is good. Well, what’s the matter?”
“The mother of Koga-san was here this morning, and told me all the circumstances.”
