“I’m a Yedo kid.”
“Ah, a Yedo kid, eh? No wonder I thought you a pretty stiff neck.”
“And you?”
“I’m from Aizu.”
“Ha, Aizu guy, eh? You’ve got reason to be obstinate. Going to the farewell dinner to-day?”
“Sure. You?”
“Of course I am. I intend to go down to the beach to see Koga-san off when he leaves.”
“The farewell dinner should be a big blow-out. You come and see. I’m going to get soused to the neck.”
“You get loaded all you want. I quit the place right after I finish my plates. Only fools fight booze.”
“You’re a fellow who picks up a fight too easy. It shows up the characteristic of the Yedo kid well.”
