Kauzhiyu.—Who is it that deigneth to ask admittance?

Nakamitsu.—What! Is that Kauzhiyu? Tell young my lord that I have come to fetch him home.

Kauzhiyu.—Your commands shall be obeyed. [He goes to his master's apartment.] How shall I dare address my lord? Nakamitsu is come to fetch my lord.

Bijiyau.—Call him hither.

Kauzhiyu.—Your commands shall be obeyed. [He returns to the outer hall and addresses his father.] Condescend to come this way.[They go to Bijiyau's apartment.

Nakamitsu.—It is long since I was last here.

Bijiyau.—And what is it that hath now brought thee?

Nakamitsu.—'Tis that my lord, your father, hath sent me to bid your lordship follow me home without delay.

Bijiyau.—Shall I, then, go without saying anything to the priests, my preceptors?

Nakamitsu.—Yes; if the priests be told, they will surely wish to see your lordship on the way, whereas, my lord, your father's commands were, that I alone was to escort you.
