but the fear of death was strong upon her lover.[6](6/ "tree and pragmatics") O-Yoné at last made answer,—“My dear young lady, why will you trouble your mind about a man who seems to be so cruel?…[7](7/ "tree and pragmatics") Well, let us see if there be no way to enter at the back of the house: come with me!”[8](8/ "tree and pragmatics") And taking O-Tsuyu by the hand, she led her away toward the rear of the dwelling; and there the two disappeared as suddenly as the light disappears when the flame of a lamp is blown out.[9](9/ "tree and pragmatics") IX[10](10/ "tree and pragmatics") Night after night the shadows came at the Hour of the Ox; and nightly Shinzaburō heard the weeping of O-Tsuyu.[11](11/ "tree and pragmatics") Yet he believed himself saved,—little imagining that his doom had already been decided by the character of his dependents.[12](12/ "tree and pragmatics") Tomozō had promised Yusai never to speak to any other person—not even to O-Miné—of the strange events that were taking place.[13](13/ "tree and pragmatics") But Tomozō was not long suffered by the haunters to rest in peace.[14](14/ "tree and pragmatics") Night after night O-Yoné entered into his dwelling, and roused him from his sleep, and asked him to remove the \_o-fuda\_ placed over one very small window at the back of his master’s house.[15](15/ "tree and pragmatics") And Tomozō, out of fear, as often promised her to take away the \_o-fuda\_ before the next sundown; but never by day could he make up his mind to remove it,—believing that evil was intended to Shinzaburō.[16](16/ "tree and pragmatics") At last, in a night of storm, O-Yoné startled him from slumber with a cry of reproach, and stooped above his pillow, and said to him: “Have a care how you trifle with us\![17](17/ "tree and pragmatics") If, by to-morrow night, you do not take away that text, you shall learn how I can hate!”[18](18/ "tree and pragmatics") And she made her face so frightful as she spoke that Tomozō nearly died of terror.[19](19/ "tree and pragmatics") O-Miné, the wife of Tomozō, had never till then known of these visits: even to her husband they had seemed like bad dreams.[20](20/ "tree and pragmatics") But on this particular night it chanced that, waking suddenly, she heard the voice of a woman talking to Tomozō.[21](21/ "tree and pragmatics") Almost in the same moment the talk-ing ceased; and when O-Miné looked about her, she saw, by the light of the night-lamp, only her husband,—shuddering and white with fear.[22](22/ "tree and pragmatics") The stranger was gone; the doors were fast: it seemed impossible that anybody could have entered.[23](23/ "tree and pragmatics") Nevertheless the jealousy of the wife had been aroused; and she began to chide and to question Tomozō in such a manner that he thought himself obliged to betray the secret, and to explain the terrible dilemma in which he had been placed.[24](24/ "tree and pragmatics") Then the passion of O-Miné yielded to wonder and alarm; but she was a subtle woman, and she devised immediately a plan to save her husband by the sacrifice of her master.[25](25/ "tree and pragmatics") And she gave Tomozō a cunning counsel,—telling him to make conditions with the dead.[26](26/ "tree and pragmatics") They came again on the following night at the Hour of the Ox; and O-Miné hid herself on hearing the sound of their coming,—\_karan-koron, karan-koron\![27](27/ "tree and pragmatics") \_ But Tomozō went out to meet them in the dark, and even found courage to say to them what his wife had told him to say:—[28](28/ "tree and pragmatics") “It is true that I deserve your blame;—but I had no wish to cause you anger.[29](29/ "tree and pragmatics") The reason that the \_o-fuda\_ has not been taken away is that my wife and I are able to live only by the help of Hagiwara Sama, and that we cannot expose him to any danger without bringing misfortune upon ourselves.[30](30/ "tree and pragmatics") But if we could obtain the sum of a hundred \_ryō\_ in gold, we should be able to please you, because we should then need no help from anybody.[31](31/ "tree and pragmatics") Therefore if you will give us a hundred \_ryō\_, I can take the \_o-fuda\_ away without being afraid of losing our only means of support.”[32](32/ "tree and pragmatics") When he had uttered these words, O-Yoné and O-Tsuyu looked at each other in silence for a moment.[33](33/ "tree and pragmatics") Then O-Yoné said:—[34](34/ "tree and pragmatics") “Mistress, I told you that it was not right to trouble this man, —as we have no just cause of ill will against him.[35](35/ "tree and pragmatics") But it is certainly useless to fret yourself about Hagiwara Sama, because his heart has changed towards you.[36](36/ "tree and pragmatics") Now once again, my dear young lady, let me beg you not to think any more about him!”[37](37/ "tree and pragmatics") But O-Tsuyu, weeping, made answer:—[38](38/ "tree and pragmatics") “Dear Yone, whatever may happen, I cannot possibly keep myself from thinking about him\![39](39/ "tree and pragmatics") You know that you can get a hundred \_ryō\_ to have the \_o-fuda\_ taken off….[40](40/ "tree and pragmatics") Only once more, I pray, dear Yone!—only once more bring me face to face with Hagiwara Sama,—I beseech you!”[41](41/ "tree and pragmatics") And hiding her face with her sleeve, she thus continued to plead.[42](42/ "tree and pragmatics") “Oh! why will you ask me to do these things?” responded O-Yoné.[43](43/ "tree and pragmatics") “You know very well that I have no money.[44](44/ "tree and pragmatics") But since you will persist in this whim of yours, in spite of all that I can say, I suppose that I must try to find the money somehow, and to bring it here to-morrow night….”[45](45/ "tree and pragmatics") Then, turning to the faithless Tomozō, she said:—“Tomozō, I must tell you that Hagiwara Sama now wears upon his body a \_mamori\_ called by the name of \_Kai-On-Nyōrai\_, and that so long as he wears it we cannot approach him.[46](46/ "tree and pragmatics") So you will have to get that \_mamori\_ away from him, by some means or other, as well as to remove the \_o-fuda\_.”[47](47/ "tree and pragmatics") Tomozō feebly made answer:—[48](48/ "tree and pragmatics") “That also I can do, if you will promise to bring me the hundred \_ryō\_.”[49](49/ "tree and pragmatics") “Well, mistress,” said O-Yoné, “you will wait,—will you not,—until to-morrow night?”[50](50/ "tree and pragmatics") “Oh, dear Yoné!” sobbed the other,—“have we to go back to-night again without seeing Hagiwara Sama?[51](51/ "tree and pragmatics") Ah! it is cruel!”[52](52/ "tree and pragmatics") And the shadow of the mistress, weeping, was led away by the shadow of the maid.[53](53/ "tree and pragmatics") X[54](54/ "tree and pragmatics") Another day went, and another night came, and the dead came with it.[55](55/ "tree and pragmatics") But this time no lamentation was heard without the house of Hagiwara; for the faithless servant found his reward at the Hour of the Ox, and removed the \_o-fuda\_.[56](56/ "tree and pragmatics") Moreover he had been able, while his master was at the bath, to steal from its case the golden \_mamori\_, and to substitute for it an image of copper; and he had buried the \_Kai-On-Nyōrai\_ in a desolate field.[57](57/ "tree and pragmatics") So the visitants found nothing to oppose their entering.[58](58/ "tree and pragmatics") Veiling their faces with their sleeves they rose and passed, like a streaming of vapor, into the little window from over which the holy text had been torn away.[59](59/ "tree and pragmatics") But what happened thereafter within the house Tomozō never knew.[60](60/ "tree and pragmatics") The sun was high before he ventured again to approach his master’s dwelling, and to knock upon the sliding-doors.[61](61/ "tree and pragmatics") For the first time in years he obtained no response; and the silence made him afraid.[62](62/ "tree and pragmatics") Repeatedly he called, and received no answer.[63](63/ "tree and pragmatics") Then, aided by O-Miné, he succeeded in effecting an entrance and making his way alone to the sleeping-room, where he called again in vain.[64](64/ "tree and pragmatics") He rolled back the rumbling shutters to admit the light; but still within the house there was no stir.[65](65/ "tree and pragmatics") At last he dared to lift a corner of the mosquito-net.[66](66/ "tree and pragmatics") But no sooner had he looked beneath than he fled from the house, with a cry of horror.[67](67/ "tree and pragmatics") **1** [2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg8128/7/page/2/) - ← previous: [Names of Incense Used., part 4](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg8128/6/) - next →: [page 2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg8128/7/page/2/) - ↑ back to [In Ghostly Japan](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg8128/)
