Sa- netsuna's wife, Karaginu, is a sister of Kansuke. Her mother, Koshiji, has been invited to pay a visit, and when she arrives, the husband will try to persuade her to induce her son to join Terutora. The first step in this scheme is the presentation of a costly kimono once owned by the Sho- 334 OVERLAND MONTHLY gun Yoshiteru. But the visitor says she cannot understand the reason for this uncalled-for favor, and declines to receive it. To offer her a second- hand garment, no matter how renown...- ed its origin, she says, is an insult. Terutora is dismayed at her unex- pected anger, and in an attempt to ap- pease her ruffled feelings, he dons his flowing silk robe and condescends to serve her glittering trays of appetizing viands. This only serves to increase her rage, for she now perceives his mercenary motive, and in her contempt she replies with a burst of scornful laughter. She upsets the trays of food and soils his lordship's ceremonial cos- tume. She asks him how he dares thus to outrage the mother of a samu- rai by thinking that her son is no bet- ter than a poltroon.
