He finished his business, and avoided having any personal interview with Viscount Maeda, not feeling calm enough to carry it out with dignity as yet. Then he returned to Yokosuka, where the torpedo flotilla was stationed, and threw himself with energy into whatever he found to do. On the third day came the news, brought by some 204 The Custom of the Country one who had been up to town, that Viscount Mseda's daughter was to be married, almost at once, to Yasu Omori. Then Takumichi's misery found... sudden relief in the very conviction of its reality. Here was some one to hate — a tangible enemy to be swept away. He understood now why he had always disliked Yasu, and why the dislike had instinctively strengthened of late. He laughed bitterly when he thought of O Tone's excuse for not accepting him. The shy child who was unwilUng to leave her parents had accepted this other man with alacrity, had probably singled him out before Takumichi had ever seen her.
