Part 14 (2/2)

AOYAGI

Whither are you bound?

THE GAKI

I am a stranger bound for Kyushu.

AOYAGI

There is Kyushu. (_She indicates the silver stream_)

THE GAKI

I am told there is a ferry on the way to Kyushu.

AOYAGI

Yes,--at Is.h.i.+yama.

THE GAKI

At--Is.h.i.+yama.

AOYAGI

Why do you speak so?

THE GAKI

I merely echoed your own words.

AOYAGI

I did not say them so terribly.

THE GAKI

What is in your heart came into your voice, perhaps.

AOYAGI

There is the way to Kyushu.

THE GAKI

Down that path?

AOYAGI
