for them so l know nothing about that

Well, l suppose you've been

a loyal customer...

...l can give you one bonito

And the seaweed?

Just let her have one packet

Oh, don't do that!

- How does that feel, madame?

- Fine

- Are you off to Fujimura's ?

- Yes

Pass me that

Where on earth

has Namie disappeared to?

She's got two bookings tonight

Maybe she's gone looking

for extra work on her own?

Although she's young and resilient,

l wonder if she can handle it

l'm off now

See you later

Have you any sauce? Sauce?

Madame would like some sauce?

She's so untidy!

- Good evening!

- Yes?

Oh, it's you, sister

- They said you weren't feeling well

- l'm not. And l'm up to my neck in debt

l've got something to tell you.

ls anyone upstairs?

lt's an untidy mess, but go ahead

- Oharu, tea for two upstairs

- Yes, mistress

l owe her a lot of money

That's her elder sister.

She lives near the Kishibojin Temple

Oh...

The two sisters have mortgaged

this place to the hilt

They are stepsisters

with different fathers, though

So, have you had any news

from Osaka?

There's no reason to expect any

We haven't signed on anything

Anyway, we're disconnected completely

To think you turned down Mr Hanayama

for that good-for-nothing, eh?

How much did he swindle from you

for his new business venture?

Have you just come here to scold me?

Not at all. l have a gentleman

l want to introduce to you

He's a director of a steel company

He's invited us to go

to the theatre with him

Excuse me

- This is the new maid l told you about

- l see

Welcome, madame

We're relying on you...

...because nobody is perfect

in this place!

l look forward to being

of assistance, madame

Please excuse me

l'll have one of these

So, l think this fellow may help us out

The steel industry's big business

these days

- Do you think he'd lend us money?

- Well, that's all down to you

This is your last one, right?

Ponko! Naughty cat!

- ls Namie back?

- No, not yet

- Mummy, buy some more

- You've had enough

ls my aunt here?

Yes. She never forgets

to show up at the end of the month!

Oh!

So pleased to see you

You should be careful,

your voice travels

Are you hungry?

Not that we've much to offer

No, l ate earlier

And l always go to bed early, too

Good idea. lt saves on electricity bills

And it keeps the wrinkles away!

Someka, l expect you to start

paying me some interest

Good evening

Yoneko, can't you start

working a little harder?

Enough. l'll be going grey

with all the worrying l do

That scared me to death!

Ponko?

They're so beautiful

A geisha's costume is her weapon.

We spend a lot on kimono

The one your mother was wearing
