- Did you arrive early, Auntie?

- No, I just arrived

- What's your father doing?

- Working

He didn't meet

his deadline yesterday

Moths have just ruined

your uncle's striped trousers

- Could you mend them for Katsuyoshi?

- Wouldn't he look odd in such trousers?

It doesn't matter.

You could just snip the legs off

- I can probably mend them

- Have a go

- Here

- You brought them with you?

Don't spend too long on them.

They won't last long anyway

But reinforce the seat

Good to see you

I was expecting to see you

at Shimbashi Station so I waited

I missed my train

Thank you for waiting.

We will now proceed

Pass me a pencil rubber

Can't you find it?

Found it

"Friedrich List..."

It's spelt without a 'z'

"L-I-S-T"

I thought so.

Liszt with a 'z' was the musician

I'm from the electricity company.

I'm here to check your meter

Please come in

May I borrow a stool to stand on?

- Yes...

- Where is it?

In the corridor, under the stairs

- Thanks

- Not at all'

Thanks

Professor, was List really

a self-made man?

Yes, and he became

an excellent economist

He detested bureaucracy...

- It's 3 kilowatts over!

- Thanks

How many pages do we have so far?

- 12 or 13 pages

- I see

That means 6 or 7 more to go

I'm home

- Hello, Mr. Hattori

- Hello

Making copies?

Thank you.

That saves me the trouble

- How was your aunt?

- She went straight home

- Make us some tea, will you?

- Yes

- Can you stay this evening, Mr. Hattori?

- No, I have to rush off

Why? I can go to Tokyo

with you tomorrow

Tokyo? What for?

To the hospital

And I need to buy you a shirt collar

By the way, Professor...

...that last mah-jong game we had,

we did over-calculate

Did we?

- You mean 8 and 16?

- So I won after all

Say, Noriko!

Noriko!

- Is Sei at home?

- Why?

Go and ask. We'll have a game

- Have you finished?

- Well, almost

No game till then

What about our tea?

- Did you bring the manuscript?

- Yes, it's fine

Do you want to sit down?

No, I'm fine

Will you be home at the usual time?

Yes, unless there's a faculty meeting

Take care

Uncle!

- Have you just got here?

- No, yesterday morning

- You've put on weight, Nori?

- Have I?

- Where are you off to?

- Shopping

- May I join you?

- But aren't you busy?

- No, I've finished

- Really?

Oh, an art exhibition is on.

Shall we go?

- I need sewing machine needles

- Very well, let's go

Art Group Exhibition in Ueno

Sponsored by The Mainichi Newspaper

Takigawa Restaurant

You must be tired, Nori

I really enjoyed it.

I haven't been to Ueno for ages

But you know, things have changed

Did you see the boy aiming

at the pigeon on the statue?

Just like William Hart!

Here you go

Professor Shigeno was here yesterday

Oh? Is he still in town?

- He said he was leaving today

- I see...

By the way, this is Somiya's daughter

Really? And so grown up!

- That little girl with the fringe?

- The very same

Fancy that.

Your father comes here often

Welcome!

Do you want sake?

Nori, do you want some?

- No, I don't drink

- Do you want something else?

- Or do you want something to eat?
