Love and Honor Page #4

---

I'm sorry.

All right.

Where is the master now?

On the veranda

listening to the birds, like always.

I'm back.

I brought you something sweet.

Not now.

Tokuhei told me.

I hid the truth from you

about your eyes.

I'm sure you're unhappy about that.

Forgive me.

I knew I'd have to tell you

sooner or later.

You were thinking of me.

It was harder on you than on me.

No more, please.

Leave me.

All right.

Leave me alone, please.

Tokuhei...

Tokuhei...

Did you fill the bath?

I'm doing that now.

I need some shopping done...

Tokuhei! Something's wrong

with the master.

Sir?

What is it?

Where's my sword?

My sword.

I put it away in the storehouse.

Put it away? You put it away

without my telling you to?

Tokuhei!

Husband!

I told him to!

Bring it here.

I will not!

What did you say?

Are you disobeying me?

Yes. I am.

I cannot give you your sword.

I will not do it!

Sir! You mustn't hit the missus!

Kayo!

Kayo!

I'm right here.

I want to die.

I'm no use to anyone now.

I'm better off dead.

That's not so!

I'm blind!

What does that matter?!

It simply means you can't see.

You're the same man you always were.

No!

I'm not.

Don't you see? I can't live

without help any more!

I'll never serve in the castle again.

I'll lose my status.

I'll be like a beggar, dependent

on people for the rest of my life!

But I'll be with you!

You'll come to despise me.

You'll leave me and go off somewhere.

What a...

What a horrible thing to say!

All I ever wanted since your family

took me in as an orphan...

was to be your wife!

How could you say that?

I can't even imagine

life without you!

Die if you want.

And by that same sword I will die

and follow you.

So die...

if you're going to!

Doesn't anyone have any ideas?

Shinnojo's become a man

of no use to anyone.

How are they going to live?

Will someone take them in?

Kayo...

Yes?

What do you think?

It's because of you two

we've all come here in this heat.

We have no intention

of troubling any of you.

If worse comes to worst, I'll work.

You'll work? What will you do?

Weaving, or sewing...

If that's not enough,

I could work as a tavern maid.

Don't talk nonsense!

A lady connected to our family

working as maid?!

What an awful thought!

I'm sorry!

Squire Togo...

Don't just sit there!

Tell us what you think.

He became the way he is

in the service of His Lordship.

Perhaps they could keep him

at even half his stipend...

Is there someone you could talk to,

Elder Brother?

I've been trying to think of someone.

Senior Counselor Hattori

was a friend of Father's.

If he were still living,

we could ask a favor of him.

But he's been dead three years.

All the people connected to him
