*Umeko delivers a note into the hands of Lord Takeamada*
Lord Takeamada:
Two evenings past, as Umeko and I were feeding the Koi and lighting the evening lamps, we noticed a shadow move in the part of the garden near the front gates. At first we thought perhaps a crane had somehow flown over the wall and was trapped in the garden, but then to our shock a person, we could not tell if it was a man or a woman, dressed all in black and whose face was hidden, ran from the shadows. This person did not speak or challenge us but scaled the wall like a cat and vanished into the evening gloom.
I am at a loss to understand what purpose such a person would have to enter the grounds of the Okiya in such a manner. Although we are not afraid we are somewhat concerned, particularly after our conversation regarding the Tong.
We humbly ask for your guidance regarding this matter.
Respectfully,
(Signed and sealed)
Mariko
