Years passed. The girl was even prettier than her mother. The young gallant of the region called Taifunogen heard about her and sent letters. Then Taifunogen decided the date of marriage one-sidedly. The nurse and her family set for Kyoto to escape from him. Although they had provided themselves with a fast boat and the winds did good service, and their speed was almost frightening, a pilot found them and almost reached them at Echo Bay. But the pursuit of the gallant was more threatening than that of the pilot. Fortunately, they had escaped from the pilot and Taifunogen and were relieved when they reached the Yodo River.
