Autumn came. Genji visited the lady of Rokujo. He had cooled toward her, which made her sleepless. She feared the rumor of their difference in age. On a morning of heavy mist, she lifted her head from her pillow to see him off. He paused to admire the profusion of flowers below the veranda and sent a little girl to cut them. Chujo, the servant of the lady Rokujo, followed him down the gallery. She was a pretty and graceful woman. He asked her to sit her with him for a time at the corner of the railing.
