When Genji was invited into the temple, he asked the bishop about the little girl. She was a daughter of the Prince Hyobu. Her mother was the sister of Fujitsubo. She was dead and the grandmother, the nun, looked after the child. Genji proposed to the bishop that he would take care of her but the bishop refused. While the bishop went out to conduct services, Genji visited the nun and asked her to take the child with him. But she hesitated because of the difference in age and background.
