Kaoru did not like being Lord Proper. Late in the month the plum blossoms were at their best. Thinking it a good time to show them the other side of his character, he went off to the mansion of Tamakazura. He saw that another young gentleman had preceded him. It was Yugir’s son, the lieutenant. He was also in love with the oldest daughter of Tamakazura. Some women had started playing kotos and flutes, and asked the guests to join them. Tamakazura was in tears because Kaoru resembled her late brother Kashiwagi. Cups were changed on and on, the party became its best when people sang "Bamboo River" together.
