The older girl was presented at the Reizei Palace, which disappointed the lieutenant. Kaoru, on the other hand, had not been in love with her strongly. Being at the palace from morning till night, Kaoru realized the loss of the girl and felt like being left alone. One evening, when he was strolling with her brother the chamberlain, they came to a five leafs pine tree before what he judged to be the curtains of the new lady. Hanging from it was a very fine wisteria. Kaoru recited regretfully, "These blossoms, were they more within our reach."
