In the middle of summer, Kaoru had a chance to see the First Princess through some curtains. He had been interested in her for some time. Dressed in a robe of white gossamer, the princess was incomparably beautiful. She was watching half-smiling at the women who were trying to hold some ice. Some had it in their hands and pressed to their breast and others to their head to get cool. One of them wrapped up the ice in paper to give to the princess. "No thank you. I do not like dripping water." Her dimly heard voice excited him enormously.
