The old nun had a son-in-law who was a guard captain. Since he had seen Ukifune briefly, he had been unable to forget her back in the city. But it was too early to write a letter. Toward the middle of the Eighth Month, on a falconing expedition, he again visited Ono. He met the nun and told her that he was fond of a girl like Ukifune who was not talkative. She said "Ukifune wants to say goodbye to the world. But I think it would be difficult for a girl to abandon her long future."
