| One late afternoon, a telegram came from Tokyo which surprised my parents and turned them pale, and every late afternoon from the following day my father washed his feet and went out somewhere walking on the chilly ground in late autumn. |
或日の夕方、東京から電報が着くと父と母とは真青になって驚いたが翌日の夕方から父は毎夕うら寒い晩秋の土を踏んで洗足で何処へか出掛けた。 |
