Chapter VI
THE HIDDEN CAVE Time began, after a while, to drag heavily and Shibusawa thirsted for a change. The day Chayo, moon festival (in the latter part of September), had already come, and while sitting in the evening with his favourite sister, Nehachibana, he half spoke, half meditated: "Do you think I could go out to see the moon rise to-night? You know it is Chayo, and I want to wander off by myself and see the 'grand three.' It will enable me to start under a good omen.
