129. (JP) A reference letterCopy !req
130. (JP) from Lady Minami, my last mistress.Copy !req
131. Here's the letter. Pay attention.Copy !req
132. "Dear Miss lzumi Hideko,Copy !req
133. "Count Fujiwara has informed me of
your urgent need for a maid.Copy !req
134. "A maid is like a pair of chopsticks.Copy !req
135. "Her presence is little noted,
but her absence causes much distress."Copy !req
136. (JP) So is this place to your liking?Copy !req
137. (JP) The sun scarcely ever shines here.Copy !req
138. (JP) Uncle won't permit it.Copy !req
139. (JP) Sunlight causes books to fade.Copy !req
140. (JP) One could never grow fond of
such a dreary place.Copy !req
141. (JP) Not a good liar, are you?Copy !req
142. (JP) I'll take my leave.Copy !req
143. My head aches before every reading practice.Copy !req
144. Would you read it to me?Copy !req
145. (JP) Pardon?Copy !req
146. (JP) Oh, how kind of her.Copy !req
147. (JP) Lady Minami said
such nice things about me!Copy !req
148. Is that so?Copy !req
149. (JP) You're a Japanese lady,
why don't you speak Japanese?Copy !req
150. I'm sick of it.Copy !req
151. The books he makes me read are all Japanese.Copy !req
152. So read that for me.Copy !req
153. (JP) "Dear Miss lzumi Hideko,Copy !req
154. (JP) "Count Fujiwara said
you're looking for a maid.Copy !req
155. (JP) "Maids are like...Copy !req
156. (JP) a spoon... no...Copy !req
157. (JP) "are like chopsticks..."Copy !req
158. (JP) Is it a spoon?Copy !req
159. I don't know to read, Miss.Copy !req
160. Not at all? What about Korean?Copy !req
161. This is your name. Can't you read it?Copy !req
162. Reading can be learned,Copy !req
163. and I don't care if you curse or steal.Copy !req
164. But don't ever lie to me. Understood?Copy !req
165. Yes, Miss.Copy !req
166. My mum.Copy !req
167. She's beautiful, quite the charmer!Copy !req
168. And me? Am I "quite the charmer?"Copy !req
169. Everyone says I can't compare to my mother.Copy !req
170. Count Fujiwara said...Copy !req
171. So you've met the Count?Copy !req
172. Pardon?Copy !req
173. No, I never met him...Copy !req
174. My aunt! I heard it from my aunt.Copy !req
175. She was his nanny.Copy !req
176. What did the Count say about me?Copy !req
177. He said your face...Copy !req
178. Every night in bed he thinks
of your assets... your face.Copy !req
179. Why in bed, I wonder?Copy !req
180. What's with your foot?Copy !req
181. I've nowhere to go.Copy !req
182. I've just stayed in this house
since coming to Korea at age 5.Copy !req
183. But in new shoes, even well-trodden paths
feel fresh.Copy !req
184. The ones from hereCopy !req
185. up to here should fit you.Copy !req
186. Time for reading practice.Copy !req
187. I'll go alone.Copy !req
188. Miss?Copy !req
189. But rain is falling.Copy !req
190. At noon, come knock on the door. Promise?Copy !req
191. See you at...Copy !req
192. See you later.Copy !req
193. What's this?Copy !req
194. Why would the lady of such a big house...Copy !req
195. Did the big house make her go mad?Copy !req
196. (JP) My new handmaiden.Copy !req
197. (JP) The snake, the snake!Copy !req
198. (JP) You mustn't pass that point.Copy !req
199. (JP) Be warned!Copy !req
200. (JP) The snake marks the 'bounds of knowledge'.Copy !req
201. A snake!Copy !req
202. The Count?Copy !req
203. Today?Copy !req
204. That's why you insisted on a bath.Copy !req
205. My aunt, when she heard a guest was coming,Copy !req
206. dropped everything and bathed her Baby Miss.Copy !req
207. Nothing made her happier than when guests
praised her baby's scent.Copy !req
208. You are my Baby Miss.Copy !req
209. Auntie gave the babies candy during baths.Copy !req
210. To teach them that bath time is sweet.Copy !req
211. What's Wrong?Copy !req
212. One of my teeth is sharp. It keeps cutting me.Copy !req
213. So this was the scent.Copy !req
214. All smooth.Copy !req
215. (JP) Welcome, sir!Copy !req
216. (JP) You are too kind to greet me
this way upon my arrival,Copy !req
217. (JP) when the journey has left me so unkempt.Copy !req
218. (JP) Now your tedium is over.Copy !req
219. (JP) I'll ensure your
painting lessons are stimulating.Copy !req
220. (JP) This must be Okju.Copy !req
221. (JP) At your service, milord.Copy !req
222. (JP) You know if you fail, it'll put me in
an awkward position?Copy !req
223. (JP) A decent bone structure for a Korean...Copy !req
224. (JP) So, are you carrying out
your duties faithfully?Copy !req
225. (JP) Count Fujiwara requests Miss Hideko
to kindly allow her maid TamakoCopy !req
226. (JP) to be sent to his Lordship
for a brief errand.Copy !req
227. (JP) Did you call for me, milord?Copy !req
228. (JP) You may enter.Copy !req
229. Everyone's talking about you in Eunpo.Copy !req
230. How you'll be an even greater thief
than your mum.Copy !req
231. Who believes the talk of a swindler?Copy !req
232. When I give the signal, "fully ripe",Copy !req
233. arrange for her and I to be alone.Copy !req
234. Then I'll gobble her up to the pit.Copy !req
235. She's so naive, even if a man
pulls on her nipplesCopy !req
236. she won't know what he wants.Copy !req
237. So it's your job to tell herCopy !req
238. that everything is because of me.Copy !req
239. (JP) "Oh my, since the Count arrived,"Copy !req
240. (JP) "your toenails are growing much faster!"Copy !req
241. That sort of thing, all right?Copy !req
242. Here, a gift.Copy !req
243. Oh, he's so thoughtful!Copy !req
244. That'll be mine when she goes to the madhouse.Copy !req
245. It pains my heart to see this poor girl.Copy !req
246. Have you ever seen sapphires so blue?Copy !req
247. Let's take a look...Copy !req
248. This isn't a sapphire, it's blue spinel.Copy !req
249. It's all right, Miss.
Spinels are expensive too.Copy !req
250. How do you know...Copy !req
251. Oh, my Auntie... l mean, Lady Minami taught me.Copy !req
252. But it's fine!Copy !req
253. No need to be ashamed at all.Copy !req
254. Your average fence can barely tell them apart.Copy !req
255. Is that so?Copy !req
256. Of all the things I've washed and dressed,Copy !req
257. has anything been this pretty?Copy !req
258. I'd like to show her to the people at home.Copy !req
259. What would they say?Copy !req
260. Probably this?Copy !req
261. (JP) Mesmerising!Copy !req
262. (JP) S... Spellbindingly beautiful!Copy !req
263. He's shameless.Copy !req
264. B... b... beautiful!Copy !req
265. L... l... I'm flummoxed in your presence!Copy !req
266. If you stutter like that
and make your face go red,Copy !req
267. those uppity bitches will feel superior,Copy !req
268. and then they'll open up to you, all right?Copy !req
269. You try it.Copy !req
270. One, two, three!Copy !req
271. The Count kept pushing wine on me.Copy !req
272. Does it feel okay?Copy !req
273. It's suffocating. How do ladies
wear such things?Copy !req
274. You think this is suffocating?Copy !req
275. Miss, you're killing me!Copy !req
276. Dressed up, you look like a lady, too.Copy !req
277. I think I knowCopy !req
278. what the Count meant.Copy !req
279. Your face...Copy !req
280. Each night in bed,Copy !req
281. I think of your face.Copy !req
282. Don't be silly, Miss.Copy !req
283. Ladies truly are the dolls of maids.Copy !req
284. All these buttons are for my amusement.Copy !req
285. If I undo the buttons and pull out the cords,Copy !req
286. then, the sweet things within,Copy !req
287. those sweet and soft things...Copy !req
288. If I were still a pickpocket
I'd slip my hand inside...Copy !req
289. Miss, are you truly going to marry your uncle?Copy !req
290. That's what he raised me for,
knowing he'd need my fortune.Copy !req
291. There's a famous collector in France.Copy !req
292. He'll be putting his entire library
up for auction.Copy !req
293. The gold mine's proceeds won't cover the cost.Copy !req
294. If it were me, I'd sell books
to buy gold, not the opposite.Copy !req
295. For now,Copy !req
296. the Lady needn't go read to the sick fuckCopy !req
297. who wants to marry his wife's niece.Copy !req
298. Instead the fake Count goes to the Library
to make fake books.Copy !req
299. The Lady waits for her 2 o'clock art class,Copy !req
300. and waits...Copy !req
301. Poor girl,Copy !req
302. losing her heart to a fake.Copy !req
303. (JP) Please, Count!Copy !req
304. (JP) Sorry to be late.Copy !req
305. (JP) It's no matter.Copy !req
306. (JP) Maybe I need more practice
to give it dimensionality?Copy !req
307. (JP) Dimensionality... perhaps.Copy !req
308. (JP) Nonetheless, you have a vision
that transcends mere skill.Copy !req
309. (JP) As if you see directly into
an object's essence.Copy !req
310. (JP) For example, the fact that
this peach contains a lot of water.Copy !req
311. (JP) I hesitate to stand before you,Copy !req
312. (JP) for fear that you might read my thoughts.Copy !req
313. (JP) That's enough for today.Copy !req
314. (JP) Almost fully ripe.Copy !req
315. Already?Copy !req
316. Damn...Copy !req
317. Do you know what?Copy !req
318. Since the Count arrived,
your cheeks have grown flushed.Copy !req
319. Have they?Copy !req
320. How did your mum die?Copy !req
321. When I was a baby,
at a big house, she was hanged...Copy !req
322. - I mean, she hanged...
- Hanged herself? Like my aunt.Copy !req
323. Well, pretty much.Copy !req
324. Still, while alive she hugged you a lot?Copy !req
325. My mother died giving birth to me.Copy !req
326. So it's as if I strangled her myself.Copy !req
327. I wish I'd never been born.Copy !req
328. No baby is ever guilty of being born.Copy !req
329. If your mother thought you could understandCopy !req
330. this is what she'd have said.Copy !req
331. That she was so lucky to have you before dying.Copy !req
332. That she had no regrets.Copy !req
333. Did my mum cry before they hanged her?Copy !req
334. Your mother stole a thousand times,Copy !req
335. was caught just once, and died once.Copy !req
336. Did she cry?Copy !req
337. She laughed.Copy !req
338. Said she was lucky to have you before dying.Copy !req
339. That she had no regrets.Copy !req
340. Wait here a moment, Miss.Copy !req
341. I'll go pick mushrooms.Copy !req
342. We'll have mushroom stew tonight,
you like that.Copy !req
343. I'll go with you.Copy !req
344. I'll be quick.Copy !req
345. Before it rains.Copy !req
346. Good girl...Copy !req
347. (JP) What a coincidence.Copy !req
348. (JP) Indeed.Copy !req
349. (JP) May I sit by you?Copy !req
350. The lady sits, shy and trembling.Copy !req
351. The gentleman is persistent.Copy !req
352. The perceptive maid has
stepped out for a moment.Copy !req
353. All is well, Sookee.Copy !req
354. Everyone's performing their roles
so damned well.Copy !req
355. Fucking hell.Copy !req
356. You know servants can't use this entrance!Copy !req
357. Hey!Copy !req
358. I wish I'd never come here.Copy !req
359. It was wrong to come.Copy !req
360. (JP) Tamako, you brought watercolours, right?Copy !req
361. (JP) Of course, milord!Copy !req
362. (JP) Watercolour paints and brushes...Copy !req
363. (JP) Go and get the oils.Copy !req
364. (JP) A day like this demands oils, yes!Copy !req
365. (JP) A blackout! Bring a lantern.Copy !req
366. (JP) Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
367. (JP) Hurry!Copy !req
368. I need to think.Copy !req
369. I need to become rich,Copy !req
370. sail off to a distant harbour,
eat food I scarcely recognize,Copy !req
371. buy my fill of glittering baubles, and...Copy !req
372. not think of Hideko.Copy !req
373. Never think of Hideko...Copy !req
374. I returned and you didn't even come to me?Copy !req
375. It was late, I must have slept. My apologies.Copy !req
376. You know how hard it is to do those readings?Copy !req
377. Must I remove makeup
and change clothes all by myself?Copy !req
378. I feel a nightmare coming. Sleep here.Copy !req
379. He proposed to me.Copy !req
380. Next full moon,Copy !req
381. while my uncle visits his mine,
he wants to elope to Japan.Copy !req
382. What did you say?Copy !req
383. I said I wasn't sure.Copy !req
384. Why?Copy !req
385. I'm scared.Copy !req
386. Of your uncle's anger?Copy !req
387. Of the Count.Copy !req
388. What's to be scared of'? He's so kind.Copy !req
389. I don't know, I just feel it.Copy !req
390. Like the reflex of pulling
your hand from a flame.Copy !req
391. Tell me...Copy !req
392. What is it that men want?Copy !req
393. Pardon?Copy !req
394. I mean after getting married, at night...Copy !req
395. How would I know? I'm practically a child.Copy !req
396. With no mother. No one here to...Copy !req
397. First,Copy !req
398. I guess we'd kiss?Copy !req
399. What the hell.Copy !req
400. I'll show her one thing then put her to bed.Copy !req
401. Poor thing,Copy !req
402. alone in a strange country,
reading those useless books,Copy !req
403. without learning a single useful skill.Copy !req
404. Why does the candy taste different?Copy !req
405. The bitter turned sour,Copy !req
406. the sour turned sweet,Copy !req
407. the sweet turned savoury...Copy !req
408. How do you know all this?Copy !req
409. You must have experience?Copy !req
410. My friend Kutan taught me.Copy !req
411. Taught you? In words?Copy !req
412. Yes, only in words.Copy !req
413. So this is how it feels.Copy !req
414. That's what you will feel for the Count.Copy !req
415. Really?Copy !req
416. The Count, truly...Copy !req
417. He won't think he's making love to a corpse?Copy !req
418. You know about my cold hands and feet.Copy !req
419. Really?Copy !req
420. Here.Copy !req
421. Feels just fine.Copy !req
422. You like it?Copy !req
423. Do it to me. I want to know how it feels.Copy !req
424. I'm sure he'll want to do this too.Copy !req
425. And then...Copy !req
426. It's so cute.Copy !req
427. If the Count sees this...Copy !req
428. Will he really be so tender as this?Copy !req
429. Of course.Copy !req
430. And he'll touch you like this.Copy !req
431. And like this...Copy !req
432. Keep doing it like the Count would.Copy !req
433. And this is what he'll say.Copy !req
434. (JP) It's so soft, warm,Copy !req

444. (JP) Stop!Copy !req
445. doesn't like it, you damned scoundrel!Copy !req
446. (JP) Stop it!Copy !req
447. (JP) I can't do this.Copy !req
448. (JP) Come here, Tamako.Copy !req
449. (JP) Find some other job to do.Copy !req
450. (JP) You catch my meaning?Copy !req
451. (JP) I've no other job to do.Copy !req
452. (JP) My job is to look after the Lady.Copy !req
453. I spit it out without chewing!
All because of you!Copy !req
454. She's fully ripe! Fully ripe!Copy !req
455. If I miss this fortnight, I'm finished!Copy !req
456. Can you feel it? How much I want it?Copy !req
457. After fighting so hard to escape
my garbage heap of a life,Copy !req
458. you think I'll let you fuck it up, you bitch?Copy !req
459. Shall I tell the Lady you're nothing
but a lowly pickpocket?Copy !req
460. Fine, I'll have something to tell her too.Copy !req
461. That you're nothing but the son of
a lowly Korean farmhand and shaman...Copy !req
462. Sookee.Copy !req
463. Think of your family at home.Copy !req
464. Boksun raising babies with her bad back,
and those two halfwits.Copy !req
465. How will they feel if you go home empty-handed?Copy !req
466. Want to shit on your mother's legend?Copy !req
467. You should go home in glory.Copy !req
468. So don't push Hideko too hard.Copy !req
469. She's got no one on this earth.Copy !req
470. If you frighten her,
she'll close up hard as a clam.Copy !req
471. And please...Copy !req
472. Don't ever again put my hand on
your tiny joke of a cock.Copy !req
473. Oh my.Copy !req
474. Your toenails have grown faster
since the Count arrived.Copy !req
475. How curious.Copy !req
476. Miss, doesn't it bother you not to know?Copy !req
477. How many ships sail on the Wide sea...Copy !req
478. People leaving, people returning,Copy !req
479. those saying farewell or welcome back.Copy !req
480. What's the farthest you've travelled?Copy !req
481. The hill beyond the manor?Copy !req
482. I could be content here, if you were with me.Copy !req
483. You're fortunate, Miss.Copy !req
484. The man who loves you has
the power to protect you.Copy !req
485. That's rare.Copy !req
486. But I'm not sure... if I love him.Copy !req
487. You do love him.Copy !req
488. How do you know?Copy !req
489. You stare out the window all day.Copy !req
490. Turn in your sleep and sigh.Copy !req
491. And your toenails.Copy !req
492. Even if I say I don't love him,Copy !req
493. if I say that I love someone else...Copy !req
494. Me, who has no one on this earth...Copy !req
495. Do you still want me to marry him?Copy !req
496. You will love him.Copy !req
497. Miss!Copy !req
498. In the end,Copy !req
499. Hideko accepted the proposal,
provided that I come to Japan too.Copy !req
500. The Count, after feigning annoyance for a bit,Copy !req
501. nodded his head.Copy !req
502. On the day her Uncle left to visit his mine,Copy !req
503. the Count pretended to go back
to Japan, and hid nearby.Copy !req
504. (JP) You'll have a week of freedom,Copy !req
505. (JP) but always remember the basement.Copy !req
506. Miss!Copy !req
507. (JP) Thank you for travelling on
our ferry today.Copy !req
508. (JP) We will arrive
at Shimonoseki at 7:30 pm...Copy !req
509. (JP) Finally we're going home.Copy !req
510. (JP) It's been three yearsCopy !req
511. (JP) To not steal...Copy !req
512. (JP) To not steal...Copy !req
513. (JP) To not commit adultery...Copy !req
514. (JP) To not commit adultery...Copy !req
515. (JP) To not lie...Copy !req
516. (JP) To not lie...Copy !req
517. "Spider thread pulled into stringsCopy !req
518. "Strumming makes a zither singCopy !req
519. "Thousand woesCopy !req
520. "Under the blue sky Only the crows cryCopy !req
521. "How sorrowful my zither My beloved zither"Copy !req
522. (JP) Did you sleep well?Copy !req
523. (JP) Excuse me.Copy !req
524. (JP) Sorry.Copy !req
525. The Count paid the innkeeper to spy on us,
afraid we might run off.Copy !req
526. Why get dressed? I've nothing to do anyway.Copy !req
527. Things are moving too slowly.Copy !req
528. I fear Hideko might truly go mad.Copy !req
529. Shall we play 'maid', like before?Copy !req
530. From morning to night
we see no sign of the Count.Copy !req
531. Certifying the marriage and converting
the inheritance to cashCopy !req
532. require much work, he says.Copy !req
533. How cruel can you be?Copy !req
534. You plucked the flower, now re-plant it.Copy !req
535. What do you want?Copy !req
536. Hurry up and throw her into the madhouse!Copy !req
537. A week here...Copy !req
538. Then finally...Copy !req
539. (JP) This way.Copy !req
540. (JP) Who is that person?Copy !req
541. (JP) The Countess Lady Fujiwara.Copy !req
542. (JP) Her maiden name was lzumi Hideko.Copy !req
543. (JP) And who might you be?Copy !req
544. (JP) I am the Lady's handmaiden.Copy !req
545. (JP) Then, what kind of treatmentCopy !req
546. (JP) do you believe your Lady requires?Copy !req
547. (JP) She should be confined in a placeCopy !req
548. (JP) where no one can harm her,
and where she can do no harm.Copy !req
549. (JP) Just a few tests, then let's have
lamb chops at the Peace Hotel.Copy !req
550. Almost there. Good work.Copy !req
551. (JP) Don't be frightened.Copy !req
552. (JP) Good day, Countess.Copy !req
553. (JP) Do you remember me?Copy !req
554. (JP) Countess?Copy !req
555. (JP) What is this?Copy !req
556. (JP) We mean you no harm, Countess.Copy !req
557. (JP) We're going to look after you.Copy !req
558. (JP) You've got the wrong person.
She is the Countess.Copy !req
559. (JP) Tell them, Your Lordship!Copy !req
560. (JP) She still believes
she's a Korean handmaiden.Copy !req
561. (JP) It's because her nanny was Korean.Copy !req
562. (JP) You scoundrel!Copy !req
563. (JP) Let go of me, you filthy bitches!Copy !req
564. (JP) We do not use such language here,
your Ladyship.Copy !req
565. Miss!Copy !req
566. (JP) My poor Lady, she's gone nutty.Copy !req
567. (JP) If it's any help,Copy !req
568. (JP) this is from her mammy,Copy !req
569. (JP) and she used to cherish it
before going mad.Copy !req
570. (JP) Such a considerate maid.Copy !req
571. You thought Hideko a lamb.Copy !req
572. Lamb, my arse.Copy !req
573. I tell you, right from
the start Miss lzumi Hideko...Copy !req
574. had always been...Copy !req
575. Miss!Copy !req
576. a rotten bitch.Copy !req
577. 'PART TWO'Copy !req
578. (JP) I'm not a rotten bitch! No! No!Copy !req
579. (JP) Put it in your mouth, Hideko.Copy !req
580. (JP) Hold out your hand.Copy !req
581. (JP) Next time you feel like talking back,Copy !req
582. (JP) remember the taste of this metal bead.Copy !req
583. (JP) You'll sleep alone from tonight.Copy !req
584. All right?Copy !req
585. (JP) Please give me a light.Copy !req
586. (JP) We've been ordered to save oil.Copy !req
587. You little brat.Copy !req
588. (JP) Speak Japanese!Copy !req
589. (JP) In there is a man the size of an ogreCopy !req
590. (JP) who can't stand
the sound of girls screaming.Copy !req
591. (JP) If he hears you, he'll burst in
through that door after you.Copy !req
592. (JP) And then?Copy !req
593. (JP) He'll smother you with his giant body.Copy !req
594. (JP) So you can't make a sound.Copy !req
595. (JP) Aunt.Copy !req
596. (JP) My, my.Copy !req
597. (JP) Scaring a little girl like that.Copy !req
598. (J F') And me?Copy !req
599. (JP) Am I pretty too?Copy !req
600. (JP) Look closely.Copy !req
601. (JP) Everyone says I can't compareCopy !req
602. (JP) to my big sister.Copy !req
603. (JP) Day.Copy !req
604. (JP) Night.Copy !req
605. (JP) Day.Copy !req
606. (JP) Night.Copy !req
607. (JP) Man.Copy !req
608. (JP) Woman.Copy !req

626. (JP) Vagina.Copy !req
627. (JP) P.. penis.Copy !req
628. (JP) Vagina.Copy !req
629. (JP) You think if you speak Korean,
I won't understand?Copy !req
630. I was going a bit crazy,
so I made them crazy too.Copy !req
631. When Mrs. Sasaki looked as crazy as me,Copy !req
632. life was more bearable.Copy !req
633. (JP) I know you are a bit insane.Copy !req
634. (JP) It runs in your mother's family.Copy !req
635. (JP) That's why I'm training you.Copy !req
636. (JP) To set your mind right.Copy !req
637. (JP) If I fail, there's a place called
a "mental hospital" in Japan.Copy !req
638. (JP) Established by the rational Germans,Copy !req
639. (JP) it's very effective in treating lunacy.Copy !req
640. (JP) They dig holes in the dirt,
put a patient in each one,Copy !req
641. (JP) and put lids on top.Copy !req
642. (JP) If patients improve they get a leash,Copy !req
643. (JP) so they can crawl around like dogs.Copy !req
644. The cherry tree that came with me
on the ship from JapanCopy !req
645. bloomed twice.Copy !req
646. (JP) "When Jinlian finally
took off her clothes,Copy !req

lapping at his plate!Copy !req

took off her clothes,Copy !req

654. (JP) "Discovering the Secret Well'Copy !req

665. Everyone wanted to cut it down,
but my uncle refused.Copy !req
666. He said this tree from Mt. Fuji
had absorbed my aunt's soul.Copy !req
667. The servants whispered it was
due to the tree's high cost,Copy !req
668. but I think my uncle was right.Copy !req
669. You can tell from the cherry blossoms,Copy !req
670. which turned brighter and bloomed longer.Copy !req
671. (JP) "Tell me, Juliette.Copy !req
672. (JP) "Do you wish this impetuous
young knight to save you?Copy !req
673. (JP) "The duchess shook her head resolutely,Copy !req

677. Oh, it's a new face!Copy !req
678. (JP)"Now...Copy !req
679. (J P)... my brave knight.Copy !req
680. (JP) When you see these old scars
and the fresh pink wounds,Copy !req
681. (JP) what do you feel?Copy !req
682. (JP) I pity the poor woman.Copy !req
683. (JP) I wish to lick her and lick her,
caress her and caress her.Copy !req
684. (JP) If you pity her so,Copy !req
685. (JP) why not take her place
and let her whip you?Copy !req
686. (JP) "The duchess raised the whip high
in the air, and then...Copy !req
687. (JP) "And again...Copy !req
688. (JP) "My cock became painfully erect."Copy !req
689. (JP) If she could be yours for ten minutes,Copy !req
690. (JP) what would you give in exchange?Copy !req
691. (JP) Whatever your heart desires.Copy !req
692. (JP) Anything in this whole wide world.Copy !req
693. (JP) "Once the duke untied me,Copy !req
694. (JP) "I sat on the chair, pulled her to me,Copy !req
695. (JP) "and slid my cock into her cunt.Copy !req

697. (JP) "As I felt the duke approach from behind,Copy !req
698. (JP) "a rope slithered around my neck.Copy !req
699. (JP) "The duke slowly tightened the rope.Copy !req

currents of her hair.Copy !req

707. (JP) "Please let me dieCopy !req

709. (JP) "In this suffocating pain."Copy !req
710. (JP) Is it Sade?Copy !req
711. (JP) It's Sade-esque.Copy !req
712. (JP) Believed to be the same Japanese man
who wrote 'The Lizard Skin'.Copy !req
713. (JP) Acquired from a Japanese sailor on
a ship from Hamburg.Copy !req
714. (JP) Can you imagine my joy when,Copy !req
715. (JP) after such a journey, it sat on
my shelf with its brothers?Copy !req
716. (JP) These are the babes to whom
I feel the most affection.Copy !req
717. (JP) It used to contain an elaborate
monochrome woodcut illustration,Copy !req
718. (JP) but as you can see...Copy !req
719. (JP) So unfortunate.Copy !req
720. (JP) If that were intact,
you could've named your price.Copy !req
721. (JP) The author felt words alone
could not fully describe the positions,Copy !req
722. (JP) and so included an illustration.Copy !req
723. (JP) In that regard,
before we start the bidding.Copy !req
724. (JP) Hideko!Copy !req
725. 'Pain is a Garment'Copy !req
726. Beautiful!Copy !req
727. (JP) See you again.Copy !req
728. (JP) Yes, thank you.Copy !req
729. (JP) Today's reading was outstanding.Copy !req
730. (JP) Yes, thank you.Copy !req
731. (JP) Especially the puppet!Copy !req
732. (JP) You are of noble birth,Copy !req
733. (JP) yet you engage in
the lowly work of copying paintings.Copy !req
734. (JP) There was a time whenCopy !req
735. (JP) I dissipated my wit
and skills on gambling.Copy !req
736. (JP) Imagine the torment of having
so many women make advances on me,Copy !req
737. (JP) when I couldn't afford to buy them
a glass of Burgundy.Copy !req
738. (JP) Do the women here advance on you?Copy !req
739. (JP) I look at women's eyes.Copy !req
740. (JP) Only the eyes.Copy !req
741. (JP) They turn their gaze away,Copy !req
742. (JP) but then they always look back.Copy !req
743. (JP) If I were to slide under
someone's covers tonight,Copy !req
744. (JP) only one woman here would refuse me.Copy !req
745. (JP) Does that include Mrs. Sasaki?Copy !req
746. (JP) Is she not your former wife?Copy !req
747. (JP) You left her to marry a Japanese woman.Copy !req
748. (JP) But the servants tell me
you still share a bed with her.Copy !req
749. (JP) You went so far as to abandon your wife,Copy !req
750. (JP) why this urge to become Japanese?Copy !req
751. (JP) Because Korea is uglyCopy !req
752. (JP) and Japan is beautiful.Copy !req
753. (JP) Some Japanese say Japan is ugly,Copy !req
754. (JP) and Korea is beautiful.Copy !req
755. (JP) Beauty is cruel by nature.Copy !req
756. (JP) Korea is soft, slow, dull,
and therefore hopeless.Copy !req
757. (JP) Does it include Mrs. Sasaki?Copy !req
758. (JP) If I gave her the right signal,Copy !req
759. (JP) she'd knock on my door
without her underwear.Copy !req
760. (J P) My thoughts exactly.Copy !req
761. (JP) Then who is it?Copy !req
762. (JP) The one who would deny you?Copy !req
763. (JP) I heard you own the highest qualityCopy !req
764. (JP) antique bookmaking tools of East and West,Copy !req
765. (JP) but I don't see them here?Copy !req
766. (JP) Who would deny you?Copy !req
767. (JP) I met Hidek0's eyes by chance,
but she didn't look away.Copy !req
768. (JP) Indeed it was I who shifted my gaze.Copy !req
769. (JP) Will she make an appearance in
your lewd dreams tonight?Copy !req
770. (JP) Even if honoured with such a visit,Copy !req
771. (JP) I don't think I could consummate.Copy !req
772. (JP) Because her body would be
as cold as waterfowl.Copy !req
773. (JP) The result of long training.Copy !req
774. (JP) I heard you are engaged to her.Copy !req
775. (JP) If I'm not mistaken,
you are yet to have intercourse?Copy !req
776. (JP) Her eyes have no desire.Copy !req
777. (JP) it means her soul is dead inside.Copy !req
778. (JP) You should go easy on her training,Copy !req
779. (JP) unless you enjoy making love to a corpse.Copy !req
780. (JP) My particular way of possessing beauty.Copy !req
781. (JP) Hideko too must have
received painting lessons?Copy !req
782. (JP) I was too occupied teaching her
to read with correct diction.Copy !req
783. (JP) Dear me!Copy !req
784. (JP) In England, where I studied,Copy !req
785. (JP) all ladies were expected to produce
vibrant colour and graceful lines,Copy !req
786. (JP) even in the less noble families.Copy !req
787. (JP) A phone call, sir.Copy !req
788. (JP) At this hour?Copy !req
789. (JP) It's the Iwamura Bookstore.Copy !req
790. (JP) Is that so?Copy !req
791. (JP) Excuse me a moment.Copy !req
792. (JP) You are mesmerising.Copy !req
793. (JP) Men use the word "mesmerising"Copy !req
794. (JP) when they wish to touch a lady's breasts.Copy !req
795. (JP) I'm familiar with Western
conversational etiquette.Copy !req
796. (JP) I do a bit of reading, you know.Copy !req
797. (JP) There was no calculation in what I said.Copy !req
798. (JP) It was a reflex, like pulling
one's hand from a flame.Copy !req
799. (JP) I'm no flame.Copy !req
800. (JP) I'm cold as waterfowl, your Lordship.Copy !req
801. (JP) He will return soon.Copy !req
802. (JP) Mr. Lwamura only called
with a frivolous inquiry,Copy !req
803. (JP) at my request.Copy !req
804. (JP) There's an issue regarding
your future you should know.Copy !req
805. (JP) I'll wait by the stone lamp at midnight.Copy !req
806. (JP) That Iwamura is a real fool.Copy !req
807. (JP) My maid is asleep in the room next door.Copy !req
808. (JP) I don't fancy being in
scandalous rumours with you.Copy !req
809. (JP) I saw Junko go to the servants'
quarters with her pillow.Copy !req
810. (JP) Consider your reputation as a nobleman.Copy !req
811. (JP) I'm no nobleman.Copy !req
812. (JP) I'm not even Japanese.Copy !req
813. Think it was easy for a Korean farmhand's son
to reach here?Copy !req
814. Fifteen hard years in Japan
before hearing about you.Copy !req
815. Another three years to prepare.Copy !req
816. I studied bookmaking
and learned to paint forgeries.Copy !req
817. All so that I could meet you.Copy !req
818. To seduce and marry you,Copy !req
819. to possess your father's inheritance,Copy !req
820. and then probably to get rid of you.Copy !req
821. But I knew as soon as I met you.Copy !req
822. For a man to seduce you would be...Copy !req
823. impossible.Copy !req
824. So in place of seduction,
I decided to propose a deal.Copy !req
825. Most marriages are prison,
but this one will free you.Copy !req
826. I'll rescue you from here,Copy !req
827. take you far away, and give you freedom.Copy !req
828. Of course, we'll split the money.Copy !req
829. Nonsense.Copy !req
830. Marrying an old man with a black tongue
at your tender age makes sense?Copy !req
831. I won't marry anyone.Copy !req
832. What have you in mind?Copy !req
833. That's not proper.Copy !req
