:46:00
Why did you have to bring all this up? Besides, Taeko-san's only
visited here twice to enjoy her vacation.
:46:10
You're only embarrassing her by saying this kind of thing out of the
blue.
:46:14
So you're against us, then.
:46:16
That's beside the point. I'm trying to say you should face this kind
of thing realistically.
:46:23
We haven't even asked Toshio about his feelings, anyway, so I wonder
how Ban-chan can come off and say...
:46:27
I can tell right away just by looking at Toshio.
:46:30
Right. Instead of assuming its impossible from the start, like you,
why don't we ask how Taeko-san feels...
:46:39
Taeko-san!
:46:47
Leave her alone.
:46:52
See what I've been saying? You should know better and build up to that
kind of question more slowly.
:46:59
I don't think I was wrong.
:47:20
Becoming a farmer's wife. I never imagined that before...
:47:27
Yet the fact it's possible for me to live in such a manner was enough
to give a strange impression.
:47:35
``If you don't mind...'' Just like in some movie I'd seen before. How
wonderful it would be if I could speak with such an open heart.
:47:45
But I couldn't.
:47:48
My vague belief that I love the country, and my playing at work in the
fields made me have a guilty conscience all at once.
:47:58
I was ashamed of myself, always saying ``what a nice place'' without
knowing hard winters or the reality of farming.
