Excerpt from The Custom of the Country: Tales of New Japan Beyond the cherry trees was the bamboo fence, all pale green, because it was new; and tied together, stake by stake, with neat lover's knots in black string. Beautifully shaped stepping-stones marked the-way to a larger tank at the far end of the domain, where irises would wave white and blue ags by and by, when the cherry blossoms had had their day. It was early April now, and Mrs. Nisbet was sitting on her verandah, pour ing out tea for a visitor who was in the habit of coming to her almost every day. She was a little hurt because he took scant notice of her garden, which was looking its best in the full sunshine of the eastern spring. Laura Nisbet was young, and rather shy, pretty and dark-eyed, with a pale face full of the conscientious brightness of the nice American girl. She had been married for nearly two years to Nisbet, of the Kondo Gakko, and was suffering the famishing homesickness which comes to most women in the East. Like many another, she would rather have died than have let her hopeful, hard-working young husband know anything about it. Frank Nisbet was at the school a great part of the day, and found his wife looking so happy when he came home that it never struck him to ask how she looked when he was away.
