Segaki (2012)
“He was beside himself. But at last he lurched through the gate of his brother’s house and leaned against its inner pillars.
The dog had been snuffling in the shrubbery. It saw him and bounded joyously forward. But some instinct made him preserve that robe, even though it seemed to stifle him. He beat the dog down, and it ran away disappointed and yelping. Then, changing its mind, it trotted sedately behind him, for it had clearly missed him so much that it did not care how he behaved, given he was there.
Yasumaro was pacing up and down the veranda, with vast agitation. When he saw his brother, he clattered down the steps, across the garden, and then helped him into the house. He seemed shocked to see the robe, but held his brother gently, guiding him and calling out for the girl to prepare something hot, as he led him up the veranda to his own room.
Muchaku was cut off from sympathy by exhaustion, fear, and a touch of fever, but managed to tumble his story out.
