Day 3
I picked up 車井戸はなぜ軋る again from the first letter of 鶴代. There were a lot of names from the books, so I almost forgot who is whom in her letter. It has also been a while since last time I read it. I find 横溝正史’s 背景説明 pretty long before going to the exciting part. So I don’t find it very interesting so far.
鶴代は丁寧な言い方で手紙を書いていますので、敬語の勉強にもなります。
あらすじ:小野宇一郎 is trying to get the 屏風from 鶴代’s home, but 鶴>代’s grandmother rejected his request. It seems 小野 is not aware of the inflation, or he’s just being rude.
Words of the day:
屏風: びょうぶ
葛の葉:くずのは。It seems to be related to the story of 安倍晴明. Looking at its wiki, a lot of stories mentioned 葛の葉.
手許=手元
筆が脇道に逸れたまま:Diverted from the main story
