Gimpei learned from the passbook that the woman's name was Miyako Mizuki If he had had no intention of taking the money and had only been lured on by her strange appeal, he ought suurely to have sent the money and passbook back to her. But as it was, he couldn't be expected to return them. Just as he had followed the woman, so the money followed him, like a living being with a mind of its own. It was the first time Gimpei had stolen money. Or rather, not that he had stolen it, but that the money had intimidated him, refusing to go away.
