お蓮が本所の横網に囲われたのは、明治二十八年の初冬だった。妾宅は御蔵橋の川に臨んだ、極く手狭な平家だった。ただ庭先から川向うを見ると、今は両国停車場になっている御竹倉一帯の藪や林が、時雨勝な空を遮っていたから、比較的町中らしくない、閑静な眺めには乏しくなかった。が、それだけにまた旦那が来ない夜なぞは寂し過ぎる事も度々あった。「婆や、あれは何の声だろう？」「あれでございますか？ あれは五位鷺でございますよ。」お蓮は眼の悪い傭い婆さんとランプの火を守りながら、気味悪そうにこんな会話を交換する事もないではなかった。
Kolme miestä veneessä（三怪客泛舟记） 立即阅读
Tämän kirjan suurin arvo ei ole sen taiteellisessa esitystavassa eikä laajoissa, hyödyllisissä tiedoissa, joita lukija siitä ammentaa, vaan sen todenperäisyydessä.

George Harris ja Montmorency eivät ole runollisia ihannekuvia, vaan lihasta ja verestä luotuja olentoja — semminkin George, joka painaa kaksitoista puntaa.
