Nakamura:
What are you really afraid of, Miss Webster? You don't think it would enter Major Gruver's mind to marry a Japanese girl? Eileen Webster:
I don't know. Nakamura:
Then permit me to reassure you. I think Major Gruver is brave, but, uh, not so brave enough to face the censure that would result from such a marriage. As for our famous, honored Hana-ogi, there are many Japanese - most of them, in fact - who look upon marriage to an Occidental with as much distaste as your people do to one of us. Nakamura:
[continues]
I do not feel that way, but then I have had the privilege of traveling in your country and knowing some great people there. And I am especially conscious at this moment that beauty is not confined to any one race
