「そんな弱い事を仰しやつちや不可せんよ。今に癒つたら東京へ遊びに入らつしやる筈ぢやありませんか。御母さんと一所に。今度入らつしやると屹度吃驚しますよ、變つてゐるんで。電車の新らしい線路丈でも大變増えてゐますからね。電車が通るやうになれば自然町並も變るし、その上に市區改正もあるし、東京が凝としてゐる時は、まあ二六時中一分もないと云つて可い位です」
translation
"You shouldn't say such weak things. If you're healed now, won't you go to Tokyo to play? With your mother? If you go in again, you'll be surprised. Even the length of the new train tracks has increased significantly.When the trains start running, the townscape will naturally change, and on top of that, there will also be changes to the city districts, and Tokyo will become more stiff. As for the time, well, you could say it's less than a minute out of 26 hours."
