Kokoro, by Natsume Soseki (paragraph #1229)

その中に動かずにゐる父の病氣は、たゞ面白くない方へ移つて行くばかりであつた。私は母や伯父と相談して、とう/\兄と妹に電報を打つた。兄からはすぐ行くといふ返事が來た。妹の夫からも立つといふ報知があつた。妹は此前懷妊した時に流産したので、今度こそは癖にならないやうに大事を取らせる積だと、かねて云ひ越した其夫は、妹の代りに自分で出て來るかも知れなかつた。

translation

My father's illness, which remained motionless in the midst of all this, was only going to take a turn for the worse. After consulting with my mother and uncle, I sent a telegram to my brother and sister. I received a reply from my brother that he would be leaving soon. I was informed that my sister's husband would also stand up. My sister had a miscarriage the last time she got pregnant, so the husband, who had long said that this time it would be a good idea to take care of it so that it wouldn't become a habit, might come out on his own instead of my sister. .
