我々は夜に入つて家へ歸りました。其翌日は日曜でしたから、私は終日室の中に閉ぢ籠つてゐました。月曜になつて、學校へ出ると、私は朝つぱらさう／＼級友の一人から調戲はれました。何時妻を迎へたのかと云つてわざとらしく聞かれるのです。それから私の細君は非常に美人だといつて賞めるのです。私は三人連で日本橋へ出掛けた所を、其男に何處かで見られたものと見えます。
translation
"We returned home at night." The next day was Sunday, so I was locked up in my room all day. On Monday, when I left for school, I was trained by one of my classmates in the morning. He asked me deliberately when I picked up my wife. Also, my wife is often praised for being very beautiful. The three of us went out to Nihonbashi, and I think he saw me somewhere.
