昭和二年頃の十月の末だったっけ……
足音高くブリッジに登って行った俺は、船長(おやじ)の背後でワザと足音高く立停まった。
「おはよう……」と声をかけたがは見向きもしない。何しろ船長仲間でも指折の変人だからね。何か一心に考えていたらしい。俺は右手に提げた黄色い、四角い紙包を船長の鼻の先にブラ下げてキリキリと回転さした。
「御註文のチベット紅茶です。やッと探し出したんです」
船長(おやじ)はやっとびっくりしたらしく首を縮めた。無言のまま六尺豊かの長身をニューとこっちへ向けて紅茶を受取った。

ちえ子さんは可愛らしい児でしたが、勉強がきらいで遊んでばかりいるので、学校を何べんも落第しました。そしてお父さんやお母さんに叱られるごとに、「ああ、嫌だ嫌だ。どうかして勉強しないで学校がよく出来る工夫は無いかしらん」と、そればかり考えておりました。
ある日、どうしてもしなくてはならぬ算術をやっておりましたが、どうしてもわからぬ上にねむくてたまりませんので、大きなあくびを一つしてお庭に出てみると、白い寒椿がたった一つつぼみを開いておりました。ちえ子さんはそれを見ると、「ああ、こんな花になったらいいだろう。学校にも何にも行かずに、花が咲いて人から可愛がられる。ああ、花になりたい」と思いながら、その花に顔を近づけてにおいをかいでみました。

Story
私は嬉しい。「あやかしの鼓」の由来を書いていい時機が来たから……
「あやかし」という名前はこの鼓の胴が世の常の桜やつつじとちがって「綾になった木目を持つ赤がし」で出来ているところからもじったものらしい。同時にこの名称は能楽でいう「妖怪(アヤカシ)」という意味にも通っている。
この鼓はまったく鼓の中の妖怪である。皮も胴もかなり新らしいもののように見えて実は百年ばかり前に出来たものらしいが、これをしかけて打ってみると、ほかの鼓の、あのポンポンという明るい音とはまるで違った、陰気な、余韻の無い……ポ……ポ……ポ……という音を立てる。
この音は今日迄の間に私が知っているだけで六、七人の生命を呪った。しかもその中の四人は大正の時代にいた人間であった。皆この鼓の音を聞いたために死を早めたのである。
これは今の世の中では信ぜられぬことであろう。それ等の呪われた人々の中で、最近に問題になった三人の変死の模様を取り調べた人々が、その犯人を私――音丸久弥と認めたのは無理もないことである。私はその最後の一人として生き残っているのだから……
私はお願いする。私が死んだ後にどなたでもよろしいからこの遺書を世間に発表していただきたい。当世の学問をした人は或は笑われるかも知れぬが、しかし……
楽器というものの音が、どんなに深く人の心を捉えるFailed to add items

Story
ある国にオシャベリ姫というお姫さまがありました。生れ付きおしゃべりで、朝から晩まで何かしらシャベッていないと気もちがわるく、きいてやる人がいないと大層御機嫌がわるいのです。
ある朝、オシャベリ姫は両親の王様とお妃様におしゃべりを初めました。
「お父様お母様、昨夜は大変でしたのよ。あたしがひとりで寝ていますと、黒ん坊が寝床のところへ来まして、わたしに短刀をつきつけてきたのです」
「それから、二人の女中が機織室で糸を紡いでたから中の様子を見ますと、壁に一列ずつ沢山の蜘蛛がズラリと並んでいるのです」
王様はお驚きになりましたが、どちらも夢の話だと分かると、王様は大層腹をお立てになりました。
「この馬鹿姫め。お前みたようなよけいな事をオシャベリする奴はいない。そんなことをオシャベリしたら石の牢屋へ入れてしまうぞ」
「いいえ。これからが本当なのです。今までのは今度の本当におもしろいお話をするためにお話ししたのです」
そうしてオシャベリ姫は又お話を初めました。
「女中に、今お話しした二つの夢のお話しをしてきかせました。二人の云うことには、何でも短刀と蜘蛛の夢を見るといいお婿さんが来ると、みんなが云うのだそうです。けれども、夢を見たことが相手のお婿さんにわかるとダメになるのだそうです。ですから女中は私に、そのFailed to add items

Story
五郎君はお菓子が好きでしようがありませんでした。御飯も何もたべずにお菓子ばかりたべているので、お父様やお母様は大層心配をして、いくら五郎さんが泣いてもお菓子を遣らない事にしました。
お父様とお母様がお出かけになったある日のこと。兄さん夫婦から「五郎殿へ」と書いた郵便が届きました。鼻を当てかいでみると、中から甘い甘いにおいがしました。
五郎さんはもう夢中になって開いて見ると、それは思った通りお菓子で、ドロップ、ミンツ、キャラメル、チョコレート、ウエファース、ワッフル、ドーナツ、スポンジ、ローリング、ボンボン、そのほかいろいろ、ある事ある事……。一箱ペロリと食べてしまった五郎さんは、そのまま何喰わぬ顔で蒲団にもぐり込んでしまいました。
やがて何だか恐ろしく苦しくなって来ましたので、どうしたのかと眼を開いて見ますと、最前喰べたお菓子連中が、めいめい赤や青や紫や黄色や又は金銀の着物を着て、男や女の役者姿になって大勢いならんでいるのがはっきりと見えました。

「草川の旦那さん。大変です。起きて下さい。モシモシ。起きて下さい。私は深良一知(ふからいっち)です」
暑い暑い七月の末の或る早朝であった。山奥の谷郷村駐在所の国道に面したホコリだらけの硝子戸をケタタマシク揺ぶりながら、一人の青年が叫んだ。
それは見るからにここいらの貧乏百姓の児と感じの違った、インテリじみた色の白い鼻筋のスッキリとした美しい青年であった。慌てて走って来たものと見えて、手拭浴衣の寝巻に帯も締めない素跣足が、灰色の土埃にまみれている。……と……駐在所の入口になっている硝子戸が内側からガタガタと開いて、色の黒い、人相の悪い顔に、無精鬚をぼうぼうと生した、越中ふんどし一つの逞ましい小男が半身を現わした。
「どうしたんか」
「アッ。草川の旦那さん」
草川巡査はねむそうな眼をコスリコスリ青年の顔を見直した。
「何だ。一知じゃないかお前は……」

「何……殺されている? お前の両親が……」

King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....
