The Book of Deceive
Zempachi, not used to anything but flattery and coaxing, flew into a violent rage at this; and while he was thinking how he would revenge himself upon anyone who might be sent to ask for the lost ball, Tsunéhei came in, and said to one of Zempachi's servants--
“I am sorry to say that in my lord's absence I took his football, and, in trying to play with it, clumsily kicked it over your wall. I beg you to excuse my carelessness, and to be so good as to give me back the ball.”
The servant went in and repeated this to Zempachi, who worked himself up into a great rage, and ordered Tsunéhei to be brought before him, and said-
“Here, fellow, is your name Tsunéhei?”
