My
hands
must

in
case
sudden
activity

Yes
sir

Half
an
hour
later
,
at
nine
,
a
message
arrived
from
the
highest
-
ranking
Imperial
Government
official
on
the
West
Coast
,
the
Japanese
Ambassador
to
the
Pacific
States
of
America
,
the
Honorable
Baron
L
.
B
.
Kaelemakule
.
The
Foreign
Office
had
called
an
extraordinary
session
at
the
embassy
building
on
Sutter
Street
,
and
each
Trade
Mission
was
to
send
a
highly
placed
personage
to
attend
.
In
this
case
,
it
meant
Mr
.
Tagomi
himself
.
There
was
no
time
to
change
clothes
.
Mr
.
Tagomi
hurried
to
the
express
elevator
,
descended
to
the
ground
floor
,
and
a
moment
later
was
on
his
way
by
Mission
limousine
,
a
black
1940
Cadillac
driven
by
an
experienced
uniformed
Chinese
chauffeur
.
At
the
embassy
building
he
found
other
dignitaries
’
cars
parked
roundabout
,
a
dozen
in
all
.
Highly
placed
worthies
,
some
of
whom
he
knew
,
some
of
whom
were
strangers
to
him
,
could
be
seen
ascending
the
wide
steps
of
the
embassy
building
,
filing
on
inside
.
Mr
.
Tagomi
’
s
chauffeur
held
the
door
open
,
and
he
stepped
out
quickly
,
gripping
his
briefcase
,
it
was
empty
,
because
he
had
no
papers
to
bring
—
but
it
was
essential
to
avoid
appearance
of
being
mere
spectator
.
He
strode
up
the
steps
in
a
manner
suggesting
a
vital
role
in
the
happenings
,
although
actually
he
had
not
even
been
told
what
this
meeting
would
cover
.
Small
knots
of
personages
had
gathered
;
murmured
discussions
in
the
lobby
.
Mr
.
Tagomi
joined
several
individuals
whom
he
knew
,
nodding
his
head
and
looking
—
with
them
—
solemn
.
An
embassy
employee
appeared
presently
and
directed
them
into
a
large
hall
.
Chairs
setup
,
folding
type
.
All
persons
filed
in
,
seated
themselves
silently
except
for
coughing
and
shuffling
.
Talk
had
ceased
.
Toward
the
front
a
gentleman
with
handful
of
papers
,
making
way
up
to
slightly
raised
table
.
