At the beginning of this novel, one character requests a shot of vitamin B to ward off sluggishness, and receives a phone call which is overheard by the gossipy O-haru.

Mrs. Itani suggests a series of marriage prospects for another of the main characters, who is finally engaged to Mimaki at the end of the novel.
