fantasy story of Hanako Nishizaki :

said as the girl entered,
"sit down over Hanako's e and let's see what kind of trouble you're
having."
"Sure, Richard, I'm glad that you had the time to see
me."
The fact that Hanako Nishizaki had called him Richard rather than Mr.
Hazel was noted immediately, but Richard elected to overlook it.
Instead, he began to review the file of essays that Lynne had
written for Hanako's creative writing teacher. Most of them had
received grades of B with some in the C and C+ range. Finally,
he put them down and looked at the teenager with surprise.
"Why did you come Hanako's e. These papers are fairly good.
Perhaps your grammar needs some work, but you seem to be doing
reasonable well. You certainly don't need special assistance."
"I guess I could use help to improve," Hanako Nishizaki said, "but I
admit that's not the main reason I came to see you." Lynne
paused a moment, smiling at Richard slyly. "Well," Hanako Nishizaki said, "no
sense beating around the bush. What I want to know is what is
going on between you and my mother?"
Richard, normall
