私より 英語の出来る 教え子が何人も いますから 英語を教えるという 配慮は要りません。
宜しく お願いします。

Dear Professor Yamaguchi,
Thank you for your kind message and information regarding a new "corner" for me.

At first, I didn't quite understand what you meant by a "new section". I did not realize Mr. Anabuki had created my own personal corner!! He is so very kind!

I saw a HP article in which Mr. Anabuki had created a very cute cartoon character for me that had suddenly changed clothes into a brown kimono!! But I didn't know this was also a "new corner"! Thank you very much, Prof.Yamaguchi, for introducing me into this very active homepage full of interesting characters!

At first, I thought, "Where is my corner?" I am not accustomed to Internet surfing and had been reading only the 3 topics at the top of the HP or finding other articles by linking from these 3.

So I had no idea where "my corner" was located and had to explore the HP a bit before finding it. Now, I've finally found it! What a surprise!

Also, to be honest with you, I don't know how to read,
「小咄」 ??? 色々と「漢字変換モード」で読み方を探しているのですが、まだ見つからないのです。「読み方」が分かってから、意味を調べていますので、
I'm not sure yet, but does it mean something like,
「こばなし」?
Is my character
> a 「小咄を言う人」?

Also、 「小咄を言う人」は、wears brown kimonos なのですか?
I thought that the red dress looked "younger" and "sexier" but I suppose a brown kimono is OK too and, well, 年齢を考えますと、more becoming of my age!!
(But don't you think 鉢姫's kimono is more colorful and pretty? However, I am NOT complaining! The brown kimono is fine!)

Thank you so much, Professor Yamaguchi!
大変遅くなりましたが、穴吹様、本当にありがとうございました。
7th Heaven HPの皆さま、これからもどうぞよろしくお願い申し上げます。
Always,
Janet

ジャネットさま
茶色の着物は、小咄を職業的に語る人、日本では咄家(はなしか)、または落語家と呼ばれる人のユニホームです。
青い布きれは、手ぬぐい。左手に持っているのは扇子で、いずれも落語家の必携品。
野球の選手における、バットとグローブのようなものです。
