Memoirs of a Geisha- Chapter 10

That was very random that Granny died. There was no showing of this coming or anything and how Chiyo found her dead was a little repulsive. She first noticed it by the smell coming out of her room, which is gross beyond so many levels. I cannot believe she died from plugging in the heater thing, that is a terrible way to go. She practically fried to death, at least that explains the smell. The funeral they had for her was very different from how we have funerals around here. They left Granny around for a very long time at least three weeks, while they cleaned the house for guess to come and visit. The whole town practically came to say their condolences. That would just be very weird and pretty much unnecessary. I felt bad for Chiyo when she ran into Mameha. I think Chiyo did react a little too fast though, like the girl would have even remembered it was Chiyo that ruined her kimono. She jumped to conclusion too fast and felt way too guilty. It seems though that Mameha really noticed Chiyo though, which is very strange, I bet this is not the last time we will hear from Mameha. It was also very intriguing how Mameha invited Chiyo to come visit and talk to her. I would really like to know what that girl is up to I can tell she has something up her sleeve.

We later learn that "up her sleeve" entails revenge against hatsumoto. A perfect build and way to infiltrate the Geisha house.

This turns out to help both parties. I was like you, at first I didn't know what to believe, but then later we see the true motivation.
