Episode 1, Before Reading 1–2: Look at the title and the pictures. How are they related? Judging from their appearance, what can you tell about the women standing arm in arm in the second picture?

The title and the pictures are related because they introduce the characters and events of the episode. The two women look as if they belong to different social classes: one appears to be a poor flower girl, while the other is a well-dressed woman. They may be related or may simply be walking together.
