* There is a scene in the book where apprentice Chiyo gets the beat of Hatsumomo. While at the same party, Hatsumomo starts to snark at Chiyo finishing with a remark about Chiyo's youth "You don't even have any hair yet" (the hair Hatsumomo referring to being pubic hair), Chiyo simply responds with "Oh I do, and plenty of it" before patting her head, making the man Hastumomo's entertaining (and trying to tear Chiyo down in front of) laugh and remark on Chiyo's cleverness.

* The book goes into detail about Hatsumomo's downfall. After how horrible Hatsumomo has been to Sayuri (and everyone else for that matter), seeing karma finally cath up with her is rather satisfying. The best part is, it really doesn't take much considering how much Hatsumomo isolated herself from everyone by being so abusive so she has no one who will take her side. The only reason Mother tolerated her was that she was the main breadwinner. But when she lost this status as Sayuri became more popular, she has no one. Sayuri even mentions that after Mother kicked her out when she bit a prominent kabuki actor, most okiya would've been glad to take her since she was still very successful if not for her cruel reputation.
