Help! Who is Mr. H?

<p>Im trying to find the Translator passage. So far no luck using Gem. Does anyone remember Mr. H’s name? This is really driving me crazy!!</p>

<p>Full credit to Smile99! Mr. H is Mr. Hosokawa and the name of his multilingual translator is Gen (not Gem). Story if from the novel Bel Canto by Ann Patchett! We CCers always find our passage!</p>
