The Baron forces Mameha to have three abortions. Sayuri loves the Chairman (or she thinks she does), while Mameha seems to have no feelings for the Baron. She doesn't seem to care at all when he dies. Moral of the story?
At times petty and unforgiving, he ultimately forgoes any relationship, whether romantic or platonic, with Sayuri when he learns that she slept with a piggish man named Sato, whom Nobu thinks is beneath her.
The Chairman falls in love with Sayuri at that moment because he sees an honest openness in her eyes that is different from the lies and deceit in the rest of the world.
How much did the Baron bid for Sayuri? Crab and the Baron. Dr. Crab wins, if you can call it that, with a record-breaking bid of 11,500 yen, "Much more than, say, a laborer might have earned in a year" (24.8).

Near the novel's conclusion, we once again get a glimpse of Sayuri's unreliability as a narrator. Sayuri implies that she has given birth to the Chairman's son, though she frames this admission as a rumor, for fear of damaging her son's reputation.
A key moment to understanding Sayuri's feelings is when she mistakes the Chairman for Mr. Tanaka, the man who sold her as a geisha. Mr. Tanaka got Sayuri into the business of being a geisha, and she hopes the Chairman will provide her with a way out.
Mameha doesn't have feelings for the Baron, she says that much. But she does feel sadness and regret for abortions he makes her have. At a local shrine, she builds three jizo statues to honor "the three children she'd aborted at the Baron's request" (28.67).
Nobu is offended when Sayuri takes the General as her danna, but he forgives her because she doesn't have a choice. However, she seduces the Minister to drive Nobu away, and he can't forgive that.
The imagery of the Dune Baron bathing in oil was also perplexing, given that it's not in the book, but there's an explanation of sorts. This substance is actually a healing mud bath, which according to Villeneuve was inspired by a dream in which Baron Harkonnen emerges from underneath oily liquid like a hippopotamus.
Hatsumomo is jealous of Chiyo, who also has natural beauty and possesses rare bluish-gray eyes, like the color of rain. So Hatsumomo believes that when Chiyo comes of age, she will be a threat to her own Geisha status, since it would put Nitta in a great position to throw Hatsumomo out.
Pumpkin's big moment is when she betrays Sayuri by bringing the Chairman instead of Nobu to "accidentally" see her have sex with the Minister. Sayuri, as Sayuri is prone to do, feels betrayed without ever once thinking about how Pumpkin feels.
Although never fully elaborated on, the dance on stage that Sayuri performs tells the story of a woman who suspects her husband of infidelity and waits outside in the snow to catch her husband leaving his mistress; unfortunately a blizzard sweeps over the land and she succumbs to the elements.
