Rakastuneet menivät sivuhuoneeseen, saadakseen olla kahden
kesken. Katri tuli puhumaan kihlauksesta ja häävalmistuksista. Minä
sanoin, että se oli liian varhaista, ja käskin hänen mennä suohon.
Hän ei kuitenkaan mennyt pitemmälle kuin keittiöön.
"No, jos joskus otin pikku muiskun, tein sen siksi, että sinun teki
niin kovin mielesi."
"Ohoo, isäseni! Vai teki minun mieleni! Tämä menee liian pitkälle!"
soimasi Katri ja antoi nuorille rohkaisevia silmäniskuja aivan kuin
olisi sanonut: muiskailkaa te vaan, ei siitä huulet kulu!
Tyttö nauroi.
Madonna ja lapsi.
Taaskin oli pari onnellista vuotta vierinyt. Meillä oli sillävälin ollut
sanomalehdessä ilmoitus:
"SYNTYNYT.
Me istuimme kauan. Sydämeni oli niin täysi, että oli vaikea olla
puhumatta.
"Miten olisi minun käynyt, ellet sinä olisi ollut minua tukemassa,
Katri! Sinua minun tulee kiittää kaikesta."
Hän vastasi:
Sitte hän meni ja toi sylyksen puita ja latoi pesään. Olimme siksi
vanhanaikaisia, että pidimme runollista, räiskyvää takkavalkeata
kaikkia kehuttuja keskuslämmityslaitoksia parempana.
Nuorin lapsi heräsi. Hän otti pienokaisen syliinsä, siirsi tuolin takan
ääreen ja istui antaen loimottavan pystyvalkean lämmittää lasta.
Ilta oli pimennyt. Kadulla syttyi lyhty toisensa perästä. Meren pinta
välkehti iltaruskon sammuvassa hohteessa, ulapalla kynti laiva
aaltoja kymmenien tulien tuikkiessa.
Kun taas käännyin ja loin katseeni Katriin, joka istui lapsi sylissä
syrjittäin minuun, näin kuvan, joka monin verroin voitti edellisen.
Siinä oli jotakin niin tutunomaista, kodikasta, elettyä, että minä aivan
hätkähdin ja kysyin itseltäni, missä olin ennen nähnyt samanlaista.
Äkkiä, vaistomaisesti minulta pääsi huudahdus:
"Madonna!"
