Se tulikin!
Hän, pilkattu, jolle jokainen tyttö käänsi selkänsä, hän voi nyt
käsikädessä mennä tanssiin kaunokaisista kauneimman kanssa.
Herra Lorenz Ratolla oli kolme tytärtä, joista vanhin oli Lotta,
"valakaksi" haukuttu, koska hänen hiuksensa, kulmakarvansa ja
silmäripsensä oli vaaleat kuin valkein pellava. Aikaisemmin
haukuttiin häntä "kaniiniksi"; uuden pilkkanimen sai hän vasta siihen
aikaan, jolloin Martti uudessa kasteessa nimitettiin "papurikoksi".
Lotta sai vähemmän pilkkaa kärsiä kuin punatäplä-poskinen
sepänkisälli, kumminkin oli hän murheellisempi kuin Martti, koska
luonto oli hänet erittäin herkällä sydämellä siunannut tai — kironnut.
Hän voi, ensikerran kuultuaan tämän pilkkanimen, itkeä koko päivän.
Hän ei kuvitellut itselleen, että hyvä luontoäiti olisi antanut hänelle
kauneuden lahjoja; kuitenkaan ei se olisi häntä loukannut, jos hänet
olisi jätetty rauhaan. Kun kaikki häntä hylkivät, karttoi hän eläviä ja
pakeni kuolleiden asuntoon, villipensaikon ympyröimään
kirkkotarhaan, missä matalien hautakumpujen välissä kohosivat
akasiapuut, joiden varjossa hänen oli tapana kävellä. Hämärähetkinä
lauleli hän kaihomielisiä lauluja; kun syksy lähestyi, niin sitoi hän
akasian kirjavista kukista seppeleen ja koristi sillä sen haudan
puuristin, jossa hänen äitinsä lepäsi.
"Oi", valitteli hän usein huoaten, "miksi ei ole sydämeni tuon kukan
kaltainen! Kuihdu kuin tämä, sinuahan ei kukaan tarvitse! Ja
kuitenkin — miten voisin minä rakastaa!"
*****
Martti täytti kaksikolmatta vuotta, kun hänen enonsa kuoli; hän peri
pajan ja tuli mestariksi. Vaikkakaan ei vainajan ja hänen sisarensa
pojan välillä vallinnut mikään sydämellinen suhde, suri poika
kuitenkin vilpittömästi miehen kuolemaa, miehen, joka oli ollut hänen
ainoa hyväntekijänsä.
"Etkö mitään! — Toisinaanhan voit puhua niin paljon, ettei siitä tule
loppuakaan."
"Miksi et nyt?"
Papurikko ja valakka.
"Arvaas!"
"En voi arvata."
"Miksi en kuuntelisi?"
"Älä puhu yhä tuota, vaan sitä, mikä todella kuuluu tähän."
"Se on totta!"
"Minä?"
"Sinä!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hukka minut periköön, jos olen puhunut pilaa", sanoi Martti, joka
oli selityksensä aikana noussut ylös ja käveli rauhatonna ympärinsä,
jääden äkkiä seisomaan.
"Mitä?"
*****
Voimakas kuin ruumiinsakin oli myös Martin sielu, tätä sai hän
kiittää siitä, että oli toipunut myrkystä, jota Julia Biro oli vuodattanut
hänen elonsa maljaan. Tosin valtasi hänet ensi päivinä
epäonnistuneen kosinnan jälkeen ollessaan työssä usein ajatus: eikö
olisi parempi, jos raudan sijasta asettaisit pääkallosi alasimelle ja
antaisit lyödä siihen raskaimmalla vasaralla? — Lyönti vaan ja —
kaikki olisi ohi!
"Oletteko jo lopussa?"
"Sen saat kyllä nähdä, tai paremmin sanottu, et saa nähdä, sillä
paiskaan tämän pullon kasvojasi vasten."
"Todellakin!"
"Kyllä!"
"Se ei ollut mikään uni, vaan kauhea todellisuus. — Kuka löi sinut
maahan?"
"Martti!"
"Laputa tiehesi!"
"Älähän toki itke! Eihän ollut tarkoitus niin paha. Enhän tiedä
oikein mitä puhunkaan. Tulehan, ole hyvä, auta minua jaloilleni."
Martti toipui…
"Mutta ethän toki saa tuolla tavoin juosta pois. Vai onko sinullakin
ikävä minun luonani?"
"Eihän toki! — Mutta —"
"Muuten vaan!"
"Miksi?"
