kylästä kylään. Nyt on aika toinen. Kotipolton kirkkaalla nesteellä oli
katkeruutensa ohella se hyvä puoli, että se teki miehet hartaiksi,
tehtaan viina vie tavallisesti tappeluun tai tylsään uneen, ja useimmin
se horastaankin suihin niin himokkaalla kiireellä, ettei malteta oikeata
hetkeä odottaakaan.
— Siunatkoon tuota hullua, parahti vanha täti, joka uunin luota oli
katseillaan seurannut haarikan kulkua ja tyhjentymistä, ennättämättä
kuitenkaan hätiin. — Laittakoon kerran jumala kurkkuusi niin tulisen
tuskan ja polttavan janon, että siihen henkesi heität, sinä humalainen
roikale.
— Pyh, kas mun tätä! Kas tätiä nyt, kuinka äityy! Kanaat pinnalla
purjehtii, ja tätä ei saisi viskata pellolle.
— Sinä vanha vakava haarikka, sanoi hän, sinä olet palvellut tätä
taloa melkein minun muistinikäni, ja jouduitpa kunniasijalle nyt vielä
ennen lahoomistasi. Ensi kerran kastuvat laitasi oikealla
herrastavaralla, oikealla tehtaan panoksella. Kotoisesta oluesta olet
kyllä ennen parempina aikoina täyttynyt niin monta kertaa, että jos
ne kaikki yht’aikaa suustasi valuttaisit, niin hukkuisi koko tämä Pellon
kylä. Tämä on isävainajani tekemä, tämä haarikka. Minä muistan,
miehet, sen syntymisen vielä niinkuin unennäköä. Tuossa keskellä
pihaa, niitten kahden suuren kiven välissä kasvoi kataja,
paksutyvinen, aika rahnikko. Mutta kun äiti vainaja siitä usein taitteli
oksia astiain haudevesiin, alkoi se vähitellen kuivua. Silloin kaatoi
isäukko sen kokonaan ja teki astioiksi, ja siitä syntyi tämä
haarikkakin. Ja tietäkääs mitä, ensi kerran koeteltiin tämän pitävyyttä
kirkkaalla viinalla, oikealla kotipoltolla, ja hyvin se piti. Meillä
rakennettiin silloin uutta aittariviä, ja juuri kun isä oli saanut
kiristetyksi vanteet haarikkaan, saivat rakennusmiehetkin harjahirren
aitan päälle. No mitä muuta, isä täyttää haarikan viinalla ja nousee
aitan harjalle. Siellä se tyhjennettiin harjakaisiksi neljään pekkaan,
eikä ainoakaan miehistä pudonnut maahan. Ne oli poikia ne! Mutta
kuinka ollakaan, isä innostui hakemaan lisää, ja silloin yritti Tiilon
Otto, joka oli hiukan heikompi muita, poksahtaa alakertaan, vaan isä
ennätti tarttua housujen takapuoleen kiinni ja nosti miehen takaisin
niinkuin kintaan. — 'Pysy täällä vaan miesten joukossa, mitä siellä
alahalla vielä teet’, äyhähti hän. Ne oli miehiä! Minä istuin kivellä ja
katselin, ja ajattelin vaan sitä aikaa, jolloin saisin housut jalkaani. —
Mutta mitä kello on, joko tulee kaksitoista? huusi hän samassa
hätäisesti, aivan kuin olisi unohtanut jonkun tärkeän asian, ja
ponnahti kiivaasti seisaalleen. — Kyllähän meillä tässä on iloa ja
valoa kuin Heikkilän häissä, mutta ajan juoksusta on yhtäkaikki
pidettävä tarkka vaari tällä tärkeällä hetkellä. Ei sovi laiminlyödä
laillisten oikeuksien vastaan ottamista kellonlyönnillä, ettei paha
ennättäisi pistää sorkkaansa väliin. Onko jo kaksitoista?
— Vai niin, no sehän on eri asia, mistä pappi lehmän saa. Mutta
millä tavalla sitä tämän paremmin muutetaan? Nythän se on jo tässä
talossa. Huoneet ovat kunnossa, hevoset tallissa, olutta lattiakuoppa
puolillaan ja tässä kuskipoikia vaikka viiteen kyytiin.
— En minä ainakaan.
— Enkä minäkään.
— Joko lähdetään?
II
— Jokohan!
Heikki tuli ylähältä ja vakuutti, ettei mitään kuulu eikä näy, vaan
että kuoppa siellä jo on valmis.
