Mutta niinkauvan, kun hän jaksoi istua, sai rohdin kuontalokin
kulkea hänen koukistuneitten sormiensa läpi rullalle ja sitä tietä ne
menivät pappilan ruustinnan karvamattolangatkin. —
Pettymyksiä.

"Siitä olen jo kauvan ollut selvillä, isä. Kun poikasena kerran tein
huvihuoneen piirustukset, sanoit sinä että näyttää siltä kun Eskolla
olisi tulevaisuutta tällä alalla ja sitä minulla varmasti onkin! Saat
uskoa, isä, että minä kerran vien arkkitehtuuriamme loistavan
askeleen eteenpäin."
"Mutta minuthan sinä aivan syrjäytät, isä", muistutti Elli "vai eikö
sinua ollenkaan huvita tietää miksi minä aijon?
"Kiitä Luojaa, lapseni, että elät ajassa, joka sallii sinun nauttia työsi
hedelmiä", lausui äiti. "Minun nuoruudessani saimme tyytyä — ah
emmehän kaikkea uskaltaneet uneksiakaan — mitä te nyt saatte
todellisuudessa omistaa ja nauttia…"
"Et sinä toki henno särkeä Ellin tulevaisuutta", sanoi viimein äiti
pyytävän hellästi niinkuin ainakin.
"Ei isä, kyllä sinulta pitää riittää rahoja Ellillekin, Kaarlon ja minun
on elettävä sitä myöten. Muuten minäkin olen aivan onneton",
lämpeni Esko. "Sehän olisi muuten samaa, kuin jos riistettäisiin Elliltä
vaatteet meille pojille — ja hän työnnettäisiin alastomana pakkaseen!
Se ei saa tapahtua, isä!" —
