"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

askeleen eteenpäin."

vaatteet meille pojille — ja hän työnnettäisiin alastomana pakkaseen!
Se ei saa tapahtua, isä!" —
