ANTTI. Mikä se nyt olisi parempi? Ehkä kuitenkin se kuusi
kuukautta tästä päivästä…!

SIPI. Kirjoittaa sitte sen. Minulle se on ihan yhdentekevä. Tuohon


noin: "kuuden kuukauden kuluttua…"

ANTTI (kirjoittaa tavaillen). "… kuuden… ku… lut… tua…"

SIPI. "… allamerkitystä päivästä."

ANTTI (kuin äsken). "… tystä… västä."

SIPI. Ja sitte, tuota, jos nyt ne brosentit välttämättä pitää olla


meidänkin kesken…

ANTTI. Eihän niitä muiltakaan ottamatta jätetä, niin…

SIPI. Eipä suinkaan. Lain määräämäthän ne on nekin. No,


pannaan ne sitte yhteen pääsumman kanssa, niin pääsee ainakin
niitä tässä erittäin pitemmältä kirjoittamasta.

No käypi.

ANTTI. No — niin. Hitaastihan tämä kynän kuletus käypi.

SIPI. Se tekee sitte (laskee miettien, käsi kasvoillaan)… se


puotirätinki… brosenttineen… niin paljon kuin… Jaa, se tekee
jämttiinsä neljä sataa viisikymmentä markkaa.

ANTTI. Vai tekee se jo niin äi'än?

SIPI. Tässähän se on minulla se tavaralasku mukanani. (Ottaa


sen lompakostaan). Laskee itse, että sen tietää oikeaksi. Kuusi
markkaa sadalta kuudessa kuukaudessa.
ANTTI. Ka, uskonhan minä. Oikein kai se on.

SIPI. Kyllä sen pitäisi olla. No, kirjoittaa tuon jälkeen sitte sen
neljäsataa viisikymmentä. Ensin kirjaimilla.

ANTTI (kuin ennen) "… sataa… kym… mentä."

SIPI. Ja sitte vielä sulkumerkkien väliin numeroilla se sama


summa.

ANTTI. Vai pitää se vielä umeroillakin? [Talonpojissa sanotaan


usein "umero" eikä numero ja nollan nimi on "on." Tekijä.]

SIPI. Kahdestihan se pitää. Nelonen, viitonen ja nolla. Ja sitte iso


ässä ja pikku ämmä, se merkitsee Suomen markkaa.

ANTTI (kuin ennen). Neljä… viisi… on. Ja ässä ja ämmä.


Noinikään.

SIPI. Kas niin. Ja nyt tuon jälkeen, jossa seisoo "maksu saatu", on
lisättävä: "tavarassa."

ANTTI. Niin, niin, tavarassahan se on saatu. (Kirjoittaa:) "…


rassa."

SIPI. Paikan nimi on jo valmiiksi painettu sekin. Nyt vaan aika


tuohon ja nimi alle.

ANTTI (kirjoittaa). Tammikuun… Monesko se nyt onkaan?

SIPI. Kolmastoista se on tänään. Numeroilla vaan ja pikku p


jälkeen sekä vuosiluku.

ANTTI (kirjoittaa). Noin. Ja sitte nimi?


SIPI. Tuohon kolkkaan: Antti Valkeapää, tilallinen.

ANTTI (kirjoitettuaan). Nyt kai se pitäisi olla…?

SIPI (ottaa ja katselee velkakirjaa). Kyllä välttää. Oikein hyvästikin.


(Korjaa kynällä.) Pari i-pistettä vaan on jäänyt panematta.

ANTTI. Vai jäi ne…?

SIPI. Kas niin. Nyt se on tehty ja… (Panee velkakirjan


lompakkoonsa.) Tässä minä nyt paikalla kuittaan tämän
tavaralaskun, niin ei tule kaksinkertaisia. (Kuittaa ja antaa laskun
Antille).

ANTTI. Niin, ka, vainkin. No, hyvin paljon vaan kiitoksia. Onhan se
nyt taas vähän niinkuin helpompikin olla. Ja sukkelaanhan se kävi.

SIPI. Su-u-ukkelaanhan se käypi, kun vaan kirjoittaa osaa.

ANTTI (nauraa hörähtää). Hö-hö! Eipä se nyt äi'ää maksa se


minunkaan osaamiseni (Ottaa paperossilaatikon piirongilta.) Eikös
nyt yksi paperossi…? (Tarjoo.)

SIPI (ottaa). Kiitos! — Unehtui tässä omat mukaan ottamatta.


(Sytyttää.)

ANTTI. Vaan ei ole minulla muita, kuin "komersia."..

SIPI. Eihän niitä "Sevilloja" kannata täällä maalla kaupaksikaan


pitää, kun niitä niin vähän ostetaan. Ja menettäähän ne nämäkin.

Toinen kohtaus.
ANTTI, SIPI ja HILMA, sitte SOHVI.

HILMA (tulee perältä palttooseen puettuna ja huivi päässä). Hyvää


päivää! (Tervehtii Sipiä). Terve tultua! Äidiltä kuulin, että olet täällä.

SIPI. Täällähän me…

ANTTI. Luultiin, että jäisit suntiolle koko päiväksi.

HILMA. Pyysihän ne, vaan en jäänyt. (Riisuu palttoon ja huivin,


jotka viepi sivukammariin oikealle).

SIPI. Arvasit kai minun olevan täällä?

HILMA (toisesta huoneesta). Siltäpä se näyttää. Vaan sitä paitsi,


olihan siellä täkintikkaajia ilman minuakin.

ANTTI. Siellä, näet, oli täkkitalkoo.

SIPI (ivallaan). Vai niin, siellä morsiuspeitettä tehdään.

ANTTI (nauraa). Vanhaksi piiaksihan se on päättänyt suntion


Emma jäädä.

HILMA (palaa). Elkää tehkö pilkkaa. Emmalla on paljon tilauksia ja


hän ansaitsee rahaa aika lailla.

SIPI. Mutta oli kai siellä kielikellot nyt taas soimassa?

HILMA. Onpa maar' uutisia, jotka ehkä muitakin huvittavat.

SIPI. No, mitäpä ne olisi? Annapas kuulua!

HILMA. Aha! Vaan enpäs nyt sanokaan.


SIPI. Jos et sinä sano, niin kertoo kai sen sitte muut.

HILMA. No, arvatkaapa, kuka on tänne tullut?

ANTTI ja SIPI. No?

HILMA. Siiri.

ANTTI. Jokohan nyt?

SIPI. Minne tänne?

HILMA. Vallströmin rouvan luo, tietysti.

SIPI. Kuka sitä…? Elkää joutavia!

HILMA. Todenperään! Eipäs usko!

ANTTI. Onhan se nyt vähän kuminallistakin, tuo.

SIPI. Tietysti. Tähän aikaan, kun juuri teatterit parhaillaan


näyttelevät.

HILMA. Siiripä kuuluukin eronneen teatterista.

SIPI. Ooo-ho?!!

ANTTI. Todenkoperään?

HILMA. Ihan totta. Ja Vallstömin rouva kuuluu olleen siitä niin


pahoillaan ja vihoissaan Siirille, ett'ei tahtonut häntä ensin
taloonsakaan ottaa.

ANTTI. M-h-h! No, mitäs se sitte on?


SIPI. Mistäs syystä hän sitte olisi eronnut?

HILMA. Sitä en tiedä. Enkä muutakaan mitään. Mutta saadaan kai


se kohta kuulla.

SIPI. Kuinka niin?

ANTTI. Ai'otko mennä sinne?

HILMA. Enkä. Mitäs minä sinne…

SOHVI (tulee perältä).

AAKU (näkyy Sohvin jälessä porstuan ovella).

SOHVI. Et saa tulla! Mene tupaan Liisun luo! Kuuletkos?! (Sysää


AAKUN, joka itkeä nyyhkyttää, takaisin, ja vetää oven kiinni.) — No,
Hilmahan toi kylästä kummallisia uutisia.

SIPI. Niin. Eihän niitä tässä oikein tahdota uskoakaan.

HILMA. Uskokaa taikka elkää, sama se on minusta. En minä


häntä ole omin silmin nähnyt. Kerroin vaan, mitä itse kuulin.

SOHVI. Mikäs siinä on. Totta kai se on, konsa hän oli sanonut
tänään tulevansa meillä käymään.

SIPI. Vai niin! No, se on toista. Sitäpä ei Hilma meille sanonutkaan


(Katsahtaa silmäkulmien alta epäluottavasti Hilmaan.)

HILMA (hämillään). Enhän minä sitä vielä kerinnyt… Ja sanoinhan


minä, että sen saamme kai kohta kuulla.
SIPI (kävelee miettiväisenä edestakaisin ja seisattuu väliin uunin
eteen, ikäänkuin lämmitelläkseen).

ANTTI. Sen tauttahan sinä sitte niin pian talkoosta palasitkin.

SOHVI. Vaan kummapa se nyt on, että Siiri tällä kertaa näin
sukkelaan meille ehättää, kun viime kesänä saatiin ihan loppuun
uottaa. Ja eiköhän siellä vaan ole Siirille jotakin tapahtunut, kun se
näin rutosti kaikki kesken heitti ja kotiin palasi.

HILMA (joka sisällisesti taistellen on Sipiä tarkastellut). Varmaan


hän nyt todenperään aikoo naimisiin mennä. Mitäpä sille muuta?

SOHVI. Kuka sen tietää. Joko hyväksi tahi pahaksi se vaan lienee.

(Nykäisee Anttia hihasta, kuiskaten). Antti, kuulehan! Tulehan vähän!
Minä tarvitsen sinua (SOHVI ja ANTTI menevät perälle.)

Kolmas kohtaus.

HILMA ja SIPI.

SIPI. Ei — pois minun sitte täytyy lähteä.

HILMA (juosten Sipin luo ja asettuen hänen ja oven väliin). Ei, ei,
Sipi! Mitä varten?!

SIPI. Mitäkö varten?! Tiedäthän itse, Ett'en olisi tiellä, tietysti.

HILMA. Mitä sinä…? Kenenkä?

SIPI. Teidän — sinun ja Siirin. Huomasinhan minä kyllä.


HILMA. Voi! Mitä sinä…?!

SIPI. Ethän tahtonut sanoa…

HILMA. Ei se ollut sen tautta, Sipi. Usko minua: ei ollut.

SIPI. Hyvä, hyvä! No, minkäs sitte?

HILMA. Päinvastoin tahdoin, että jäisit — että saisin haastaa


kanssasi kahden kesken. Minä tahdon… Minun pitää…

SIPI. No, no. Vaan muutenkaan en itse tahtoisi jäädä — olla täällä,
kun hän tulee. (Käkee lähtemään, ojentaen Hilmalle kätensä.)

HILMA. Mutta voithan sitte mennä pois, jos hän tulee ja jos sinä et
tahdo jäädä. Vaan nyt sinun täytyy jäädä (ottaa Sipin lakin hänen
kädestään ja vie sen piirongille), kun minä pyydän. Jääthän, kun
minä pyydän?

SIPI. Olkoon nyt sitte, koska niin tahdot.

HILMA. Nyt sinä olit hyvä. Ja istu tähän kiikkutuoliin! (Vetää


kiikkutuolin lähemmäksi uunia.) Noinikään, — niin saamme haastella
ja lämmitellä hiiluksen ääressä.

SIPI (istuutuu kiikkutuoliin). No? Ja mitäs hauskaa sinulla nyt vielä


on kerrottavaa?

HILMA. Paikalla. (Kohentaa valkeata.)

SIPI. Tiedettiinkös kylässä vielä muutakin, vai?

HILMA. Kyllä. (Nostaa tuolin ja istuutuu vastapäätä uunia.)


Näetkös,
Sipi kulta, ne kun eivät anna minulle siellä rauhaa yhtään enää.

SIPI. No?

HILMA. Varsinkin nyt sen jälkeen, kun sait jouluksi puotikammarisi


ikkunoihin ne uutimet, niin aina kyselevät minulta, että eikös niitä
meidän kuuliaisia jo kohta pidetä.

SIPI. Arvasinhan. Vai sitä ne kielikellot siellä soittivat. No? Etkös


vastannut?

HILMA. Olenhan minä monastikin sanonut, että laskiaisen


aikaanhan sinä olet aikonut.

SIPI. Kas, mitäs niille sitte sen enempää?

HILMA. Eihän ne muuta. Sanovat vaan, että onhan sinulla jo talo


reilassa, niin että voisit sinne jo emännänkin ottaa.

SIPI. Olisit sanonut, että mitä teillä on sen kanssa tekemistä; se on


meidän oma asiamme.

HILMA. Niin, no. Arvaathan sen, Sipi kulta, ett'ei tuommoinen ole
minusta lystiä kuulla. Ja kun vielä äi'ä muutakin haastelevat.

SIPI (nousee ylös kävelemään). Luuletkos sitte, että minustakaan


tämä kaikki on niin lystiä kuulla?

HILMA (nousee myöskin). Tiedänhän minä… Ja sitähän minä


vaan, että jos sitte koetettaisiin pikemmin — jollakin lailla…

SIPI. Enkös minä sitte ole koettanut? Ja tiedäthän sitä paitsi itse,
minkälaisessa reilassa taloni on, kun en vielä ole saanut
mööbelejäkään, jotka Lappeenrannan työvankilasta tilasin. (Ottaa
piirongilta lakkinsa.)

HILMA. Kummallista todellakin, mitä ne niitäkin viivyttää.

SIPI. Niin, no. Joutavia siinä sitte syytä minun päälleni lykkää.

HILMA. Enhän sitä minä, Sipi kulta… Mitä sinä nyt noin pahaksi
panet?
Minähän vaan sanoin, mitä ne ihmiset haastavat.

SIPI. Anna heidän haastaa!

HILMA. Tottahan se onkin. Mitä meillä on heidän kanssaan


tekemistä?!

(Kuuluu kolme jysäystä seinään.)

HILMA. Hyi! Mikä se oli? (Menee ikkunan luo katsomaan.)

SIPI. Isäsi varmaan jotakin laittelee.

HILMA. Kah? Kuka siellä juoksi ikkunan aletse porstuaan?! Se oli


varmaan hän — Siiri.

(Eteisestä kuuluu ilveilevä, helakka nauru.)

HILMA. Sehän se on. Arvasinhan minä. (Juoksee peräovelle, josta


hänelle tulevat vastaan.)

SOHVI (joka vetää kädestä SIIRIÄ, ja heidän jälessään ANTTI.)

Neljäs kohtaus.
HILMA, SIPI, SIIRI, SOHVI ja ANTTI sekä lopulla LIISU ja AAKU.

SOHVI. … tulee nyt vaan! Mitäs sitä joutavia!

SIIRI. Ei, ei. En minä, en minä…

HILMA. No, Siiri?! Mitä sinä?! Hyvää päivää!

(Tervehtivät toisiaan.)

SOHVI. Oltiin Antin kanssa kaivolla, kun tulivat. Vaan eivät sitte
tahtoneet tulla sisään, kun…

SIPI. Kunko minä olin täällä? Eikö niin?

SIIRI. No, ei ollenkaan. Minä nyt en suinkaan ole arkalasta


kotoisin. — Päivää, Sipi! Mitäs kuuluu — pitkistä ajoista? (Tervehtii
Sipiä näennäisen välinpitämättömästi, mutta kuitenkin ystävällisesti.)

SIPI. Eipä muuta, kuin että jos minä olen täällä liikaa, niin…

HILMA. Voi, ei, ei…

ANTTI ja SOHVI. Eihän nyt mitä.

SIIRI. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Ihankos minä nyt säikäytin Sipin päästä


pyörälle, kun korennolla seinään jyskäytin? Ja tulikos siitä nyt
semmoinen väärinkäsitys, minun leikistäni? Ymmärrättehän
kuitenkin, että jos kuka täällä nyt on liikaa, niin se olen minä, eikä
kukaan muu. Ja sen tautta nyt vaan vähän olin kursailevinanikin.

HILMA. Eihän kukaan ole liikaa, ei kukaan.

SOHVI. Eihän mitä. Käykää nyt vaan istumaan.


ANTTI. Niin. Tehkää nyt niin hyvin.

SIIRI. No, niin, tietysti. Kiitoksia! (Riisuu palttoonsa naulaan).


Tehdään sitte niin, kun isäntäväki on niin hyvä ja pyytää. (Istuutuu
tuolille etupuolelle pöytää).

SIPI (joka on tahtonut ripustaa Siirin palttoon, vaan saanut kiellon,


istuutuu pöydän toiselle puolelle, peremmälle)

HILMA (vetää kiikkutuolin paikoilleen ja istuutuu siihen).

SOHVI ja ANTTI (jäävät seisomaan samalle puolelle näyttämöä,


vaan peremmälle).

SIIRI. Minä näen kyllä, että olette kaikki hyvin ihmeissänne minun
äkkinäisestä tulostani — odotatte kuin kysymysmerkit vastausta
minulta. Ja minulla onkin, hyvä isäntäväki, teille pikkuisen asiata.

SOHVI ja ANTTI (katsahtavat toisiinsa). No, olkaa niin hyvä…

SIIRI. Ja sinulle, Hilma, tietysti myös.

HILMA. Sanohan nyt, niin saadaan kuulla. Ja jos voimme, niin…

SIIRI. Niinkuin tietysti jo olette kuulleet, niin olen eronnut


teatterista.

SOHVI. Hilmalta just'ikään vasta kuultiin.

HILMA. Ja minä sen kuulin vähän aikaa sitte suntiossa.

SIIRI. No, luonnollisesti. Ehkä sitte jo tiedätte, mistä syystäkin?

HILMA. Ei. Sitä en kuullut.


SOHVI. Vaan arvatahan ollaan kyllä koetettu.

HILMA. Ja luultavasti ollaan arvattu oikein, koska näin kesken


kaikkea teatterin jätit.

SIIRI. Minä kyllä arvaan, mitä te olette koettaneet arvata, mutta se


ei pidä ryhtiä ollenkaan, e-heei!

HILMA. Että nyt todenperään olet naimisiin menossa?

SIIRI. Jos niin olisi, niin eipä minulla nyt olisikaan teille sitä asiaa,
joka minulla on.

HILMA. Kuinka niin?

SIIRI. Sillä minun eroamiseni syy on ihan toinen, paljoa


kevytmielisempi.

HILMA. Ooo?! Mitä sinä…?

SOHVI ja ANTTI (katsahtavat toisiinsa).

SIIRI. Ha-ha-ha-ha! — No, koska se näyttää teitä huvittavan, niin


minä kerron sen ihan suoraan.

HILMA. Ei, ei, ei me tahdota, jos se on jotakin —

SIIRI. Hirveätäkö? Ha-ha-ha-ha! Sen tautta juuri tahdon sen


salaisuuden teille ilmaista, että saisitte kuulla, kuinka hirveä se on.
Muuten voitte tekin vielä luulla Jumala tiesi mitä pahaa minusta.

HILMA ja SOHVI. Eihän me toki.

ANTTI. Kukapa sitä nyt luulisi?


SIIRI. Elkää sanoko! Ihmiset ovat kyllä kärkkäät kaikkea
pahentamaan. — No. Sanalla sanoen: syy oli se, että muutamia
näyttelijättäriä, niiden joukossa minut, kutsui erään näytännön
jälkeen pari nuorta herraa kanssansa ravintolaan syömään illallista.
Mutta johtajamme, joka siinä suhteessa on hirveän ankara, suuttui
tuosta silmittömäksi kuultuaan sen seuraavana päivänä. Ja varsinkin
hän suuttui minuun, joka muka olin enimmin syypää tuohon
rikokseen. Silloin minä sanoin, että jos minä todellakin olen
teatterissa pahennukseksi, niin minä koreasti eroan. Hän oli kiivas ja
minä samoin, ja niin me tehtiin ero. Sen pituinen se.

HILMA. Mitäs pahaa tuossa nyt oli, että te illallista yhdessä söitte?

SOHVI. Eihän se mikään rikos ole.

SIIRI. Niinpä sitä luulisi puusta katsoen.

ANTTI. Ihan joutavasta tuommoinen rettelö.

HILMA. Erotettiinkos sitte ne muutkin, vai?

SIIRI. Eikä, ne saivat anteeksi.

HILMA. Miksi et sitte sinäkin…?

SIIRI. Anteeksiko pyytänyt? — "Ylpeys sen teki, sanoi pörriäinen,


kun päänsä seinään löi."

SOHVI ja ANTTI (nauravat). Voi, voi, kun se lystisti haastaa.

HILMA. Ja sinä voit olla noin, Siiri?! Se kyllä koskee sinuun,


vaikk'et tahdo sitä näyttää.
SIPI (joka koko ajan ihastuneena on katsellut Siiriä). Mut se oli
oikein tehty. Niin minäkin olisin tehnyt.

HILMA. Vaan mitäs sinä nyt ai'ot tehdä, Siiri?

SOHVI. Mikäs hätä sitä nytkään on täällä Vallströmin rouvan luona


ollessa.

SIIRI. Sepäs se on, että täti Vallström nyt on minuun suuttunut,


että minä muka näin kevytmielisesti käyttäydyin. Pihalle hän ei
minua suorastaan aja, mutta jos ei hän minuun kohta lepy, niin oli
minun aikomukseni pyytää päästä tänne Hilman kanssa asumaan.
Ja se se juuri olikin minun asiani teille.

SOHVI. Ka, mikäs siin' on!

HILMA. Hyvin mielellään.

ANTTI. Sopiihan sitä tänne.

SIIRI. Vaan ei ilmaiseksi — millään muotoa. Minulla on vähän


säästöjä palkastani ja minä tahdon välttämättä maksaa olostani.

HILMA. Elä nyt…!

ANTTI. No, siitä nyt mitä.

SOHVI. Mitä sitä nyt edeltäpäin maksusta haastaa.

SIIRI. Ei, ei, ei. Ei muuten, — jos siitä tosi tulee. Mutta tämä on nyt
vaan kysymys siltä varalta, ett'en voi täti Vallströmin luo jäädä. Ja
kiitoksia nyt kaikissa tapauksissa ystävällisestä lupauksestanne.

LIISU ja AAKU (peräovelta). Äit', hoi! Äit', hoi!


SOHVI. Mikä tuli?

LIISU. Mirre kun hyppäsi taikinapyttyyn.

AAKU. Taikinapyttyyn!! Loiskahti!

SOHVI. Hyvänen aika! (Rientää ulos.)

LIISU ja AAKU (juoksevat edeltä. Muut nauravat.)

ANTTI. Vaatehan siinä varmaan oli päällä peitteenä.

(Menee myöskin perälle.)

Viides kohtaus.

HILMA, SIIRI ja SIPI.

SIIRI. Niin, että sillä lailla se juttu oli.

HILMA. Voi kun minun oikein käy sinua sääli, Siiri.

SIIRI. Ha-ha-ha-ha! Minua se nyt ei säälitä vähääkään.

SIPI. Jos, tuota, se sopisi, — jos nimittäin meillä (vilkaisee


Hilmaan) jo olisi talo reilassa, niin olisihan sitte kyllä sinnekin…

SIIRI. Vai niin? Vai olisi Sipikin minut vielä ottanut luokseen?

SIPI (hymähtää mielissään). Onkos Siiri jo sitte unohtanut, että on


sitä sydämmen paikka minullakin.

SIIRI. Niinkö, että kun muu maailma hylkää, niin on tiedossa


ainakin yksi hyvä ystävä, joka sen hylätyn korjaa, niinkö, vai?
SIPI. Vaikkapa niinkin.

SIIRI. Ha-ha-ha-ha! (Veikeästi:) Hyvä! Pidetään se muistissa.

HILMA. Onhan meillä täällä Siirille kyllä tilaa.

SIIRI. Tietysti, Hilma kulta, enemmän kuin kylliksi. Enhän minä toki
vielä ole niin suuruudella pilattu.

SIPI. Eiköhän nuo alituiset "hyvä"-huudot ja käsien paukutukset


siellä teatterissa ole kuitenkin vähän sinne päin vaikuttaneet?

SIIRI. Jospa niitä niin runsaasti olisi minun osakseni tullut, niin
ehkäpä olisivat vaikuttaneetkin. Vaan se seikka, että nyt olen täällä,
osottaa kai, ett'ei niin ole laita. Ja mistäs Sipi nyt on tuon käsityksen
minusta saanut?

SIPI. Onpa tuota jo ollut minulla vähän ennenkin.

SIIRI. Vai niin? Ja milloinkas se sitte on alkunsa saanut, jos saan


luvan kysyä?

SIPI. Milloinkako? No, mitä sitä niin kauas taaksepäin menee, kun
on myöhempiäkin esimerkkejä.

SIIRI. Voi, voi, kun en minä nyt ymmärrä niin yhtään mitään.
Selvemmin minulle pitää sanoa.

HILMA. Kuulehan, Siiri, nyt muistuu tästä mieleeni yksi asia.

SIIRI. Ja mikä se on?

HILMA. Sanohan: saitko sinä viime syksynä, muutamaa päivää


ennen lähtöäsi täältä, kutsun tulemaan erääsen nuorisoseuran
iltamaan? — Sipi, ole vaiti! Et saa sanoa mitään! Anna Siirin vastata
itse!

SIIRI. Annahan kun muistelen. — Sain, sain, todellakin. — Aa! Vai


sitä se Sipi tarkoittaakin?

SIPI. Siis vaan et suvainnut tulla meidän maalaisten iltamaan?

HILMA. Elähän sekoita, Sipi! Anna minun kysyä loppuun.

SIIRI. Enkö suvainnut? — En joutanut vaan, kun juuri olin


lähtöpuuhissa. — Mitä, Hilma, ai'oit..?

HILMA. Sitä, kuule, sanohan, kuka sinut silloin sinne kutsui, Siiri?
Muistatkos?

SIIRI. Mitäs teidän välillänne oikein on? (Iskee silmää Sipille.) Sipi,
tietysti.

HILMA. Ahas! Kas niin! Siinä se on.

SIPI. Ei. Nyt ei Siiri suvaitse haastaa totta.

SIIRI. Ei väinkään. Muistanhan minä: se oli lukkarin Arvi.

SIPI. No? Rauhoituitkos, Hilma, nyt?

HILMA. Kyllä, kyllä (Menee hiilustaa kohentamaan.)

SIIRI (merkitsevästi Sipille.) Mutta se oli myöskin yksi syy, miksi en


iltamaan tullut. — Vaan te luulitte, että se oli ylpeyttä, niinkö?

SIPI. Täytyy kai uskoa, ett'ei ollut.


SIIRI. Ei pikkuistakaan. Mutta jos niin luulette, niin olen nyt valmis
tulemaan heti ensimmäiseen iltamaan.

SIPI. Terve tultua vaan. Pannaan semmoinen sitte toimeen


kohtakin.

SIIRI. Ja oikein mielelläni tanssin taas noita vanhoja piiritanssia,


niihin kun on niin lystit sanat. Mitenkäs ne onkaan? Tanssitaanpas
vaikka paikalla. (Tarttuu Hilmaa ja Sipiä kädestä, vetää heitä pyörien
perässään ja rallattaa:)

"Ah, voi, voi, kun en miestä saa, sanoi


Anttilan Amaliia…"

SIPI (jatkaa:)

"Miksis ompelit hameesi helmaan rimssuja kamaliia?"

SIIRI. Ha-ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha! (Päästää Hilman käden irti ja jää


vielä kotvan pitämään Sipiä kädestä.)

SOHVI (tulee laulun aikaan sisään).

Kuudes kohtaus.

HILMA, SIPI, SIIRI ja SOHVI.

SIIRI. Voi, voi, mitäs me nyt hullutellaankin?!

SOHVI. Täällähän on ilot ylimmillään. Ja paikalla on lysti, kun Siiri


tuli.
SIIRI. Elkää panko pahaksi, hyvä emäntä. Mutta nämä kun
sanoivat, että minä olen ylpeäksi käynyt, niin minä tahdoin heti
näyttää, ett'ei se ole totta.

SOHVI. Eihän nyt mitä… Siiri kun vielä, näen mä, osaa täkäläisiä
rinkilaulujakin.

SIIRI. Vieläkös niitä täällä nytkin lauletaan, Hilma?

HILMA. Vielä, välistä.

SIPI. Tietysti, — lauletaan kyllä.

SIIRI. Niistä muistui mieleeni ne ajat, kun tuo Sipi vielä oli täällä
kauppapalvelijana ja kun hän minua hakkaili ja aina, minut rinkiin
ottaessaan, lauloi tuon värssyn, että:

"Meinasin, meinasin, meinasin olla, meinasin olla yksin…"

SIPI. (jatkaa:)

"Siniset silmät, punaiset posket sai minut vietellyksi."

Niinkö?

SIIRI. Miten lienee ollut. — Ja nyt siitä on tullut tuommoinen


komersserooti. Ha-ha-ha-ha!

HILMA (johon tämä ilo on vaikuttanut lannistavasti, menee Sipin


luo ja haastaa hänelle jotakin hiljaa).

SIIRI (huomattuaan sen, Sohville). No, pilasiko Mirri taikinan, vai?

SOHVI. Eikä mitä. Käpälänsä vaan vähän tahrasi.
