»Niin se on vaarallista…»
Seuraavana päivänä Hanna sai kirjeen. Hän arvasi heti, että se oli
Ballmannilta, ja aukaisi nopeasti kuoren. Paperi vapisi hänen
kädessään, kun hän luki:
Ewald Ballmann.»
»Nyt kai olen pakotettu antamaan itseni ilmi, täti?» sanoi Hanna
luettuaan kirjeen ystävälleen. »Minusta on vain hiukan harmillista
alentua mustatukkaisesta, 'sielukkaasta' Janesta vaaleakiharaiseksi,
kevytmieliseksi Hannaksi…»
»Niin, en koskaan olisi luullut elämän olevan niin ihanaa. Mutta nyt
minä menen ja jätän tohtorin teille.»
»Ah!»
»Mitä te sanoitte?»
»Sanoin 'ah'…»
»Ero?» toisti Ewald. »Voiko ajatella eroa, kun tuskin vielä lausutut
sanat 'minä rakastan sinua' ovat huulillani? Tai vihaatteko minua,
halveksitteko minua? Onko tieto rikollisesta vaitiolostani voinut
sammuttaa eilisen rakkaudenhehkun?»
Ewald hätkähti.
»Niin. Ja mikä vielä pahempi, minua ei ole hyljätty, vaan olen itse
hyljännyt. Siitä on noin kymmenen vuotta sitten kun viimeksi näin
mieheni…»
»Vai niin, oletko sinä täällä, Jane? Ah, hyvää huomenta, herra
Ballmann!»
»Jane, Jane… rakas lapsi! Minunkin täytyy kiittää sinua siitä ilosta,
minkä olet minulle suonut. Nouse ylös, rakkaani! Älä myöhästy
junasta. Kas, tässä on kirje, joka sinun tulee ottaa mukaasi. Lupaa
minulle, ettet avaa sitä, ennenkuin miehesi on jälleen puolisosi.
Lukekaa se yhdessä.»
»Minä tuntisin kai niin, jos asiat olisivat sillä tavoin kuin luulet.
Mutta sinä et voi tietää mikä minua huolestuttaa, ennenkuin olen
puhunut suuni puhtaaksi. Anna minun ensin kuitenkin tehdä sinulle
joitakuita kysymyksiä ja lupaa minulle, että vastaat niihin
totuudenmukaisesti.»
»Minä en ymmärrä…»
»Ja tuota voit uskoa, Jane?… Tänä hetkenä voit luulla sen olevan
mahdollista?»
