but they can take days and days to

thaw. -Better this than summer.

FoIks say there are hundreds of

bodies out in the woods.

Oh weII; we have many pairs of hands.

And here's one again,

for us to make pretty and cIean.

No point in sending this one to wash.

FuII of hoIes Iike a sieve.

The men wiII burn it outside.

Then you empty his pockets;

take off the rings and watches-

whatever he happens to have.

Love never dies

How did the hearing go?

-Very weII.

Good thing Messenger Vuori

was there.

So they beIieved you were innocent?

-Yes.

February 1 940-

l seem to be getting used to all the

dreadful things happening here.

And at least l'm able to ease the

suffering of innocent animals a little.

But l can't help thinking of Roy ;

where he is and how he has got by.

Someone heard from our piIots that

outside Leningrad the Russians-

have Iong Iines of trucks fuII of

fresh munition and soIdiers.

And stiII no word of Lasse.

-Ask Messenger Vuori.

He knows everything around here.

Let's go.

-We just got here.

The suppIies you brought

wiII sure come handy.

They're sending in more men

before we head for the front again.

Ask him.

-So you didn't go home; then.

No. I'm managing fine, thank you.

-You have to, over here.

What is it that you wanted to know?

-Nothing.

So no questions, then?

-We just wondered about the situation.

The Soviets are bombarding

the frontIines at Summa.

And we get to caII in artiIIery

onIy when the target's fat enough.

The new artiIIery we got from France

sure has a pretty roar.

But one can't heIp but wonder who'II

be doing the roaring in the end.

Is that enough news for you?

I'II sIeep through my whoIe

rest shift as soon as we get back.

If I don't freeze to death

before that.

Sometimes I feeI I'II never

Iive up to my Lotta Oath.

You shine Iike a star in this

dark wiIderness.

I keep wishing I was

better and more decisive.

I wish my heart was as pure as yours.

Four; Iow.

40 degrees.

Liisa!

-Anna, heIp me!

It hurts.

-You'II be fine; everything's fine.

HeIIo! HeIIo!

HeIp! We need heIp!

LuckiIy the stabIe didn't burn down.

So you decided to stay?

You don't have to worry about seeing

that scoundreI again.

He's Iocked up safe.

You're name is Mona?

Why didn't they sound the aIarm?

-Get the horses in!

Sorry. I don't know

where that came from.

I guess it's because I'm off to

the frontIine soon.

I figured it was my Iast chance for

a kiss. -That wasn't a kiss!

It was meant to be. UnfortunateIy

the teeth got in the way.

But we got you here safe.

You've been reading that same page

for haIf an hour now.

Either you're thick as a stick

or zooIogy is deadIy boring.

Or funny. You're smiIing Iike a goon.
