That was in Sweden.

That's different.

You made your own decision when you were 14.

Why can't I when I'm 18?

You can't stop me.

As soon as the ice melts we're off.

-Don't give me your last dollars.

-You might need them.

Just in case you don't find as much

gold as you think you will.

LETTER TO:

Here's the flour' Mr Nelson.

I'm sorry that isn't enough.

I need 20 cent.

You don't have it? Well. . . I'm sorry.

Maple syrup. . . Everything OK?

Yes' everything is fine.

-Any letters for me?

-Sorry. We haven't received any letters.

-Has Samuel Njd asked you to marry him?

-Yes' it is true. Njd asked me to marry him.

Him too. And what did you tell him.

I told him the same thing I told

Mr Mnsson and Mr Abbott.

I wonder who will end up being your husband.

I don't wonder about anything myself' Kristina.

I'm moving from DanjeI to Stillwater.

A miracle has happened.

I'm going to become a Baptist'

and my husband to be will baptise me.

What on earth?!

I'm getting married to Reverend Jackson

in StiIIwater. It's a miracle!

Kristina' I can't explain it!

There is nothing more I can say.

Dear' sweet Ulrika. You surprise me.

It's not like you to be upset like this.

I'm not upset' I'm happy!

-You couldn't ask for a better husband.

-It's a miracle!

Turn around' close your eyes. Don't open them

till I tell you. Close your eyes!

Now you can look.

No. . . !

-You have to try it on' Kristina.

-No' no!

You look prettier than the

grandest noble lady.

Here you go' Mr Nelson. 15 cent.

-That's right. 15 cent.

-What do you mean. . .?

That will be 15 cent for the postage.

Me? 15?

-Don't you have any cash?

-No' I don't have any cash. Not today.

Can you come back?

I'm sorry.

-Another day?

-Monday? Come back on Monday.

I will need to keep hold of that' Mr Nelson.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Reach out your strong hand'

and yank me back to Sweden !

I thought you were asleep' Karl Oskar.

Something woke me.

-How are you' Kristina?

-I'm fine.

Just go back to sleep.

-Why are you lying awake?

-It's nothing.

It's just silly and childish.

You're sad' aren't you?

You're sad' Kristina.

If your battling with something' then let me

help. That what good friends are there for.

If you want God to reach out and yank you back,-

-then I will reach out my arm

and keep you here with me.

Do you know what' Karl Oskar?

There is nothing more to say.

It was a childish thought that occurred

to me as I was saying my evening prayer.

Karl Oskar. . .

Don't you ever miss the old ones?

Maybe sometimes.

I can't help it!

Sweetness' ah my sweet. . .

Wait. I'm going to fetch you something.

Anna's old boot.

It helps me remember

when I get homesick sometimes
