Ole kiitollinen siitä, että sinulla on niin säädyllinen nimi ja sitä paitsi...—Voi, täti, Mark on paljon viehättävämpi kuin Markus. Se kuuluu oikein romanttiselta! huudahti Ulla punoittavin poskin. —My name is Mark, a quiet yet resolute voice said from by the window.—You're Markus, Markus. That is a neat Biblical name. Be grateful that you have been bestowed with such a decent name and besides...—Oh, auntie, Mark is much more attractive than Markus. It sounds really romantic! Ulla exclaimed with a blush.
