34.

We hastily rinsed our hands and entered the cabin. Kristina had prepared some breakfast, which we gratefully accepted, having had no time to eat anything at all before we left the parsonage. I spooned up a little fish gruel while the pastor posed his questions.

“I was thinking about your dog. Did you hear her bark in the night?”

“No, the dog’s gone.”

“What do you mean, gone?”

“She’s always loose. So sometimes she runs off.”

“I see. When did you last see her?”

“It must have been the day before yesterday,” Elias said in a low voice. “She’s been so unsettled since Jolina’s troubles. She’s been barking and making a noise at night.”

“I think she’s been guarding us,” Kristina said. “I thought I saw someone creeping about outside myself.”

“She’s been growling at the door for several nights,” Elias agreed. “We usually let her out to guard the place. We thought it might have been the fox.”

“But this last time she stayed away?”

“She’ll come back soon,” Kristina said. “She always appears after a while.”

“Perhaps we ought to look for her anyway,” the pastor said. “Her name is Siiri, isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“A fine name for a dog. Siiri.”
