- 1982, Orvokki Autio, Kotipesä, Gummerus, →ISBN, pages 11–12:
- Olavi oli vain ähkynyt ja haronut hiuksiaan, kun Armi oli puhunut kirjasta, jonka oli lukenut koululaisena. Siinä kirjassa oli ollut Iiris-niminen pieni tyttö. Klewe oli ollut tytön sukunimi. Ei Olavi ollut kuullutkaan sellaisesta kirjasta, mutta oli siihen aikaan myöntynyt kaikkeen, mitä Armi oli tahtonut. [ - - - ]
—Ei Iiris oo olematoon nimi, oli Armi sanonut. —Se on kaunis.
—Se ei oo täs tapaukses ollenkaan pääasia, oli anoppi vatkuttanut almanakka ja silmälasit käsissä täristen.- Olavi had just grunted and groped his hair, when Armi had mentioned a book that she had read when she was still in school. The book had a young girl named Iiris. Klewe was the girl's surname. Olavi had never heard of such a book, but back then he still went along with anything Armi wanted. [ - - - ]
—Iiris isn't a terrible name, Armi had said. —It's beautiful.
—That's not the matter at all here, the mother-in-law had harped on, with her shivering hands grasping onto a calendar and eyeglasses.
