- Hilma suostui kiltisti sanomaan häntä Sylviaksi. Olihan hän itsekin joskus toivonut että häntä sanottaisiin Mariaksi kun Maria oli hänen toinen nimensä. Mutta Hilmana hän oli pysynyt, vaikka lapsena nimi oli väännetty Himmuksi, ja nyt Sylvia sanoi häntä Himmaksi. Sylvia ja Himma.
- Hilma kindly agreed to call her Sylvia. After all, she had too once hoped to be called Maria, which was her second name. But she had stayed a Hilma, even if she had been called HImmu as a child, and now Sylvia called her HImma. Sylvia and Himma.
