   • 2018, Heidi Jaatinen, Koski, Gummerus, →ISBN, pages 198–199:

     Stiina meni ja sulki Hilja Esterin syliinsä, miten erilainen tämä Hilja oli kuin Kosken Hilja. Hilja Ester tuli nimeensä. Tytön kasvoilla arvokkuus, sisar oli sinut kohtalonsa kanssa, silmät kuin tähdet.

     Stiina covered Hilja Ester in her lap. Just how different this Hilja was from that of Koskis. Hilja Ester became her name. On her face was a kind of dignity, her sister had come to terms with her fate, her eyes like stars.
