Emma, my girl......

Emma, my girl, who is now in America, had seen Sven Jonsson after he was dead. - He hanged himself in the sauna up on the hill. - One night she had been at a ball and came home in the morning. When she arrived at the cabin bridge, she saw a man standing a short distance away. She thought it was her father, walked up to him, and said: "Are you still awake, Papa?" But when he turned around, she saw the beard and recognized Sven Jonsson. She was, of course, terribly scared and hurried inside, but fortunately, she remembered herself enough not to speak about it until morning. - One becomes ill if one speaks of such things before having slept on it.
