** 1986, Vuokko Tolonen, Lastenhuone, Otava, →ISBN, page 19:—Pojan! Hoitaja nostaa päänsä paperista, närkästyneenä tai hölmistyneenä. Tästä ei tällä menolla tule ikinä mitään. —Anton. Jos se on ihme ja poika, niin olkoon Tšehovin kunniaksi ja Jorman mieliksi. —Yhdellä vai kahdella teellä? Me emme ymmärrä toisiamme. En haluaisi jättää mahaani hänen armoilleen.—A boy! The nurse looks back up from the paper, either offended or stupefied. This will go nowhere at this rate. —Anton. If it's a boy by some miracle, let him be in honor of Chekhov and to please Jorma. —One or two Ts? We don't understand each other. I wouldn't want to entrust my belly to this nurse.
