     "Iidako se on tämän Variksen akan nimi?"
     "Iidaksihan ne tätä papin mukaan haukkuvat, vaikka olisihan se näin mökkiläisen akan nimeksi välttänyt paljas Maijakin tahi vaikka Suso", mukasi Varis.

     "Well, Iida is what the priest wrote as her name and that's how they call her names, even if that kind of rural woman could've been called Maija or even Suso", Varis blustered.
