Plot: Aki has done a wonderful thing by introducing the Kalevala to Katri and defeating the vindictiveness by which Helena expresses her clumsiness with that book; still, a little excavation will reveal that everything is not as hunky-dory as it initially appears when Aapeli is frustrated at having to do double duty since Katri is so engrossed in reading the Kalevala. Upon Pekka sharing his perspective of books being a headache for him, Katri remarks about the complicated portions that make sense with a little computation in most cases when Aki posing the question of what Pekka and Katri plan to do with their lives becomes the preamble of his discourse about the feeling of national pride galvanizing the Finnish people as they prepare to fight for their political independence from Russia; an impromptu tutoring session with Aki gives way to Teemu giving Katri a day off as thanks for Ulla's recovery
