jeg synes det kan være vanskelig å se i gamle folks ansikter de trekkene de har hatt som unge. av og til er det nesten umulig å forestille seg at de i det hele tatt har hatt en ung- domstid. hvor vanskelig er det ikke da å gjenfinne, enn si forklare, tankene og handlingene fra unge år? ens egne unge følelser. men dette vet jeg: ranveig folkestad fylte tankene mine stadig mer. jeg begynte å kle meg som henne, jeg la bort de stripete genserne og kjøpte utvaskete cardigans og hvite skjorter på loppemarked. jeg ville at hun skulle synes jeg var spesiell. jeg elsket det når hun sa: «åsta, har du et øye- blikk?» etter at skoleklokken hadde ringt ut. så ofte jeg var i stand til det, samlet jeg ord og setninger jeg kunne bruke i en samtale med henne. jeg pugget avsnitt i roma- nene hun lånte meg, for å nyte det imponerte uttrykket i ansiktet hennes. men siden - hele livet siden - har jeg latt so meaning in English
