N\u0101kamaj\u0101 dien\u0101 p\u0113c brauciena uz br\u016bno m\u0101ju, Haritija k\u0101 parasti s\u0113d\u0113ja bibliot\u0113k\u0101 pie sava rakst\u0101mgalda, p\u0101rskatot katalogus, bet Targetu meitene, kura bija iesaist\u012bjusies darb\u0101 bibliot\u0113kas uzlabo\u0161an\u0101, t\u012brot un p\u0101rk\u0101rtojot gr\u0101matas, ac\u012bmredzami garlaikota par savu pien\u0101kumu, sauca vi\u0146ai gr\u0101matu nosaukumus no kaudz\u0113 saliktaj\u0101m gr\u0101mat\u0101m. Br\u012bdi pa br\u012bdim vi\u0146a pameta sap\u0146ainu skatienu \u0101r\u0101 pa logu uz Sollas z\u0113nu pagalm\u0101. Kop\u0161 atjauno\u0161anas bibliotek\u0101res amat\u0101, Haritija bija izr\u0101d\u012bjusi gandr\u012bz apbr\u012bnojamu uzc\u012bt\u012bbu ar savu pien\u0101kumu pild\u012b\u0161anu, vair\u0101k neuzdro\u0161inoties kav\u0113t nolikt\u0101s darba stundas ne pa min\u016bti un pat izr\u0101d\u012bjusi slav\u0113jamu sa\u0161utumu par Targetu meitenes kav\u0113jumu, tom\u0113r \u0161odien vi\u0146as domas kav\u0113j\u0101s pie br\u016bn\u0101s m\u0101jas un H\u0101rnija. Kop\u0161 vi\u0146u kop\u012bg\u0101 brauciena, L\u016bcijs H\u0101rnijs nebija ieradies pusdien\u0101s k\u0101 parasti un tas \u0161\u0137ita d\u012bvaini. Vi\u0146a pat nebija sa\u0146\u0113musi nevienu paskaidrojumu par vi\u0146a neiera\u0161anos. Ja Rojala kungam tas ne\u0161\u0137ita nekas d\u012bvains un H\u0101rnija neiera\u0161anos tas bija uz\u0146\u0113mis ar v\u0113su vienaldz\u012bbu, jo, t\u0101pat k\u0101 liel\u0101k\u0101 da\u013ca Zieme\u013cdormejie\u0161u, skeptiski tur\u0113j\u0101s pie uzskatiem, ka viss, kas \u0161eit norisin\u0101s jau sen piederas pie vi\u0146u ikdienas un lietu k\u0101rt\u012bbu nav iesp\u0113jams izmain\u012bt, Haritijai p\u0113c brauciena uz Kalnu, kad H\u0101rnijs atpaka\u013cce\u013c\u0101 bija tur\u0113jis vi\u0146as roku un teicis tik daudz mierino\u0161u v\u0101rdu, tas lik\u0101s satrauco\u0161i. Var\u0113ja \u0161\u0137ist, ka vi\u0146\u0161 nekad neb\u016btu bijis \u0161eit, neb\u016btu bijis Haritijas dz\u012bv\u0113 un tas vi\u0146u s\u0101pin\u0101ja. Tagad Haritija s\u0113d\u0113ja \u0161eit, pie sava rakst\u0101mgalda, pustum\u0161aj\u0101s bibliot\u0113kas telp\u0101s un cent\u0101s atrast visus iesp\u0113jamos attaisnojumus vi\u0146a neiera\u0161an\u0101s m\u012bkstin\u0101\u0161anai. Var\u0113ja ta\u010du atgad\u012bties viss kas, ko vien pr\u0101ts var iedom\u0101t, lai kav\u0113tu \u0161o, nu jau tik ierasto, vi\u0146a pievieno\u0161anos vi\u0146iem vakari\u0146\u0101s. Un tom\u0113r, vi\u0146ai bija interesanti, k\u0101 vi\u0146\u0161 to attaisnos, k\u0101di b\u016bs vi\u0146a pirmie v\u0101rdi, vi\u0146iem atkal satiekoties. Vi\u0146a bija gandr\u012bz p\u0101rliecin\u0101ta, ka vi\u0146\u0161 labpr\u0101t\u0101k v\u0113l\u0113sies satikt vi\u0146u kaut kur \u0101rpus m\u0101jas, un s\u0101ka jau pl\u0101not, k\u0101 atbr\u012bvoties no Targeta meitenes kl\u0101tb\u016btnes t\u0101d\u0101 gad\u012bjum\u0101, kad paman\u012bja jauno H\u0101rniju n\u0101kam pa ce\u013cu kop\u0101 ar Mailsa kungu. Gar\u012bdznieks no Hepburnas reti ierad\u0101s Zieme\u013cdormer\u0101, iz\u0146emot gad\u012bjumus, kad vi\u0146\u0161 brauca uz veco balto bazn\u012bcu. Haritija k\u0101du laiku bija apbr\u012bnojusi vi\u0146u un sava neaizmirstam\u0101 ce\u013cojuma laik\u0101 uz N\u0101trtonu pat izt\u0113lojusies, ka ir prec\u0113sies ar v\u012brieti, kuram ir tik taisns deguns un skaists runas veids, k\u0101 Mailsa kungam, un kur\u0161 dz\u012bvoja br\u016bn\u0101 akmens rektor\u0101t\u0101, kas apaudzis ar v\u012bte\u0146iem. Haritija bija jutusies satriekta, uzzinot, ka Mailsa kunga sievas godu jau bauda sieviete ar sajauktiem, nek\u0101rt\u012bgiem matiem un vi\u0146iem, pie tam, ir paliels b\u0113rns. L\u016bcija H\u0101rnija iera\u0161an\u0101s nu bija sp\u0113jusi \u0161os vi\u0146as sap\u0146us aizgai\u0146\u0101t, un tagad, redzot vi\u0146u jaunekl\u012bg\u0101, dzirksto\u0161\u0101 H\u0101rnija komp\u0101nij\u0101, n\u0101kam pa ce\u013cu, Haritija beidzot ieraudz\u012bja t\u0101 patieso veidolu- resnu pusm\u016b\u017ea v\u012brieti ar kailu galvasvidu, kur\u0161 r\u0113goj\u0101s no vi\u0146a cepures un brill\u0113m uz deguna.

Vi\u0146am izejot, Haritijai pat lik\u0101s, ka saskata H\u0101rnija ac\u012bs no\u017e\u0113lu par notikuo apst\u0101k\u013cu satkrit\u012bbu, tikai… k\u0101d\u0113\u013c vi\u0146\u0161 dev\u0101s l\u012bdzi Mailsa kungam, nevis palika \u0161eit, bibliot\u0113k\u0101, kop\u0101 ar vi\u0146u?

Kaut kas bija noticis, tagad jau vi\u0146a bija par to p\u0101rliecin\u0101ta! Haritiju krat\u012bja satraukuma drebu\u013ci. Un vi\u0146a bija gandrz p\u0101rliecin\u0101ta, ka Rojala kungs pat zina, kas tas ir! Tonis, ar k\u0101du Rojala kungs bija teicis: “Vi\u0146\u0161 nen\u0101k!”, vi\u0146ai \u0161\u0137ita draud\u012bga gandar\u012bjuma pilns.

Vien\u012bgais, ko vi\u0146a nevar\u0113ja saprast bija, vai tas kaut k\u0101d\u0101 veid\u0101 saist\u012bts ar pa\u0161a L\u016bcija H\u0101rnija nev\u0113l\u0113\u0161anos sastapt vi\u0146as no jauna p\u0113c brauciena uz Br\u016bno m\u0101ju, vai ar\u012b t\u0101s bija sasp\u012bl\u0113t\u0101s attiec\u012bbas ar Rojala kungu. Haritija atskat\u012bj\u0101s uz Rojala kungu, kur\u0161 nu pies\u0113d\u0101s pie \u0113diena galda. Vi\u0146\u0161 nedr\u012bkst\u0113ja nojaust vi\u0146as satraukumu, nedr\u012bkst\u0113ja uzzin\u0101t par vi\u0146as j\u016bt\u0101m! Haritija, k\u0101 parasti, nos\u0113d\u0101s sav\u0101 viet\u0101. Neviens no vi\u0146iem netika p\u0101rmijis ne v\u0101rda, Rojala kungs apl\u0113ja sev stipru t\u0113ju, tad, t\u0101pat klus\u0113dams, pasniedza t\u0113jkannu Haritijai. Rojala kungs uzlika uz \u0161\u0137\u012bvi Verenas atnesto olu kultenun paskat\u012bj\u0101s uz Haritiju:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTu ne\u0146emsi?\u201d vi\u0146\u0161 ievaic\u0101j\u0101s, redzot, ka vi\u0146a \u0161\u0137\u012bvim ar kulteni pat nepieskaras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haritija dzi\u013ci ieelpoja, lai nedaudz nomierin\u0101tos, tad atkal izelpoja un pasniegusies p\u0113c \u0161\u0137\u012bvja, uzlika sev nedaudz kulteni. Haritija \u0113da ar gandr\u012bz t\u0113lotu vienaldz\u012bbu, lai gan labi zin\u0101ja, ka Rojala kungs vi\u0146as nov\u0113ro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P\u0113c vakari\u0146\u0101m, kad Haritija bija jau sav\u0101 istab\u0101, vi\u0146a dzird\u0113ja, k\u0101 Rojala kungs atkal iziet uz verandas un, piepe\u0161i, vi\u0146as p\u0101r\u0146\u0113ma nep\u0101rvarama v\u0113lme noiet lej\u0101 pie vi\u0146a, lai pavaic\u0101tu, kas \u012bsti ir noticis, bet varb\u016bt tas bija k\u0101ds iedzimts lepnums vai sp\u012bt\u012bba, kas to neat\u013c\u0101va:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Es lab\u0101k nomirtu, nek\u0101 to dar\u012btu,” vi\u0146a pie sevis nomurmin\u0101ja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vi\u0146a pieg\u0101ja pie loga un, atv\u0113rusi to, izliec\u0101s \u0101r\u0101. Kr\u0113sla tagad bija jau p\u0101rtapusi piln\u012bg\u0101 tums\u0101, t\u0101, ka l\u0101g\u0101 neko nevar\u0113ja saskat\u012bt, cauri tumsai, vi\u0146a ieraudz\u012bja vienu vai divas fig\u016bras, kas virz\u012bj\u0101s pa ce\u013cu, \u0161ur un tur logos iedeg\u0101s gaismas, izgaismojot lilliju dobes baltumu Haves pagalm\u0101 un mazliet t\u0101l\u0101k, t\u0101d\u0101 pa\u0161\u0101 veid\u0101, gaisma no Karika Freja Ro\u010destera loga atkl\u0101ja vi\u0146a piem\u0101jas ziedu dobes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V\u0113l k\u0101du br\u012bdi Haritija turpin\u0101ja l\u016bkoties no logiem kr\u012bto\u0161o gaismu sp\u0113l\u0113 ar tumsu, tad nok\u0101pa lejas st\u0101v\u0101 un, pa\u0146\u0113musi no \u0101\u0137a cepuri, izg\u0101ja lauk\u0101. Rojala kungs v\u0113l joproj\u0101m s\u0113d\u0113ja verand\u0101, tikai tagad vi\u0146am blakus s\u0113d\u0113ja Verena, rokas kl\u0113p\u012b sakrustojusi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUz kurieni tu ej?\u201d vi\u0146\u0161 uzsauca, Haritijai gar\u0101m ejot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vi\u0146a, protams, b\u016btu var\u0113jusi sac\u012bt, ka dodas pir Ormas vai ar\u012b lej\u0101 l\u012bdz Targetiem- tas viss neb\u016btu meli, ta\u010du \u0161oreiz vi\u0146a izv\u0113l\u0113j\u0101s uz \u0161o jaut\u0101jumu neatbild\u0113t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redzot gaismu n\u0101kam no mis Hat\u010dardas m\u0101jas, Haritija saprata, ka H\u0101rnijs nav devies l\u012bdzi Mailsa kunga, k\u0101 vi\u0146a bija dom\u0101jusi. Pieejot tuv\u0101k m\u0101jai, vi\u0146a ieraudz\u012bja, ka gaisma, kura tai lik\u0101s n\u0101kam no mis Hat\u010dardas viesistabas, krita no m\u0101jas t\u0101l\u0101k\u0101 gala.

Pieliecoties logam tik tuvu, ka sp\u0113ja saskat\u012bt cauri re\u017e\u0123iem, kuri to sedza, Haritija br\u012bvi var\u0113ja p\u0101rskat\u012bt istabu ar sarkankoka gultu, grav\u0113jumu pie sienas, ve\u013cas ma\u0161\u012bnu, uz kuras uzmests dvielis un ar za\u013cu galdautu p\u0101rsegtu galdu ar naktslampu uz t\u0101s. T\u0101 apgaismoja pusi no istabas, otru atst\u0101jot tums\u0101 un tie\u0161i zem \u0161\u012bs lampas, divas saul\u0113 apdegu\u0161as rokas, ar z\u012bmuli vien\u0101 rok\u0101, bet otr\u0101- line\u0101lu, kuru roka virz\u012bja pa z\u012bm\u0113\u0161anas d\u0113li, tad piepe\u0161i rokas aizst\u016bma visu mal\u0101 ar t\u0101du neizprotamu niknu un nepatiku, kas lika Haritijai satr\u016bkties. Vi\u0146\u0161 bija tur, pat nenojau\u0161ot par vi\u0146as kl\u0101tb\u016btni! Haritijas sirds s\u0101ka dauz\u012bties. Vi\u0146a bija redz\u0113jusi daudzas reizes, ar k\u0101du r\u016bp\u012bbu vi\u0146\u0161 veica savus z\u012bm\u0113jumus, t\u0101 k\u0101rt\u012bgumu un metodes, bet tas, k\u0101 vi\u0146\u0161 \u0161ovakar tika nolicis mal\u0101 z\u012bm\u0113\u0161anas d\u0113li, var\u0113ja noz\u012bm\u0113t k\u0101das citas r\u016bpes, kuras to nom\u0101ca, vai ar\u012b p\u0113k\u0161\u0146u nepatiku pret savu darbu.

Tagad aizvainojums un dusmas, kas bija jau pierimu\u0161as, Haritij\u0101 atmod\u0101s no jauna, sajaucoties ar ilg\u0101m izjust H\u0101rnija tuvumu.

    Billijs Makvaijs ierun\u0101j\u0101s un, pirms v\u0113l Holands bija pasp\u0113jis ko iebilst, vi\u0146\u0161 pa\u0146\u0113ma savus kramplau\u017eu instrumentus un, k\u0101 nekas nebijis, uzlauza pieliekam\u0101 skapja durvis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Kad Billijs Makvaijs bija aizg\u0101jis, Holands aps\u0113d\u0101s un s\u0101ka gaid\u012bt, bet visu \u0161o laiku vi\u0146u nepameta saj\u016bta, ka vi\u0146\u0161 gaida tiesas spriedumu vai kaut ko vismaz tikpat svar\u012bgu.

    Neraugoties uz to, ka vasara tagad jau pa\u0161\u0101 plaukum\u0101, Rimants iekur kam\u012bnu.
