Description

Affection. Thanks to her collaborative efforts with Pekka, Katri successfully rescued all of the Räikkölä-ke cattle only to have endowed unto her a scathing castigation complete with a cane strike before Teemu has the true nature of the situation explained to him; still, Katri is in for quite a surprise when she finds herself inhibited by a cumbersome deviant diagnostic as the wages for her muddy intercession for Viikuna who had led the other bovines to the cliff at the north pasture in the first place. Martii decides for a visit to Katri as the method of choice for initiating his summer furlough along with introducing his disdainful cousin Helena who leaves in a huff; Katri's physiological deviant diagnostic now confirmed, Martii decides to intercede on Katri's behalf by herding the cattle prior to explaining Teemu the necessity of Katri resting for a few days -- an enterprise interdicted by Katri's obstinacy and Teemu not really understanding the full nature of the situation. Fortunately for Katri, Teemu cannot ignore the warm sensation of a fever nor the sincerity with which Martii promises to cover for Katri during this time; in spite of Teemu's qualms about his suitability for the job for which his punctual arrival should be a factor, Martii sets out to guide the cattle to the pasture but finds that Viikuna is not as easily appeased at the substitution of supervision as she decides for exploring the forest before Pekka makes her reverse course back to the herd. What everybody fails to realize is that Ulla is about to prosecute the ultimate course reversal as the many parallels between Leena's demise and Katri's illness prompt her to set course for the sauna to synthesize hot cakes, while Katri divides her energies between feeding her face and computing a perspective of Ulla having done such a selfless thing for her, Martii finds that securing Helena's cooperation is more difficult than forestalling a migration into danger led by Viikuna!!!
