"Where are you going?" he [the soldier] asked. "Gilleleje," Mama replied calmly. "My brother lives there. We are going to visit him." The soldier turned away and Annemarie relaxed. Then, without warning, he turned back. "Are you visiting your brother for the New Year?" he asked.

• He wants to tag along with Mama and the kids to celebrate the New Year. He is bored with his job.
