This short story is about Lennart who keeps his promise to his dead brother Åke. He marries Lena, who was Åke's fiancee and who is expecting a child. How will Lennart and Lena manage the marriage and how will the family accept this? This short story was written by an author at the end of the 50s, so you as a reader will have the opportunity to return to an era a half centery ago, which is shown both linguistically and in the environments described. The grandchild has made it possible for the short story to be published in the present.
