Nils está de camino a Rovaniemi. Es un periodo de trabajo intenso antes de la Navidad y de que se repartan los regalos navideños. Está sentado en su vagón del tren y siente que se va a quedar dormido en cualquier momento, y entonces aparece de repente el Sr. P. Él es como un dios para Nils y para todos allí arriba en el Círculo Polar Ártico. El Sr. P se quita el abrigo rojo, se quita todo, deja al descubierto todo su magnífico cuerpo y le pide a Nils que haga lo mismo. Porque, como dice el Sr. P: "Lo que pasa en el compartimento, se queda en el compartimento".

Between 1819 and 1845, as veterans of the Revolutionary War were filing applications to receive pensions for their service, the government was surprised to learn that many of the soldiers were not men but boys, many of whom were under the age of 16 and some even as young as nine. In Boy Soldiers of the American Revolution, Caroline Cox reconstructs the lives and stories of this young subset of early American soldiers, focusing on how these boys came to join the army and what they actually did in service.
