'Just before mid-night he put on warm clothes and his new shoes and walked a cross the bridge. He turned of the road along the sound below the church. Ice had firmed on the sound and inside the old harbour, but further out he could see a darker belt of open water. As he stood there, the lights on the facade of the church went out, and it was dark all round him. It was icy cold and star filled the sky.

All of a sudden Blomkvist felt depressed. He could not for the live of him understand how he ad allowed Vanger to talk him into taking on this assignment. Berger was right: he should be in Stockholm - in bed with her for instance - and planning his campaigns against Wennerstrom. But he felt pathetic about that too, and he didn't even have the faintest idea how to begin planning a counter strategy.

Had it been daylight, he would have walked straight to Vanger's house, canceled his contract, and gone home. But from the rose beside the chursh he could make out all the houses on the island side. Herald Vangers house was dark, but there were lights on in Cecilia's home, as also in Martin's villa out by the point and in the house that was least. In the small-boat harbour there were lights on in the drafty cabin of the artist and little clouds of sparks were rising from his chimney. There were also lights on in the top floor of the cave, and Blomkvist wandered whether Susanne lived there, and if so, wether she was alone.'
