No: Hun var ikke alene; ved hennes side gikk Lena, hennes venn og trofaste støtte. En: She was not alone; by her side walked Lena, her friend and faithful support. No: "Du må våge mer, Sigrid," sa Lena, mens de gikk forbi en av Gustav Vigelands mange imponerende skulpturer.

En: Sigrid nodded quietly, despite her usually reserved nature. No: Erik begynte så en uoffisiell omvisning, delte historier om skulpturene og dem som har skapt dem.
