Number two: Mr. Voskuijl left early last night, and we weren't sure if he'd given Bep the key and she'd forgotten to lock the door.
But that was of little importance now. The night had just begun, and we still weren't sure what to expect.
We were somewhat reassured by the fact that between eight-fifteen when the burglar had first entered the building
and put our lives in jeopardy, and ten-thirty, we hadn't heard a sound.
The more we thought about it, the less likely it seemed that a burglar would have forced a door
so early in the evening, when there were still people out on the streets.
Besides that, it occurred to us that the warehouse manager at the Keg Company next door might still have been at work.
What with the excitement and the thin walls, it's easy to mistake the sounds.
Besides, your imagination often plays tricks on you in moments of danger.
So we went to bed, though not to sleep. Father and Mother and Mr. Dussel were awake most of the night,
and I'm not exaggerating when I say that I hardly got a wink of sleep.
This morning the men went downstairs to see if the outside door was still locked, but all was well!
