Naturally, the van Daans had much to tell about the week we'd been away from civilization.
We were especially interested in what had happened to our apartment and to Mr. Goldschmidt.
Mr. van Daan filled us in: “Monday morning at nine, Mr. Goldschmidt phoned and asked if I could come over.”
“I went straightaway and found a very distraught Mr. Goldschmidt. He showed me a note that the Frank family had left behind.”
“As instructed, he was planning to bring the cat to the neighbors, which I agreed was a good idea.”
“He was afraid the house was going to be searched, so we went through all the rooms,”
“straightening up here and there and clearing the breakfast things off the table.”
Suddenly I saw a notepad on Mrs. Frank's desk, with an address in Maastricht written on it.
Even though I knew Mrs. Frank had left it on purpose,
I pretended to be surprised and horrified and begged Mr. Goldschmidt to burn this incriminating piece of paper.
I swore up and down that I knew nothing about your disappearance, but that the note had given me an idea.
“‘Mr. Goldschmidt,’ I said, ‘I bet I know what this address refers to.’”
