i was doubled up with laughter; it was such a funny sight。 there was mouschi crouched under a chair; peter armed with water; powdered bleach and a cloth; and mr。

van daan trying to calm everyone down。 the room was soon set to rights; but its a well…known fact that cat puddles stink to high heaven。 the potatoes proved that all too well; as did the wood shavings; which father collected in a bucket and brought downstairs to burn。

poor mouschi! how were you to know its impossible to get peat for your box?

anne thursday; may 11; 1944

dearest kitty;

a new sketch to make you laugh:

peters hair had to be cut; and as usual his mother was to be the hairdresser。 at seven twenty…five peter vanished into his room; and reappeared at the stroke of seven…thirty; stripped down to his blue swimming trunks and a pair of tennis shoes。

〃are you ing?〃 he asked his mother。

〃yes; ill be up in a minute; but i cant find the scissors!鈥

peter helped her look; rummaging around in her cosmetics drawer。 〃dont make such a mess; peter;〃 she grumbled。

i didnt catch peters reply; but it must have been insolent; because she cuffed him on the arm。 he cuffed her back; she punched him with all her might; and peter pulled his arm away with a look of mock horror on his face。 〃e on; old girl!〃

mrs。 van d。 stayed put。 peter grabbed her by the wrists and pulled her all around the room。 she laughed; cried; scolded and kicked; but nothing helped。 peter led his prisoner as far as the attic stairs; where he was obliged to let go of her。 mrs。 van d。

came back to the room and collapsed into a chair with a loud sigh。

〃die enifu〃hruna der mutter;〃。 i joked。 '* the abduction of mother; a possible reference to mozarts opera the abduction from the seraglio。' 〃yes; but he hurt me。鈥

i went to have a look and cooled her hot; red wrists with water。 peter; still by the stairs and growing impa… tient again; strode into the room with his belt in his hand; like a lion tamer。 mrs。 van d。 didnt move; but stayed by her writing desk; looking for a handkerchief。 〃youve got to apologize first。鈥

〃all right; i hereby offer my apologies; but only because if i dont; well be here till midnight。鈥

mrs。 van d。 had to laugh in spite of herself。 she got up and went toward the door; where she felt obliged to give us an explanation。 (by us i mean father; mother and me; we were busy doing the dishes。) 〃he wasnt like this at home;〃 she said。 〃id have belted him so hard hed have gone flying down the stairs '!'。 hes never been so insolent。 this isnt the first time hes deserved a good hiding。 thats what you get with a modern upbringing; modern children。 id never have grabbed my mother like that。 did you treat your mother that way; mr。 frank?〃 she was very upset; pacing back and forth; saying whatever came into her head; and she still hadnt gone upstairs。

finally; at long last; she made her exit。

less than five minutes later she stormed back down the stairs; with her cheeks all puffed out; and flung her apron on a chair。 when i asked if she was through; she replied that she was going downstairs。 she tore down the stairs like a tornado; probably straight into the arms of her putti。

she didnt e up again until eight; this time with her husband。 peter was dragged from the attic; given a merciless scolding and showered with abuse: ill…mannered brat; no…good bum; bad example; anne this; margot that; i couldnt hear the rest。

everything seems to have calmed down again today!

yours; anne 

m。 frank

p。s。 tuesday and wednesday evening our beloved queen addressed the country。 shes taking a vacation so shell be in good health for her return to the netherlands。

she used words like 〃soon; when im back in holland;〃 〃a swift liberation;〃 〃heroism鈥

and 〃heavy burdens。鈥

this was followed by a speech by prime minister gerbrandy。 he has such a squeaky little childs voice that mother instinctively said; 〃oooh。〃 a clergyman; who must have borrowed his voice from mr。 edel; concluded by asking god to take care of the jews; all those in concentration camps and prisons and everyone working in germany。

thursday; may 11; 1944

dearest kitty;

since ive left my entire 〃junk box〃  including my fountain pen  upstairs and im not allowed to disturb the grown…ups during their nap time (until two…thirty); youll have to make do with a letter in pencil。

im terribly busy at the moment; and strange as it may sound; i dont have enough time to get through my pile of work。 shall i tell you briefly what ive got to do? well then; before tomorrow i have to finish reading the first volume of a biography of galileo galilei; since it has to be returned to the library。 i started reading it yesterday and have gotten up to page 220 out of 320 pages; so ill manage it。 next week i have to read palestine at the cross… roads and the second volume of galilei。 besides that; i finished the first volume of a biography of emperor charles v yesterday; and i still have to work out the many genealogical charts ive collected and the notes ive taken。

next i have three pages of foreign words from my various books; all of which have to be written down; memorized and read aloud。 number four: my movie stars are in a terrible disarray and are dying to be straightened out; but since itll take several days to do that and professor anne is; as shes already said; up to her ears in work; theyll have to put up with the chaos a while longer。 then therere theseus; oedipus; peleus; orpheus; jason and hercules all waiting to be untangled; since their various deeds are running crisscross through my mind like mul… ticolored threads in a dress。 myron and phidias are also urgently in need of attention; or else ill forget entirely how they fit into the picture。 the same applies; for example; to the seven years war and the nine years war。 now im getting everything all mixed up。 well; what can you do with a memory like mine! just imagine how forgetful ill be when im eighty!

oh; one more thing。 the bible。 how long is it going to take before i e to the story of the bathing susanna? and what do they mean by sodom and gomorrah? oh;

theres still so much to find out and learn。 and in the meantime; ive left charlotte of the palatine in the lurch。

you can see; cant you; kitty; that im full to bursting?

and now something else。 youve known for a long time that my greatest wish is to be a journalist; and later on; a famous writer。 well have to wait and see if these grand illusions (or delusions!) will ever e true; but up to now ive had no lack of topics。

in any case; after the war id like to publish a book called the secret annex。 it remains to be seen whether ill succeed; but my diary can serve as the basis。

i also need to finish 〃cadys life。〃 ive thought up the rest of the plot。 after being cured in the sanatorium; cady goes back home and continues writing to hans。 its 1941; and it doesnt take her long to discover hanss nazi sympathies; and since cady is deeply concerned with the plight of the jews and of her friend marianne; they begin drifting apart。 they meet and get back together; but break up when hans takes up with another girl。 cady is shattered; and because she wants to have a good job; she studies nursing。 after graduation she accepts a position; at the urging of her fathers friends; as a nurse in a tb sanatorium in switzerland。 during her first vacation she goes to lake o; where she runs into hans。 he tells her that two years earlier hed married cadys successor; but that his wife took her life in a fit of depression。

now that hes seen his little cady again; he realizes how much he loves her; and once more asks for her hand in marriage。 cady refuses; even though; in spite of herself; she loves him as much as ever。 but her pride holds her back。 hans goes away; and years later cady learns that hes wound up in england; where hes struggling with ill health。

when shes twenty…seven; cady marries a well…to…do man from the country; named simon。 she grows to love him; but not as much as hans。 she has two daughters and a son; lthan; judith and nico。 she and simon are happy together; but hans is always in the back of her mind until one night she dreams of him and says farewell。
