That's the queer thing." Oh, boy, didn't I feel guilty.

Especially I felt guilty because Mr.
Ellsworth was so nice and pleasant about it.

Because all the while I knew where that key came from, and it seemed just like lying not to tell.

Gee, I was kind of sorry now that I promised Lieutenant Donnelle that I would never tell about him coming there.

I couldn't say anything, so I just kept still.
All the while Mr.Ellsworth kept looking at the key and thinking and humming a tune to himself.
