Anyway I know he was frightened, because all the next morning he kept asking me if he'd have to go to court and things like that.
"The only court you'll go to, is the tennis court," I told him; so we made up a set with my two sisters, Ruth and Marjorie, and the girls beat us three games.

While we were playing, along came Mr Ellsworth and Commissioner Terry with two strange men, and I could see Pee-wee was very nervous.

They sent the girls away and then began to ask Pee-wee questions.

I could see that they thought the discovery we made was pretty serious.
"Are you the boy that found the paper in the book ?" they asked me.

Then they wanted to know what kind of a book it was, and I told them it was a book about German history and they screwed up their faces and looked very suspicious.
"You say that the man spoke broken English ?" one of them asked Pee-wee.
Pee-wee was kind of nervous, I could see.
