"'Where are you, Mynheer Peter?' I asked him.
"'You cannot see me, Willem, but I am here. I want you to tell them all I am here.'
"That's as near as I can remember it. We talked a while longer. Then he said something like:
"'Go over and look on the table, Willem.'
"I went to the table and saw some torn pieces of paper.
"'Put them together, Willem,' said Mynheer Grimm.
"When I had got it all pasted together I saw it was my mother, Anne Marie; and then you and Miss Kathrien came down.
"Uncle Peter was standing over there about in the middle of the room. I could tell from his voice, but I couldn't see him.
"'Tell them about the man who made Anne Marie cry,' Mynheer Peter told me. And he kept saying, 'Hurry, Willem, before it is too late; he is coming. Hurry, Willem, hurry,' and just before Mr. Frederik came in Mynheer Peter said, 'Tell them now, Willem; he is listening at the door.'
"Before you came down I asked Mynheer Peter to take me back with him when he went and he said he would."
