Question

Anne (Startled). But there’s no one in the building now.

Mr. Frank. It doesn’t matter. I don’t want you ever to go beyond that door.

Anne (Sobered). Never . . . ? Not even at nighttime, when everyone is gone? Or on Sundays? Can’t I go down to listen to the radio?

Mr. Frank. Never. I am sorry, Anneke. It isn’t safe. No, you must never go beyond that door.
