About This Passage
This is the moment Uncle Henrik finally tells Annemarie the secret of the handkerchief. The packet she risked her life to deliver was a special medicine made by smart scientists to fool the soldiers' dogs. Copying these words helps you feel how cleverness, kindness, and bravery worked together to save the Rosens.
And they have created a special drug. I don't know what it is. But it was in the handkerchief. It attracts the dogs, but when they sniff at it, it ruins their sense of smell. Imagine that!
