Friday, July 10, 1942: How was it obvious to Anne that her father had been preparing for going into hiding for quite some time?

Things were already set in place when they got to the annex. Boxes were waiting to be unpacked.

All day long we unpacked boxes, filled cupboards, hammered nails and straightened up the mess, until we fell exhausted into our clean beds at night. We hadn't eaten a hot meal all day, but we didn't care; Mother and Margot were too tired and keyed up to eat, and Father and I were too busy.
