![]() ![]() The local sherrif questions Patty as it was she who helped him in the store and perhaps he let something slip about his escape plans. ![]() Nobody can quite understand how he is able to get away and the FBI is brought in to investigate. The next time she hears Anton's name it is on the lips of everyone in town, as he escapes from the prison. There is a definite and immediate connection between Patty and Anton. She is immediately struck by his manners and finds him easy to speak to she is also surprised when he buys a rather cheap-looking pin with imitation diamonds that are a bit too shiny, that seems like something he would never buy. Patty is excited when the prisoners come into the department store her parents own whilst she is there she jumps onto the register to help and meets gentle, polite Anton Reiker who is looking to buy a pencil sharpener. She hopes that telling her father about the prisoners' arrival will get his attention and please him but although he is interested he is still as disdainful of her as ever. ![]() The town is briefly fascinated by them, but for Patty the fascination endures. Patty Bergen is twelve years old and school is out for the summer in her small Arkansas town where nothing much ever happens - that is, until this summer, when a prison camp for German prisoners of war captured during World War Two is opened and the first prisoners arrive.
