En: Sander believed that it was hidden within the walls of the famous house.

Nl: Lotte, de conservator van het museum, vond de verhalen van Sander maar wilde fantasieën.

Nl: Hij hing aan Sanders lippen en zijn ogen twinkelden bij de gedachte aan een ontdekkingsreis.
En: He hung on Sander's every word, his eyes sparkling at the thought of an adventure.

Nl: Maar hij zat vast tussen zijn plicht en zijn nieuwsgierigheid.
En: But he was torn between his duty and his curiosity.

Nl: "Sander, je hebt niets om je zoektocht te bewijzen," zei Lotte streng.
En: "Sander, you have nothing to substantiate your search," said Lotte sternly.

Nl: Ze vouwde haar armen over elkaar en keek hem aan met opgetrokken wenkbrauwen.
En: She folded her arms and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Nl: Bram slikte en keek van Lotte naar Sander.
En: Bram swallowed and looked from Lotte to Sander.

Nl: "Misschien is er toch een kans?" fluisterde hij.

Nl: Ze stonden in de kamer waar Anne ooit had geschreven.
En: They stood in the room where Anne had once written.

Nl: Hij klopte op een oude houten tafel en voelde iets hards eronder.
En: He tapped on an old wooden table and felt something hard underneath.

Nl: "Een verborgen compartiment," zei hij met moeite zijn vreugde te onderdrukken.
En: "A hidden compartment," he said, struggling to contain his excitement.

Nl: Sander probeerde het compartiment te openen, maar het zat op slot.
En: Sander tried to open the compartment, but it was locked.

Nl:...
