Lucy hid her jewels under a rock where Mrs. Wilson had hidden hers previously, but not noticing it. When Lucy retrieved hers later she took all and was horrified at finding others with hers later but was afraid to say anything for fear it would get back to the Japanese. Mrs. Wilson went on the rampage, wanted to know who stole her heirlooms and was going to yell about it whether the Japanese heard or not. Someone finally untangled it but it gave us our first real laugh in weeks.
