In Chapter Six, Annemarie listens carefully to her father's telephone conversation. He seems to be speaking in code, making reference to the carton of cigarettes Inge will be bringing Henrik, plus all the other cartons he can expect to receive shortly. Annemarie knows cigarettes are in as short supply as cupcakes, and then she realizes that the "carton of cigarettes" her mother is bringing Henrik is a coded reference to Ellen.
