In "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, Papa uses a code to inform Uncle Henrik that Ellen will be coming by saying, "The weather is nice for fishing." This phrase serves as a signal that Ellen is being hidden and that it is safe for her to stay with them. The code is a crucial element of their efforts to protect Ellen from the Nazis during World War II.
Annemarie realized her father was speaking in code when she overheard the conversation with her uncle, Peter. His choice of words and the way he referenced "the situation" hinted at a deeper meaning related to the dangers they faced. She noticed the tension in their voices and the urgency in their discussion, indicating they were discussing the protection of their Jewish friends, particularly her best friend, Ellen. This moment marked her growing awareness of the serious realities surrounding her family's efforts to help during the Nazi occupation.

When Mr. Rosen falls, he drops the package, but doesn't realize it. Annemarie runs it to Uncle Henrik. Later, Uncle Henrik explains that the package was a heinkerchief coated in cocaine and dried rabbit blood to mess up the German K-9s sense of smell when they tried to sniff Ellen out. She along with her parents and other Jews were concealed in a hidden compartment. Ellen made it to Sweden. The book doesn't say what happened afterward.
