I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good: Fred and George?

[alt_terry]

I need some help. I can't explain exactly but--see, I've got something I need to hide. Something I have to keep safe. No one must ever find it.

The problem with a pocket, even a hidden one is, well, if I ever get given back to Master, he doesn't let me keep anything. I wear rags he passes on to me, but he feels free to throw anything away at any time. He may insist his tidbit must feel cold in that jacket and give me another one and get rid of the first, or he may beat me well, a shirt gets all torn up, and then its gone the next morning. He doesn't want me to have anything I can call my own. That way I'm always dependent on him.

Can you think of anything that would work? It has to be a way to hide something, that I could keep always, but it would have to seem so small or unimportant that Master would never even bother with it.

Oh, good thought. You need either a thick sort of thread or a thin sort of yarn, but either will work.
