Nate is in quite a dilemma. If he goes to Mrs. Godfrey’s room to get the book with such eagerness, Mrs. Godfrey might be suspicious and want to see what is inside (if there are drawings of her, Nate will get detention). On the other hand, leaving the notebook conspicuously in the middle of the room is just asking for someone to look in it (however, teachers don’t usually snoop in their students’ books but other students may).
