Today is Wednesday.

Whereupon Bloom lifted down the suitcase. Pippi said to them that she hoped they didn’t have anything against her taking it back, getting out of bed and stepping over to Bloom. Bloom had no idea how it all happened, but suddenly the suitcase was in Pippi’s hand. Thunder Karlsson asked Pippi to hand over the suitcase and he took Pippi firmly by the hand and tried to snatch back the booty. Pippi lifted Thunder Karlsson up on the wardrobe. A moment later she had Bloom up there too. Then the tramps were frightened; they began to see that Pippi was no ordinary girl. However, the suitcase tempted them so much they forgot their fright. Thunder Karlsson yelled and they both jumped down from the wardrobe and threw themselves on Pippi, who had the suitcase in her hand. Pippi gave each one a little poke with her finger, and they shrank away into a corner. Before they had a chance to get up again, Pippi had fetched a rope and quick as a flash had bound the arms and legs of both burglars.
