Mr. Dussell comes

In the next chunk I read Anne talks about Mr. Dussell. Mr. Dussell is a dentist who's wife happens to be out of country. She describes him as surprised that they are still in the country having given everyone the idea that they had gone out of the country. He shares a room with Anne who though is a bit reluctant agrees to it. She finds the time Mr. Dussell gets up as way too early and is Annoyed at him for waking her up with all his racket.
The next bit Anne talks about feeling guilty and her relationships with the people there. She feels guilty about having a place where she is safe while all the other Jews are marched away. She also finds the way the radio talks about Jews annoying. She says that it sounds as if they were talking about cockroaches and not Jews. Her relationship with her family and the Van Daans to be shaky. As both Peter and Margot are quiet she is the main target for the grown ups harsh words. She says she can't bear the way they talk about her being childish in everything she does.
