Encyclopedia Brown And the Case of Pablos Nose (2011)
“Sally stopped. “Someone is in trouble.”
“Maybe it’s just a pooch beating its tail on the floor,” Encyclopedia offered hopefully.
“That’s thumping,” Sally said. “This is stamping. We’d better check it out.”
Encyclopedia wished Sally were a little less fond of checking things out. Professor Irvin, who taught American history at State University, was a smart man. He could take care of himself.

The detectives stepped inside.
“Professor Irvin?” Sally called. “Are you all right?”
The stamping grew even faster and louder.
Sally pointed to a closed door. “It’s coming from in there.”
She pushed the door open a crack, and then all the way.
Encyclopedia looked into a room walled with bookshelves. A woman sat in a chair in front of a desk. She was bound and gagged.
The detectives quickly freed her.
“Call the police!” she wailed. “Professor Irvin has been kidnapped!”MoreLess
