Mystery At the Ski Jump
“But Nancy’s thoughts were far away. She kept wondering about R. I. Channing and whether her hunch was correct. Was Mitzi Channing’s husband really in Montreal? Was he the mystery jumper?
“Maybe I should have tried harder to find him,” she chided herself.
The ski instructor noticed her faraway look. When they reached their destination, he said: “Time for class! Suppose you take off from here. I want to watch you do parallel turns down the practice slope.”
Nancy gave a quick shove with her poles ...and glided away.
“Not bad. Not bad at all!” Chuck called as she completed her trial run. “You have self-confidence and a fine sense of balance. Have you ever done any wedeln?”
“Yes,” Nancy admitted. “But not very well.”
