Nancy's Mysterious Letter
“DREW was waiting for Nancy in the kitchen and she thought she detected relief in his expression.
“Dad, were you worried about me?”

Mr. Drew held up his hand to interrupt. “For Pete’s sake, Nancy,” he said, “please take off your heavy clothes and we’ll sit down at the table.MoreLess
