The Triple Hoax
“While the other girls waited eagerly, she explained their plans and said she would like to join Nancy on her trip to Mexico. The Marvins readily agreed.
George phoned next, but she had a more difficult time getting permission. Mr. Fayne reminded his daughter that she had, indeed, used up her detective allowance.
“But Dad, this is very important!” George pleaded. “Would you lend me the money and after I get home, I’ll earn some and pay you back?”
Mr. Fayne chuckled. “You’re working hard now. How... would it be if you got paid for being a detective?”
“No, Dad. If I accept money for my work, it would take me out of the amateur class. And I know Mr. Drew wouldn’t like that. Besides, I couldn’t work with Nancy and Bess any longer.”
“Okay, you’ve convinced me,” Mr. Fayne said fondly. He promised to raise her allowance to pay for the trip. “But be sure you solve the mystery!” he teased.
George laughed. “With Nancy carrying the ball we won’t fail.”
As soon as the girls had finished their calls, Nancy contacted her father and told him about the proposed trip to Mexico City.MoreLess
