“Nancy, if you haven’t planned anything special for the day, I wonder if you would care to do
something for me?” asked Carson Drew one morning at the breakfast table.
“Why, of course, Dad,” Nancy agreed. “What is it?”
“I have a number of legal documents which must be handed over to Judge Hartgrave at
Masonville some time before noon. I would take them myself, but I have several important
appointments this morning.”
“I’ll be glad to do it for you,” Nancy replied. “I can drive to Masonville. It is not more than
fifteen miles away.”
“Fine. That means a lot to me. Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“It’s such a wonderful day, I’ll enjoy the trip.”
Mr. Drew came up to the window and looked out.
“It is a bright day, but I can’t say I like those clouds in the west, Nancy. I’m afraid it may rain.
You know how quickly our storms come up.”
“I’ll start immediately then. Where are the documents?”
“At the office. We can drive there together.” Nancy quickly ran off to get her bag. Before
Mr. Drew had got his gloves and hat from the hall, she had backed the car from the garage
and was waiting for him in front of the house.
“I haven’t heard you mention the Crawley case lately,” Mr. Drew commented as they drove
along.
Nancy’s face changed, showing signs of worry.
“I must admit I have made no progress. I guess I’m not talented enough to become
a detective.”
“Don’t give up, Nancy. The Crawley case would make a professional feel lost.”
“I haven’t given it up yet, father. I still hope I’ll find some answers one of these days.”
When they reached the law office, Nancy stopped the car and her father got out.
He disappeared inside the building and, returning a few minutes later, placed a fat envelope
in Nancy’s hand.
“Give this to Judge Hartgrave. You know where to find him?”
“Yes, I’ll have no trouble in finding his office.”
Nancy decided to take the shortest route to Masonville. As she was driving, her eyes
travelled to the fields on either side of the road. Like a true daughter of the Mid West, Nancy
Drew was proud of how wonderful her state was. She looked at the rolling hills and the wide
prairie land, as well as the fields of green corn waving in the wind. Nothing could be more
beautiful.
More than once Nancy looked up at the sky. The sun was shining very brightly on the road,
but a large black cloud was coming from the west. It did not appear to be approaching very
fast, and Nancy told herself that there was no need to worry about the storm.
“It won’t rain for an hour or two, and by that time I’ll be home,” she thought.
