10/7/2016 <strong>The</strong> <strong>Secret</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Old</strong> <strong>Clock</strong><br />
Before Nancy spoke again, she finished <strong>the</strong> delicious apple pudding which Hannah had made. <strong>The</strong>n she looked<br />
thoughtfully at her fa<strong>the</strong>r. "Dad, Mr. Rolsted is an old friend <strong>of</strong> yours, isn't he?"<br />
"Yes. An old friend and college classmate."<br />
"<strong>The</strong>n won't you please ask him if he ever drew up a will for Mr. Crowley, or knows anything that might solve<br />
this mystery?"<br />
"That's a ra<strong>the</strong>r delicate question, young lady. He may tell me it's none <strong>of</strong> my business!"<br />
"You know he won't. You're such good friends he'll understand why you're taking a special interest in this case.<br />
Will you do it? Please!"<br />
"I know you like to help people who are in trouble," her fa<strong>the</strong>r said. "I suppose I could invite Mr. Rolsted to<br />
have lunch with me tomorrow"<br />
"Wonderful!" Nancy interrupted eagerly. "That would be a splendid opportunity to find out what he knows<br />
about a later will."<br />
"All right. I'll try to arrange a date. How about joining us?"<br />
Nancy's face lighted up as she said, "Oh, thank you, Dad. I'd love to. I hope it can be tomorrow, so we won't<br />
have to waste any time trying to find ano<strong>the</strong>r will."<br />
Mr. Drew smiled. "We?" he said. "You mean you might try to find a hidden will if Mr. Crowley wrote one?"<br />
"I might." Nancy's eyes sparkled in anticipation.<br />
