A Chance Meeting
“Don’t forget your luncheon engagement with Mr. Rolsted,” Nancy Drew reminded her father the next morning at the breakfast table.
“I’ll telephone him the first thing after I reach my office,” Carson Drew promised. “But again I warn you not to anticipate startling news.”
“I won’t, father,” Nancy laughed. “But if I should happen to learn something which has a bearing on the missing will, I won’t be exactly disappointed.”
“What are your plans for the day, Nancy?”
“Oh, nothing special. I thought I would do a little shopping this morning. And I am invited to a party one of the girls is giving in the afternoon.”
“Then you are too busy to take luncheon with me.”
“Oh, father, you know I’ve just been dying for an invitation!” Nancy declared, her eyes dancing. “I’m so anxious to learn something about that will!”
“All right, if you have time, drop in at my office about twelve-thirty. Mr. Rolsted may not accept my invitation, but if he does, we’ll try to find out something about Josiah Crowley. Of course I don’t need to warn you not to appear too eager for information.”
“I’ll let you do all the talking,” Nancy told him. “I’ll just keep my ears open.”
