"Nancy went to say hello to her tall, handsome father."

[crantz]

NANCY DREW, an attractive girl of eighteen, was driving home along a country road in her new, dark-blue convertible. She had just delivered some legal papers for her father.

"It was sweet of Dad to give me this car for my birthday," she thought. "And it's fun to help him in his work."

Her father, Carson Drew, a well-known lawyer in their home town of River Heights, frequently discussed puzzling aspects of cases with his blond*, blue-eyed daughter.

First three chapters: Two mentions of what could be Boston marriages if I want to take it that way, people telling Nancy incredibly useful information out of the blue, and awkward awkwardness in awkward ways.

Nostalgia goggles, don't fail me now!

*yes, the masculine spelling is in the book. May be a time period thing.
