Just Like an Old Case
Thatâs odd, I thought. âDid he leave a number where he could be reached?â I asked Hannah.
âNo. He just said he wanted to talk to you in person, Nancy,â Hannah said. âHe gave me his address with directions on how to get there.â
âJust a minute,â I said. I quickly took a notepad out of my purse. âGo ahead,â I told Hannah. I recognized the address right away. Henry Mead lives in one of the new estates with multimillion-dollar homes being built along the Muskoka River north of River Heights. They all have French names, and each estate is the size of three normal houses put together. âThanks, Hannah,â I said.
âWhatâs up?â Ned asked.
I told him about the message, then asked if heâd like to join me.
âSure,â Ned replied. âWho is this guy, anyway?â
âHeâs a friend of the family. He and Dad roomed together in college,â I said. âHe is a lawyer who specializes in wills and trusts.â
âSounds promising,â Ned said.
Ned and I got back into his car and headed for the highway that would take us to Mr. Meadâs house. It paralleled the river, so it was a beautiful drive.
It took us half an hour to get to the estates, then another fifteen minutes to find Mr. Meadâs address. This was the first time I had ever been in this particular development, and I was absolutely stunned by how huge the homes were.
There were several expensive cars parked in the long driveway that led to Mr. Meadâs house.
âDid Hannah say anything about a party?â Ned asked. âIs that why weâre here?â
âNo, she just said that Mr. Mead wanted to talk to me right away,â I replied.
âWhere should I park, Nancy?â Ned asked.
I looked around, trying to spot an open space near the front entrance. There was none, so I said, âJust pull up near the front door and wait. Iâll go find out what he wants me to know, and if itâs going to take more than a few minutes, Iâll call you on your cell phone. Okay?â
âOkay,â Ned said.
When Ned drove under the portico, I hopped out, ran up the marble steps, and rang the bell. Almost immediately the door opened, and a man dressed like a butler said, âYes?â
âIâm Nancy Drew,â I told him. âMr. Mead called and wanted me to come by. He said he had some information for me about the library clock that was stolen.â
I could tell by the look on the manâs face that he didnât know what I was talking about.
âWell, Iâm sorry, Miss Drew, but I honestly donât think . . .â
Just then I looked over the manâs shoulder and saw Henry Mead talking to a couple who looked as though they were about to leave.
âMr. Mead!â I called to him.
The butler looked aghast. âMiss Drew, please! This isnât the time toââ
âIs that Nancy Drew?â Mr. Mead called. He motioned to the couple that heâd be right back, then he headed toward the front door. âWell, this is a very pleasant surprise,â he said when he reached me.
