"Hannah darling," said Nancy, almost on the verge of tears, "I'm afraid that telegram was a hoax!"

"A hoax!" Mrs. Gruen cried out.

"Yes. Dad's enemies sent it to keep me from meeting him!"

"Oh, Nancy," Hannah wailed, "You don't suppose those enemies that Mr. Gomber warned you about have waylaid your father and are keeping him prisoner?"

Nancy went to the train station to find any clues about her father's arrival. What did she find?

• A nurse told Nancy that she saw her father and then left her and went to work.

• A nurse told Nancy that she saw her father and then helped her question the cab drivers. One drove her father, but was afraid to talk because the bad guys threatened his family.

• Nancy interviewed several people coming and going in the terminal. IN the end, she didn't get any helpful information.

• Nancy ran into the conductor and asked about her father. He directed her to the gentleman that sold tickets in hopes that he had seen Nancy's father.

She was ready to grab at any straw to get a clue to her father's whereabouts!

Captain Rossland looked extremely concerned. "This is alarming, Miss Drew," he said, "but I feel sure we can trace that fellow with the crinkly ear and we'll make him tell us where your father is. I doubt, though, that there is anything you can do. You better leave it to the police."

Nancy said nothing. She was reluctant to give up even trying to do something, but she acquiesced.

in chapter 15, Nancy found a hidden passageway. What was it originally used for?

• It was to hide American treasure from the Redcoats.

• It was used by masters to eavesdrop on the slaves working in the kitchen

• It was used to sneak out of the house

• It was used to play hide and seek.

On the way to Twin Elms, Nancy saw Mr. Gomber leaving and started to follow him. She chase him to the next town and lost him in the traffic. What had he done at Twin Elms?

• He used the hidden passage to listen to Aunt Rosemary and Miss Flora in the kitchen.

• He tricked Miss Flora into signing the paperwork to sell the house by telling her harm would come to Helen and Nancy if she didn't.

• He sneaked into the house and stole precious valuables.

• He was mean and threatening to the older women to scare them into selling the property.

In chapter 17 everyone hears a noise, and Miss Flora points towards the attic. Nancy and Helen discover a door that opens to the roof. When Nancy climbs up, she has a great view. What does she see?

• She looks out across the land, but sees only that, the land and the house.

• She sees Nathan Gomber drive by again on the road that runs by the house.

• She sees a glimmer in a window of Riverview Manor which makes her think there may be underground tunnels connecting the two houses.

• She sees Officer Patrick arriving to patrol the grounds.
