The Clue In The Old Stagecoach (1959) - Plot & Excerpts

Nancy is a hussy! That's right, I said it. I have suspected all along that she was only toying with Ned Nickerson's affection and in this book, it was confirmed. Nancy and her chums - Bess and George, are on vacation at a lodge. How very swank 1950s (I wish I could afford to go off to a resort for the summer in my convertible). Anyway, while they are there, they hang out with three boys not their usual dates. At one point, Ned calls and says he and Burt and Dave are coming to visit. Bess says something to Nancy about this as Nancy has been very chummy with one boy named Rick. They have been dancing together, taking moonlight walks that don't involve discussing a case. In reply to Bess, Nancy says something like oh never mind, it will all work out. So is she hoping that good old Ned will find out? Or does she know that Rick will leave just before Ned arrives (which he does - luckily for Nancy who can keep Ned in the dark about her other men and he will still be her lackey). Wow I'm being snarky today towards Nancy. The story unfolds, with Nancy stumbling onto yet another mystery. This one I didn't feel was as well written as the others. Maybe in the re-write in the 70s the editors left some scenes out. It just didn't seem to flow. I never really got caught up in the story - not like some of the previous ones.It was just lacking some excitement. A quick synopsis without a spoiler - Nancy is suppose to find an old stagecoach that has a hidden secret in it which hopefully will help a town build a new school which it desperately needs due to a sudden growth in population. (I suppose using taxes from all the new houses would be too simple). So Nancy and her friends set off to solve the case, but they seem to spend a lot of time doing other things, like dancing and doing water ballets. Well here's hoping that the next mystery that Nancy finds will be more exciting.
