Nancy was smiling to herself and delighted that Marty King had left her father’s employ.
“Nancy dear, I may as well tell you the whole story,” her father went on. “I’m embarrassed about it, but what brought on my asking Marty to leave was”—there was a long pause—“when Marty asked me to marry her!”
Nancy took a deep breath. For a couple of seconds she was not sure what to say to her father. This was a situation which she had never encountered before. Finally she decided to make light of the whole matter.
“Dad,” she said, “if you ever want to find me a new mother, please promise me she won’t be someone who tries to solve my mysteries!”
Her father laughed heartily. “I promise,” he said.
