Nancy exclaimed. “Will you find out if the coach’s first name is Nancy?” He promised to do this and then added, “You’ll be able to meet her Friday night. If she is Nancy Smith Drew, I won’t tell her about the inheritance. I’ll leave that for you.” Ned said he would call Nancy back as soon as he found out. “I won’t leave the house until you do!” she told him. It was an hour before Ned called back. “I didn’t learn much,” he reported. “Miss Drew was suddenly called away and she won’t return until just before the show.” Nancy was disappointed but knew she must be patient. After all this was Wednesday. Friday evening was not too far away. Ned changed the subject. With laughter in his voice, he said, “Who do you think is temporary coach? Burt Eddleton!” Nancy giggled. George Fayne’s date hardly seemed like the type to be coaching a Shakespearcan play. He was a blond, husky football player who was full of fun. “I can’t wait,” Nancy said. “Does Burt have a secret aspiration for becoming an actor after college?”
