He said Mr. Miller, the man to whom I gave your manuscript, didn’t give any details, but he stressed he must see you personally.” “It’s almost five-thirty,” Nancy said. “The magazine office is probably closed now. I’ll have to go there first thing in the morning.” The following day, she set up an appointment to see Mr. Miller. “I’m going with you,” Bess insisted. “After what’s happened to you, I don’t think you should travel anywhere alone.” “Bess is right,” George agreed. “I’ll come along too. ” Nancy’s face creased into a broad smile. “With two bodyguards to protect me, I guess I ought to be fairly safe.” “And if all else fails,” her plump friend teased her, “we’ll call Ned to the rescue!” Aunt Eloise, who taught school, had already left so the visitors tidied the apartment before leaving for the office of Circle and Square magazine.
