My name's Andrew. Thanks for joining me.

Tonight, I'll be reading Nancy Drew and the Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keen.

Chapters 22 and 23.

In the previous chapters, Nancy attempted to sneak into the parked van of the robbers to retrieve Josiah Crowley's clock before notifying the police of their whereabouts.

After some investigation and a nearer miss with the criminals, she succeeded in finding it,

with the foretold notebook found inside.

After some speedy driving in her roadster, she was able to fetch the marshal who promptly arrested

the robbers. The marshal, however, then looked to take a ride back to town with Nancy,

and she was in danger of having him discover the clock

that she had secreted away on the front seat under a blanket.

Before we begin tonight's story, let's get ourselves ready for sleep.

Start by taking a deep, relaxing breath and settle your body

in whatever way feels most comfortable. Now let any thoughts of the day drift away from your mind and simply follow the sound of my voice.
