"Now this is the way to spend the day,” Nancy Drew said with a contented sigh as she put down her cup of hot chocolate. She leaned back on the sofa and smiled at her friends.

It was a damp, cold Sunday afternoon. Rain splattered the windowpanes, and the wind howled around the corners of the house, but inside Nancy’s living room it was warm and cozy. A fire crackled merrily in the grate, and a bowl of red tulips on the mantel made a cheery contrast to the greyness outside.

Nancy and her best friends, Bess Marvin and George Fayne, were just finishing a late brunch and reading the Sunday River Heights Morning Record. George was curled up at the other end of the sofa reading about a tennis tournament. In the easy chair closest to the fire, Bess was absent-mindedly munching grapes and twisting a lock of her long blond hair as she pored over the Personals column.

“Any news out in the real world, Nan?” asked George, not really expecting an answer.

“Not much, at least not in River Heights. There’s a front-page article about a bird’s nest in the lobby of City Hall. It’s been a slow weekend, I guess—kind of nice for a change.”

“You can have the Personals when I’m done,” Bess said. “There are all kinds of great things in here. I don’t know why you read anything else. To me, the paper is the Personals column.”

Nancy shook her head. “I never let myself read the good sections until I finish the news. It would be like having dessert before the rest of the meal.”

“Speaking of dessert,” Bess said, “is there any of that coffeecake left?”

George peered over the top of the sports section. “You seem to be putting those grapes away pretty fast,” she said.

Bess snorted. “Health food! If I have to start a diet tomorrow, I might as well have a good time today.”

Nancy grinned as she pushed the last piece of coffee cake in Bess’s direction. “Well, since you start a new diet every day, you might as well eat this and get temptation out of your way.”

“Oh, don’t make fun of me,” Bess said. “If I had a figure like yours, I’d be nicer to all the poor girls who have to think about their weight.”

There was nothing wrong with Bess’s figure, but Nancy didn’t bother arguing with her. She knew it was hopeless. In all the time she had known Bess and Bess’s cousin, George, Bess never stopped complaining about her weight. But she had never managed to stick to a diet for more than a couple of hours.
