“More than full,” Mrs. DeFoe agreed. “But I’d like to have the staff start right away—that is, if the four of you will stay on as our guests?” Her eyes twinkled in the light of the lanterns, and her smile was wide as she added, “I can’t promise you as much excitement as you’ve had so far, but if you’d like to enjoy the beach and the fishing and exploring the treasure room, you are more than welcome.”
It was only a brief pang of regret that Nancy felt as she realized her island detective work had come to an end. Her next mystery, The Silver Cobweb, would be just as exciting.
She sought her father’s eyes for permission to accept the DeFoes’ invitation and was delighted when he nodded. Bess and George quickly added their agreement, hugging Nancy as they all made their way out to the welcoming sunlight.
