1. Bess looking wistfully at the maraschino cherry which obstinately remained in the bottom of her glass.
2. Asa Sidney gave a mirthless laugh."The only reason I have lived to be a hundred is because I have not died"
3. "Promise me", he said, cupping Nancy's chin in his hand,"that you won't disappear again."

My Review :
There is mystery of why Asa has left so much money to a girl who used to take care of him in his inn and also as to why the family members has isolated Asa and no ones cares for him. There is a family feud which is the baseline for the story and as Nancy and his Father helps Asa with his new will , other families start to dislike them and friendship among Bess, George , Nancy also falls under stake.
At end every thing gets resolved and they could recover the items which the Jermitt stole from Asa. Also the reason is found as to why Asa liked Carol so much and family feud comes to rest and every one are happy at end.
I liked the story and its content. Facts are layed out rightly and eventhough you can suspect what might be the reason and who is stealing the things from Asa but because of the storyline , you enjoy it till the end.
Nice story where Nancy , Bess, George, Ned actively participate.
