Which Reminds Me

Yes, in the fifth grade I was a fan of Nancy Drew mystery stories, of which the school library had a fairly complete collection, so I often could check those books out and read them, although I don't remember much about them now that childhood is long gone. I only remember that I enjoyed reading about Nancy Drew driving around in her snappy roadster. Also, when she changes clothing and puts on a new dress, it is called a "frock," a term that sounds a bit antiquated nowadays, at least I never heard anyone ever actually use that term in real life. It was probably one of those words that sounded cool in the 1930s, one would easily imagine.
