What happened to Thanksgiving?

All of a sudden, the girls heard a loud gasp coming from the kitchen.

“What was that?” Mary asked.

Nancy looked at Bess and George. “It was Hannah! Let's go see what's happening! Come on!”

Hannah Gruen was the Drews' housekeeper. She had been with the family ever since Nancy's mother had died five years before. Nancy was positive that Hannah was the best cook in River Heights. She was also sure that Hannah gave the best hugs.

When the girls got to the kitchen, Hannah was just getting off the phone.

“Are you all right?” Nancy asked.

Hannah turned and looked at them. “I just got off the phone with Mr. Madison,” she said sadly. “It looks like Thanksgiving won't be the same this year!”
