Nancy Drew 2011 Convention Clues #19

PEACOCK SUPERSTITIONS

In the classic Nancy Drew book #34, The Hidden Window Mystery, Nancy's motherly housekeeper Hannah Gruen notes, "You know some folks think peacocks, especially the feathers in their fan tails, bring bad luck."

We also learn in the book that marks in the fans are said to be evil eyes and that in India, peacocks are held to be sacred. Peacocks are also bad luck to actors--or so Sheila Patterson believes.
