OF NOTE:

Cultural and historical references made in The Mardi Gras Caper:

New Orleans Mardi Gras - The holiday of Mardi Gras ("Fat Tuesday") has been celebrated in southern Louisiana and, particularly, in the city of New Orleans since the 17^th Century. Festivities, which include parades, actually take place during the two weeks before and through Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. In the final week, many events occur throughout New Orleans and surrounding communities, including parades and balls (some of them masquerade balls), centered on the Bourbon Street area of New Orleans.

Marie Antoinette - (November 2, 1755 – October 15, 1793) The queen of France during the reign of her husband, King Louis XVI. Following the deposing of King Louis during the French Revolution, she was eventually executed by guillotine.

Mr. LeBeau: "Yes, Chan, that ring belonged to Marie Antoinette."

Nancy Drew - A fictional American character in a mystery fiction series created in 1930 by publisher Edward Stratemeyer. The books are ghostwritten by a number of authors using the pseudonym Carolyn Keene.

Mimi Chan: "I mean (reading) grown-up stuff like Nancy Drew."

Underground Railway (Underground Railroad) - A network of secret routes and safe houses used by 19th-century escaped slaves in the United States in efforts to travel to free states and Canada with the aid of abolitionists and allies who were sympathetic to their cause.

Mr. LeBeau: The story is, it was a station for escaped slaves in the Underground Railway."

CHARLIE CHAN'S APHORISM:

As my son would say, "Wham, bam, someone's in a jam."
