In P&M Nancy is totally dismissive of Dick's enthusiasm to help
Timothy with the analysis: "Just stinks". Also, the level of
ignorance that she claims for Peggy and herself, when trying to
convince Dick that the necessary equipment cannot be identified
without a burglary, seems extreme (but can perhaps be explained by the
author's need to make the plot convincing).
