Interestingly, I would say that the tension in the book is from a feeling amongst the adults that Nancy hasn't grown up when she should have done (whereas in fact, Nancy has matured considerably, but is not confined by the mores of her Great Aunt's generation, nor even by those of the much more liberal-minded adults who generally populate the place. She is still the rebel, just a maturing one with marginally more adult responsibilities and thought processes than in previous books.
