Nancy Drew and the Secret of Shadow Ranch Hints
I went back to Mary's Gifts to make a call, but I can't.
1 of 4: Nope, you can't.
2 of 4: Sorry.
3 of 4: After you get the scuffed stone polished by Mary Yazzie, your phone conks out, apparently because its overworked battery finally ran out of juice. This is just the game's way of keeping this part of the game exciting and thrilling and whatnot.
4 of 4: So if you want to make any further calls, you need to make them before you get the stone polished.
