Once again, I thought the Revised Text better. There aren't any continuity errors like there were with Walter Karig's OT. Helen Corning Archer is indeed married in this volume. I had forgotten that The Password to Larkspur Lane featured Helen as well as Bess and George; that had never happened before in the series.
Taking out much of the filler of the Original Text, "Carolyn Keene" added a subplot involving Helen's grandparents at their home on Sylvan Lake. Naturally, their favorite dates, Ned, Burt and Dave happen to be camp counselors across the lake at Lake Hiawatha and make several appearances. Of course, the second mystery Nancy gets herself involved in is tied to the first mystery of the elderly woman being held against her will in a shady sanitorium that happens to have larkspur growing on the estate.
