But," as Polly Stevens had said, "we are instructed all day long in school, and a good deal out of school, too, for that matter; and what we need most is absolutely foolish recreation; the foolisher the better." Patty Fairfield and her dad were trying to decide for certain where to live -- whether New York City, where Mr. Fairfield was going to run his business, or out here in the suburbs where her cousins lived. But that Saturday afternoon meeting of the Tea Club developed into a merry frolic, with a cup of tea, which was often a figure of speech for chocolate or lemonade, at the close. There were no rules. The girls took pleasure in calling themselves unruly members. There were no dues, and consequently no occasion for a secretary or treasures. Patty continued to be called the president, but the title meant nothing more than the fact that she was really a chief favourite among the girls. No one was bound, or even expected to attend the meetings unless she chose; but, as a rule, a large majority of the club was present.
The fifth in the ‘Patty Fairfield’ series of children’s book by popular author Carolyn Wells, in ‘Patty in Paris’ Patty has finished school and her father is keen for her to continue her education at a finishing school. When the Farringtons invite Patty to spend a few months in Paris with them however, it is too good an opportunity to pass up and Patty jumps at the chance. There is plenty of fun to be had on the transatlantic voyage, and Patty finds herself fending off the attentions of every young man she meets. A delightful addition to the series, ‘Patty in Paris’ also provides a fascinating glimpse of early 20th century Paris. Carolyn Wells (1862-1942) was a prolific American novelist and poet, best known for her children’s literature, mystery novels and humorous verse.

Different men are of different opinions; some like apples, some like inions," sang Patty, as she swayed herself idly back and forth in the veranda swing; "but, truly-ooly, Nan," she went on, "I don't care a snipjack. I'm quite ready and willing to go to the White Mountains, --or the Blue or Pink or even Lavender Mountains, if you like." "You're willing, Patty, only because you're so good-natured and unselfish; but, really, you don't want to go one bit." "Now, Nan, I'm no poor, pale martyr, with a halo roundy-bout me noble brow. When we came down here to Spring Beach, it was understood that we were to stay here part of the summer, and then go to the mountains. And now it's the first of August and I've had my innings, so it's only fair you should have your outing." Though Patty's air was gay and careless, and Patty's tones were sincere, she was in reality making an heroic self-sacrifice, and Nan knew it. Patty loved the seashore; she had been there three months, and loved it better every day.

Pattykins, good-bye. The year will soon pass away, and then we'll have a jolly little home together," Patty Fairfield's father told her when he put her on the train. (She was going north to visit relatives for the year, while her fathersettled business here Virginia, where he'd come to make his fortune.) "Be brave and gentle always, and as a parting gift I give you this little box which contains a talisman to help you bear any troubles or difficulties that may come to you." As he spoke, he put into Patty's hand a small parcel sealed at each end with red sealing-wax. "Don't open it now," he continued. "Keep it just as it is until you reach Aunt Isabel's. Then after you have gone to your room on the first night of your stay with her, open the box and see what is in it." Then the warning whistle blew, and with a final embrace of his little daughter, Mr. Fairfield left the car. The train started, and for a moment Patty saw her father waving his handkerchief, and then he was lost to her sight. She felt just like indulging in a good cry, but Miss Powers (who was to travel with her till she reached her aunt) would have none of that.
