CHAPTER V GOOD-BYES

At last the day of sailing came. The steamer was to leave her dock at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and soon after two Patty went on board, accompanied by Nan and her father.

A crowd of friends had also gathered to bid Patty goodspeed, and besides these the Farringtons had many friends there to say good-bye to them.

With the exception of Marian, it was not a sad parting. Indeed it seemed rather a hilarious occasion than otherwise. This was partly because most of the persons concerned felt truly sorry to miss Patty's bright presence out of their lives, and feared that if they showed any regret the situation might become too much for them.

This is the 5th in the series of Patty books, by Carolyn Wells. In this book, written in the early 1900's, Patty is done with school, and family friends offer to take her to Paris for 6 months. It's fun to read about Paris at that time, and all the adventures Patty has while there.

Patty goes to Paris with the Farringtons. Nice period piece of fluff, showing the era and French and American societies with a small bit of history and geography to boot.
