Explore "Patty in the City" by Carolyn Wells on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
On Friday afternoons the girls of the Oliphant school were required to read original papers which they had written through the week, and which were technically known as "Themes."
These Themes were Patty's special delight. Her more prosaic lessons she learned from a sense of duty, and also because of her ambition to achieve the prize which was to be given at Christmas to the pupil with the best general average of marks.
