Explore "Patty's Butterfly Days" by Carolyn Wells on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
As Patty expressed it afterward, she felt as limp as a jelly-fish with / the grippe when she saw Susan at the head of Mona's table! Mrs. / Hastings herself seemed in no way appalled at the sparkling array of / glass and silver, of lights and flowers, but she was secretly alarmed / lest her ignorance of etiquette should lead her into blunders that / might shame Miss Patty.
But Jack Pennington proved himself a trump. Without attracting / attention, he touched or indicated which spoon or fork Mrs. Hastings / should use. Or he gave her valuable advice regarding the viands.
