Explore "Patty in Paris" by Carolyn Wells on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The afternoon was devoted to the gardens and the Trianons.
Elise was enraptured with the garden, but Patty, while she admired them / very much, thought them too stiff and formal for her taste. Laid out, / as they are, according to the laws of geometrical symmetry, it seemed / to Patty that grace and beauty were sacrificed to squares and straight / lines.
