Seated at the head of her own dinner table that evening, Patty felt / decidedly in her element. Always of a hospitable nature, always / efficient in household matters, she played her role of hostess with a / sweet simplicity and a winning grace that charmed all her guests.
Farnsworth, opposite her at the big, round table, was a quiet, dignified / and well-mannered host. He had not Patty's native ability to entertain, / but he was honestly anxious that his guests should be pleased and he did / all in his power to help along. Patty had coached him on many minor / points, for Little Billee had been brought up in simple surroundings and / unaccustomed to what he at first called Patty's frills and fal-lals.
