Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Patty and her friend Mona live at the seaside for a couple of months while their parents are off and gone to various other locations. Mona, though rich, doesn't necessarily have the good taste and social skills that she should, so Patty is trying to be a good influence on her. With Patty around, lots of people come to visit the girls, and Mona is eventually inspired to have her very own "house party," which means that a whole bunch of people come to live with you for several weeks and you have lots of picnics and dances. Lots of social doings in this one, as well as the inevitable automobile mishap (really, Patty gets stranded quite a bit!), and Patty also meets Bill Farnsworth, who begins to play a much more significant role than the other young men who come and go in her life (although she tries very hard not to play favorites).

"Different men are of different opinions; some like apples, some like inions," sang Patty, as she swayed herself idly back and forth in the veranda swing; "but, truly-ooly, Nan," she went on, "I don't care a snipjack. I'm quite ready and willing to go to the White Mountains, - or the Blue or Pink or even Lavender Mountains, if you like." "You're willing, Patty, only because you're so good-natured and unselfish; but, really, you don't want to go one bit." "Now, Nan, I'm no poor, pale martyr, with a halo roundy-bout me noble brow. When we came down here to Spring Beach, it was understood that we were to stay here part of the summer, and then go to the mountains. And now it's the first of August and I've had my innings, so it's only fair you should have your outing." No library descriptions found.
