Tell us more about it, Fred."
Farrington renewed old acquaintances there, and also made new ones among the American colony. This meant pleasant associates for the girls, and they soon became acquainted with several American families. Indeed, the house next to their own, was occupied by an American family named Barstow, with whom the Farringtons soon made friends.
The Farringtons were quiet-mannered folk, and Patty had often noticed and admired the dignified yet pleasant manner which Mr. Farrington invariably showed to officials or to servants.
