Talented and brilliant also, she held a powerful sway over the minds and actions of her schoolmates, and queened in the school right royally; but the cold, haughty pride which marred her nature failed to make her such a general favourite as her fiery, little adversary.
Colleville was the only son of a talented musician, formerly first violin at the Opera under Francoeur and Rebel, who related, at least six times a month during his lifetime, anecdotes concerning the representations of the "Village Seer"; and mimicked Jean-Jacques Rousseau, taking him off to perfection.
Fairfield often said; "good- natured and right-minded, as well as clever and talented." So, as he was also a favourite with Nan, he dropped in at the Fairfield house very often, and Patty grew to like him very much. The opera party had duly taken place and had been a pleasant success.
