Patty at Home

CHAPTER IV
13/14

I'm so glad you decided on this house, papa.

Oh, isn't it lovely to have a home! It looks rather bare, to be sure, but, be it ever so empty, there's no place like home.

I do like a nice name for a place." "It has so many of those little boxwood Hedges," said Aunt Alice, looking out of the window, "that you might call it The Boxwood House." "Oh, don't call it a wood-house," said Uncle Charley.
"Call it the wood-box, and be done with it," Frank.
"I like 'Hall,'" said Patty.

"How is Boxwood Hall ?" "Sounds like Locksley Hall," said Marian.
"More like Boxley Hall," said Frank.
"Boxley Hall!" cried Patty.

"That's just the thing! I like that." "Rather a pretentious name to live up to," said Mr.Fairfield.
"Never mind," said Patty.
