ANNE OF THE ISLAND (CHAP 10) PATTY'S PLACE

Welcome fellow story companions! In this episode of Anne of the Island, we delve into "Chapter X - Patty’s Place".  This chapter sees Anne and Priscilla embark on their exciting quest for a shared home for the next year with Stella Maynard, leading them to the charming, yet eccentric, Patty’s Place. You'll meet the formidable "grim and ancient" Miss Patty Spofford and her niece Miss Maria, who are preparing for an unexpected European adventure. Discover the fascinating trivia of the twin guardian deities of Patty's Place: two large, white china dogs with round green spots, named Gog and Magog, which are over a hundred years old and were brought from London by Miss Patty's brother Aaron fifty years prior.   We find that Miss Patty has some unique leasing conditions, prioritizing a tenant's genuine "love" for her home over mere financial gain.  This plays in Anne’s favor, ultimately securing the house for Anne and her friends, once they promise to adhere to the non-negotiable rule that the house must retain its beloved name, "Patty’s Place.”
