“Menyebalkan!” kata Priscilla. “Keterlaluan!” kata Conny. “Kurang ajar!” kata Patty. “Beraninya mereka memisahkan kita setelah tiga tahun kita bersama-sama...” “Dan rasanya kita tidak terlalu nakal tahun kemarin. Banyak gadis lain yang mendapat lebih banyak nilai pelanggaran.” “Kenakalan kita memang agak mencolok saja,” Patty mengakui. “Tapi kita berkelakuan sangat baik selama tiga minggu terakhir,” sergah Conny. *** Ya, Patty dan kedua sahabatnya Connie Wilder dan Priscilla memang memiliki reputasi sebagai gadis-gadis yang bandel di asrama SMA St. Ursula, AS.

"It's an outrage!" said Conny. "It's an insult!" said Patty. "To separate us now after we've been together three years-" "And it isn't as though we were awfully bad last year. Lots of girls had more demerits." "Only our badness was sort of conspicuous," Patty admitted. "But we were very good the last three weeks," reminded Conny. "And you should see my new room-mate!" wailed Priscilla. "She can't be any worse than Irene McCullough." "She is!-Her father's a missionary, and she was brought up in China. Her name is Keren-happuch Hersey, after Job's youngest daughter. And she doesn't think it's funny!"
“Just Patty” is a 1911 novel by American writer Jean Webster. Her sixth novel, it is a prequel to “When Patty Went to College” (1903) which chronicles the early years of the life of Patty Wyatt, an outgoing, lively girl with a distinctly individual character. “Jean Webster” is the pseudonym of Alice Jane Chandler Webster (1876 – 1916), an American writer who authored many well-known books including “Daddy-Long-Legs” and “Dear Enemy”. Her most famous works are often characterised by powerful, likeable young female main characters who experience a maturation and intellectual coming-of-age morally and socially. Including witty humour, snappy dialogue, and social commentary, her works are still read and enjoyed by readers today the world over. “Just Patty” constitutes a must-read for those who have read other books in the series, and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Webster's wonderful work. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
