Patsy Carroll Under Southern Skies

Patsy Carroll is at her wits’ end with French verbs and a shortened Easter break, but a mischievous grin hints at a bigger scheme. She’s been plotting a surprise trip for her close‑knit group of friends—Beatrice, Mabel, and Eleanor—who think the holiday will be spent at home. With her father’s newly bought Florida land near Palm Beach, Patsy hopes to whisk the Wayfarers away for a sun‑splashed escape that feels like a secret adventure.

The girls’ banter, full of teenage humor and earnest yearning, sets a lively tone as they scramble to keep the plan hidden from parents and teachers alike. As the departure day looms, the promise of warm sands, orange groves, and the thrill of a clandestine journey fuels their imagination. Listeners will be drawn into the bubbling excitement of youthful scheming, the bond of friendship, and the anticipation of a first taste of freedom beyond their small town.
