SIXTY MILES AN HOUR The Pattersons lived in a large beautiful white colonial house situated on the top of a large green terrace. In front of this mansion, stretched on either side of the white walk which led to the house, was a large velvet green lawn. On one side of the walk there was a white marble fountain.
