If you mean by "Patience", Gilbert & Sullivan's opera "Patience", first produced in the 1880s, then yes, there are two roles eminently suited to a Mezzo, as Christine Thomas suggested.
Lady Angela is the bigger sing of the two, having a nice duet with the soprano in Act I. Both sing in a sextet in the Act 1 finale and a nice quintet in Act II
Both are good comedy parts for mezzos who enjoy to act.
Of course, if you're thinking of another "Patience", then ignore the foregoing.
Best wishes,
