Note
One form does double duty here: they fared well in the simple past, they had fared well after have. In current use it reports how someone got along, so it nearly always wants a manner word: fared well, fared badly, fared better. Older writing also uses it for traveling and for dining, and impersonally: it fared ill with them, meaning things went badly for them.
