{"product_id":"2940013946989","title":"The Eagle's Shadow [Illustrated]","description":"• Table of contents with working links to chapters is included\u003cbr\u003e• The book has been corrected for spelling and grammatical errors\u003cbr\u003e• Illustrated book\u003cbr\u003eThis is the story of Margaret Hugonin and of the Eagle. And with your\u003cbr\u003epermission, we will for the present defer all consideration of the\u003cbr\u003ebird, and devote our unqualified attention to Margaret.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have always esteemed Margaret the obvious, sensible, most\u003cbr\u003eappropriate name that can be bestowed upon a girl-child, for it is a\u003cbr\u003ename that fits a woman--any woman--as neatly as her proper size in\u003cbr\u003egloves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the first point I wish to make is that a woman-child, once\u003cbr\u003ebaptised Margaret, is thereby insured of a suitable name. Be she grave\u003cbr\u003eor gay in after-life, wanton or pious or sullen, comely or otherwise,\u003cbr\u003ethere will be no possible chance of incongruity; whether she develop a\u003cbr\u003etaste for winter-gardens or the higher mathematics, whether she take\u003cbr\u003eto golf or clinging organdies, the event is provided for. One has only\u003cbr\u003eto consider for a moment, and if among a choice of Madge, Marjorie,\u003cbr\u003eMeta, Maggie, Margherita, Peggy, and Gretchen, and countless\u003cbr\u003eothers--if among all these he cannot find a name that suits her to a\u003cbr\u003eT--why, then, the case is indeed desperate and he may permissibly\u003cbr\u003efall back upon Madam or--if the cat jump propitiously, and at his own\u003cbr\u003eperil--on Darling or Sweetheart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second proof that this name must be the best of all possible names\u003cbr\u003eis that Margaret Hugonin bore it. And so the murder is out. You may\u003cbr\u003esuspect what you choose. I warn you in advance that I have no part\u003cbr\u003ewhatever in her story; and if my admiration for her given name appear\u003cbr\u003esomewhat excessive, I can only protest that in this dissentient world\u003cbr\u003eevery one has a right to his own taste. I knew Margaret. I admired\u003cbr\u003eher. And if in some unguarded moment I may have carried my admiration\u003cbr\u003eto the point of indiscretion, her husband most assuredly knows all\u003cbr\u003eabout it, by this, and he and I are still the best of friends. So you\u003cbr\u003eperceive that if I ever did so far forget myself it could scarcely\u003cbr\u003ehave amounted to a hanging matter.","brand":"Unforgotten Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068921790704,"sku":"2940013946989","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013946989_p0.jpg?v=1763597785","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013946989","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
