She was sometimes spoken about as the \"Little Princess of\u003cbr\u003eTower Hill,\" for Tower Hill was the name of her father's place, and Maggie\u003cbr\u003ewas his only child. The children in the village close by spoke of her with\u003cbr\u003egreat respect, and looked at her with a good deal of longing and also no\u003cbr\u003eslight degree of envy, for while they had to run about in darned and shabby\u003cbr\u003efrocks, Maggie could wear the gayest and daintiest little dresses, and\u003cbr\u003ewhile they had to trudge sometimes even on little bare feet, Maggie could\u003cbr\u003esit by her mother's side and be carried rapidly over the ground in a most\u003cbr\u003edelicious and luxurious carriage, or, better still, she might ride on her\u003cbr\u003ewhite pony Snowball, followed by a groom. The poor children envied Maggie,\u003cbr\u003eand admired her vastly, and the children of those people who, compared to\u003cbr\u003eSir John Ascot, Maggie's father, might be considered neither rich nor poor,\u003cbr\u003ealso thought her one of the most fortunate little girls in existence.\u003cbr\u003eMaggie was nearly eight years old, and from her very earliest days there\u003cbr\u003ehad been a great fuss made about her. At the time of her birth bonfires had\u003cbr\u003ebeen lit, and oxen killed and roasted whole to be given away to the poor\u003cbr\u003epeople, and Sir John and Lady Ascot did not seem at all disappointed at\u003cbr\u003etheir baby being a girl instead of a son and heir to the old title and the\u003cbr\u003efine old place. There was a most extraordinary fuss made over Maggie while\u003cbr\u003eshe was a baby; her mother was never tired of visiting her grand nurseries\u003cbr\u003eand watching her as she lay asleep, or smiling at her and kissing her when\u003cbr\u003eshe opened her big, bright blue eyes. The eyes in question were very\u003cbr\u003epretty, so also was the little face, and the father and mother quite\u003cbr\u003ethought that there never was such a baby as their little Maggie. They had\u003cbr\u003echristened her Margarita Henrietta Villiers; these were all old family\u003cbr\u003enames, and very suitable to the child of proud old county folk. At least so\u003cbr\u003eSir John thought, and his pretty young wife agreed with him, and she gave\u003cbr\u003ethe servants strict directions that the baby was to be called Miss\u003cbr\u003eMargarita, and that the name was on no account whatever to be abridged or\u003cbr\u003ealtered. This was very fine as long as the baby could only coo or make\u003cbr\u003elittle inarticulate sounds, but that will of her own, which from the\u003cbr\u003eearliest minutes of her existence Maggie had manifested, came fully into\u003cbr\u003eplay as soon as she found the full use of her tongue. She would call\u003cbr\u003eherself Mag-Mag, and would not answer to Margarita, or pay the smallest\u003cbr\u003eheed to any summons which came to her in this guise, and so, simply because\u003cbr\u003ethey could not help themselves, Sir John and Lady Ascot had almost\u003cbr\u003evirtually to rechristen their little daughter, and before she was two years\u003cbr\u003eold Maggie was the only name by which she was known.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079820001520,"sku":"2940014087162","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014087162_p0.jpg?v=1763600418","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014087162","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
