Maggie Miller is a novel written by Mary J. Holmes. The story revolves around the life of Maggie Miller, a young and beautiful girl who lives in a small town. Maggie is a hardworking and ambitious girl who dreams of a better life for herself and her family. However, her life takes a turn when she falls in love with a wealthy man named Frank. Frank is handsome and charming, but he comes from a different social class than Maggie. Despite the opposition from their families and friends, Maggie and Frank decide to get married. The novel explores the challenges and struggles that Maggie faces as she tries to adapt to her new life as a wealthy woman. She must learn to navigate the complex social dynamics of high society and deal with the jealousy and envy of those around her. Maggie's story is a tale of love, ambition, and the pursuit of happiness in a world where social class and status are everything.Accordingly, when at four o'clock A.M. Maggie, who was partially awake, heard in the distance the shrill scream of the engine, as the night express thundered through the town, she little dreamed of the boxes, bundles, trunks, and bags which lined the platform of Hillsdale station, nor yet of the resolute woman in brown who persevered until a rude one-horse wagon was found in which to transport herself and her baggage to the old stone house. The driver of the vehicle, in which, under ordinary circumstances, Madam Conway would have scorned to ride, was a long, lean, half-witted fellow, utterly unfitted for his business. Still, he managed quite well until they turned into the grassy by-road, and Madam Conway saw through the darkness the light which Maggie had inadvertently left within the dining room!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
