CHAPTER 9
The Christmas Ball
The day before Thanksgiving, Maggie went to the market with Hannah to pick up a few last-minute items. As yet there hadn’t been enough snowfall for the sleigh to be brought out of the carriage house. Maggie hoped they could take the sleigh to the ball. What fun that would be.
The streets around Faneuil Hall and Dock Square were elbow-to-elbow with holiday shoppers. That morning Maggie had helped Hannah butcher the chicken and turkey and dress them out. That night the fowls would be put on to boil.
“Let’s buy a sugarloaf and a few candies just for the fun of it,” Hannah was saying. “The little ones will enjoy a special treat.”
“So would I,” Maggie said with a laugh. “That is, if I can find room for candy after all those pies you’ve baked.”
“We’ll make one more stop in here, and then we will go to your father’s shop to see if he’s ready to drive us home.”
As she turned to follow Hannah into the shop, Maggie spied a small girl dressed in thin rags walking along the street. She immediately recognized Ann Cradock. Maggie wondered how the girl didn’t freeze with only her brown shawl as protection against the raw November wind.
Maggie drew her cloak more tightly about her and hurried into the warmth of the store. By the time they came out again, the girl was nowhere to be seen.
