Eleven-year-old Henrietta Macpherson cannot seem to do anything right. Her loving but stern father is so disappointed in her wilful response to the beautiful gift from cousin John Alex that he puts it aside until Henrietta is older and also forbids her to attend the skating party in John Alex’s honor.
He calmly points out that both John Alex and he ‘have frequent dealings with people who think too much of themselves, and we don’t want you to be one of them….’ John Alex agrees, Henrietta has a temper tantrum, and that is the end of that.
Even though her maid Becky does the best she can with her unruly charge, Henrietta does manage to slip out of her room during the party, and she sees a waif-like child watching the skating party from behind a bush.
From that moment the orphaned servant girl, Sarah, fills Henrietta’s thoughts and life through adventures with a secret desk compartment, fairs, a circus, and more....

I've been re-reading my childhood books and then donating them. This is historical fiction and when I was 11 I was mesmerized.
