Answer:

Character sketch of Maggie.

Explanation:

Maggie exists the main character of the story "The Price of Flowers" authored by Prabhat Kumar Mukhopadhyay. Her entire name is Alice Margaret Clifford. She lives with her widowed mother in a poor neighborhood in London. Mr. Gupta, the narrator of the novel encounters her at a vegetarian café in London. Her curiosity in him makes him inquisitive. He makes friends with Maggie and reaches out to learn more about her.  

Maggie exists in her earlier teens while she works as a typist in a Civil Service store. Her dresses show her deprivation. She exists shy and reserved but Mr. Gupta slowly makes her open up. Her only brother exists in India serving as a British soldier. But they have not listened to him for a prolonged time. They are anxious about him.

During their discussion, Mr. Gupta questions whether she wants her work. She says she wants a career that is not automatic. This indicates that she exists enterprising. She exists brave at this tender age despite her obedient and courteous behavior.

When Mr. Gupta visits her house Maggie plays a song on the violin. From her mother, we know that she held no proper training in harmony because they could not afford harmony classes. She exists naturally gifted. Her passion and love for her mother and brother are truly good. When her mother falls ill she gets Mr. Gupta home and asks him if he could tell her an untruth to protect her life. When she says "please forgive me if it exists very very wrong," the reader exists touched by her integrity and regards sorry for her helplessness.

On the day of Mr. Gupta's departure, Maggie reaches to meet him. She shows the hard-earned one shilling to him to purchase flowers for her brother's grave. Her ultimate sacrifice out of the love for her brother is aptly mirrored in the title of the story "The Price of Flowers". Those blooms are truly invaluable.
