'''Agnes and Agatha Pitt''' are the young aunts of [[Samantha Parkington]], though their closeness in age means the three act more like cousins.

==Personality and Facts==

Agnes and Agatha are Cornelia's younger twin sisters and, while technically the young aunts of Samantha, are close enough in age that the girls relate to each other more like cousins. They have bright red hair and freckles.

They are lively identical twin girls who are full of new-fangled ideas, fun, and mischief. They tend to be a little rebellious, mischievous, independent, and break Grandmary's rules of proper behavior, and Samantha notes that they turn Grandmary's quiet house topsy-turvy. They are from New York City and know all of the latest trends in fashion, toys, and ideas. They are free spirits, impulsive, and happy-go lucky. Their ideas, while new, are not often practical, logical, helpful, and get them into trouble most of the time.

Agatha is much feistier. Agnes is scared about things in the wilderness like bugs, spiders, and fish in the countryside, though she's much braver in the city. Oftentimes the twins bicker between one another about ownership of ideas. They are often curious and always find themselves in places they shouldn't be. They have little respect for [[Eddie Ryland]], and Agatha doesn't mind fighting with him.

The two were in the wedding as bridesmaids, where Samantha was first introduced to them in the [[Short Stories|short story]] ''[[Samantha Saves the Wedding]]'' chronologically. However, in book release order they are first introduced in ''[[Happy Birthday, Samantha!]]''

==In The Books==

===''[[Happy Birthday, Samantha!]]: A Springtime Story''===

===''[[Samantha Saves The Day]]: A Summer Story''===

===''[[Samantha Saves the Wedding]]''===

===''[[Samantha's Blue Bicycle]]''===

[[File:Sambike4.jpg|thumb|200px|The twins excited at Samantha's riding and bloomers.]]
The twins are mentioned by Gardner over the phone; they are coming up with him and Cornelia one weekend to go cycling along with Samantha, and the girls are crackerjack riders.

When they arrive and see that Samantha is wearing bloomers, Agnes goes "Jeepers! Bloomers!" and Agatha sighs longingly that Samantha's lucky to wear them and she can't believe Grandmary let her do so.

===''[[Samantha: The Gift]]''===

The twins are briefly mentioned at first when Cornelia says that they find wearing bloomers makes bicycling much easier. Agnes is mentioned first by name as she's the one who sent her bloomers with Cornelia for Samantha to borrow so as to make riding her bicycle easier and was delighted to lend them. (This is a change from the original, where the girls did not own bloomers.)

After Nellie leaves back for the city to take care of her sisters while her mother is ill, Cornelia comforts Samantha in part by telling her about her three sisters. She describes the twins' looks and that they are identical twins, as well as Alice.

They are then introduced in the chapters that follow and cover the story ''Samantha Saves the Wedding.''

===''[[Samantha: Lost and Found]]''===

Agatha and Agnes are present in the same events as in ''Happy Birthday, Samantha!'' and ''Samantha Saves the Day'' (minus the first two chapters of ''Happy Birthday, Samantha!'' that have been removed).

===''[[Samantha: The Next Chapter]]''===

A now-adult Agnes has moved to Chicago, is married, and is expecting her first child; her younger sister Alice has moved nearby.

Agatha has taken up acting and is performing in summer stock theaters across the Midwest.

==In the [[Samantha: An American Girl Holiday|Film]]==

The twins are not cast in the movie. The name "Agatha Pitt" is used for Cornelia's young niece, who is the daughter of her sister Beatrice (an original character closer to her age); here, Agatha's characterization is similar to Cornelia's youngest sister from the books, [[Minor Characters in Samantha's Series#Alice Pitt|Alice Pitt]].

Agatha is to be the flower girl for Cornelia and Gardner's wedding. During the preparations, Agatha plays with Cornelia's wedding veil and while twirling it around, it brushes against the oil lamp under the metal hair curler and catches on fire from the open flame, causing her to scream in terror. Cornelia quickly puts the flame out, but the veil is ruined. Agatha tearfully apologizes to her aunt but the adults don't appear to blame her and are more relieved she is alright.

==Trivia==
* The twins live at 42 Park Avenue, New York City (''[[Samantha's Ocean Liner Adventure]]'')
* The twins are mentioned in ''[[Raquel's Journal]]'' in a portrait standing next to Samantha, but are unnamed.
