LITTLE WOMEN Louisa May Alcott.
书虫系列_Little Women
1.Four sisters'Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents,' said Jo crossly.'It's so awful to be poor!' agreed Meg, looking at her old dress.'It's not right for some girls to have pretty things, and others to have nothing at all,' said little Amy.'We've got Father and Mother,' and each other,' said Beth gently.The four young faces round the fire cheered up as they thought of this, but then Jo said sadly,' We haven't got Father, and we won't have him for a long time.' She didn't say 'perhaps never,' but each silently thought it, remembering that he was away at the war in the South.Then Meg said,' Mother says we shouldn't spend money on presents when our men are fighting a war.''We can't expect anything from Mother or each other,' said Jo,' but we only have a dollar each, and that won't help the army much. Let's each buy ourselves what we want, and have a little fun. We work hard to earn it.''I do, teaching those awful children,' said Meg.' What about me?' said Jo, 'I'm shut up all day working for a terrible old lady, who gives me different orders every five seconds!''I think washing cups and plates and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the world,' said Beth. 'My hands get too tired to play my music.''I have to go to school with girls who laugh at my dresses and say cruel things because my father isn't rich,' said Amy.'I wish we had the money Father lost when we were little, Jo,' said Meg.'I wish I was a boy,' said Jo.' Then I could go and fight beside Father!'Meg was sixteen and very pretty, with large eyes and soft brown hair, and white hands. Fifteen-year-old Jo was very tall and thin. Her long, dark－red hair was usually pushed up out of the way. Beth was thirteen, a very shy girl who seemed to live in a happy world of her own. Amy was the youngest, but thought herself to be the most important. She had blue eyes, and yellow hair which curled on to her shoulders.At six o'clock, Beth put a pair of slippers by the fire to warm and Meg lit the lamp. Amy got out of the comfortable chair without being asked, and Jo forgot how tired she was and held the slippers closer to the fire.'These are old, she said. 'Mother needs a new pair.''I'll get her some with my dollar,' said Beth.'No, I shall!' cried Amy.'I'm the oldest—'began Meg.'I'm the man of the family now Father is away, and I shall buy them,' said Jo.'Let's each get her something and not get anything for ourselves,' said Beth.'That's a kind idea!' said Jo.' What shall we get?'Everyone thought for a moment, and then Meg said, 'I'll give her a nice pair of gloves.''The best army slippers, said Jo.'Some handkerchiefs,' said Beth.'A little bottle of perfume,' said Amy. 'It won't cost much, so I'll have some money left to buy something for me.''We'll let Mother think we're getting things for ourselves, and then surprise her,' said Jo.Mrs. March arrived home soon after. She took off her wet things and put on her warm slippers. Meg made the tea, Jo brought wood for the fire, Beth was quiet and busy, and Amy gave orders.I've got a letter from Father!' cried Mrs. March.It was a letter to cheer them up, and the special message for the girls came at the end: Give them all my love and a kiss. I think of them every day. I know they will be loving children to you, and that when I come back, I will be prouder than ever of my little women.A tear dropped off the end of Jo's nose.Amy hid her face on her momer's shoulder. 'I'm selfish,' she cried, 'but I'll try to be better.''We all will!' cried Meg. 'I think too much about the way I look, and hate to work, but I won't anymore.''And I'll try to be a “little woman”,' said Jo, 'and not be rough and wild.'Beth said nothing, but she began to work hard at a blue army glove she was making.So the four girls decided that they would all try very hard to be good. They would never be cross, or lazy, or selfish-and they would all help each other. They talked over their plan that evening, while they made sheets for Aunt March. Then at nine o'clock they stopped to sing a song. Beth played the old piano, and Meg and her mother led the singing. Jo always sang in the wrong place, but the girls never got too old to sing together.2. A Happy ChristmasJo was the first to wake up on Christmas morning, but soon they were all awake and they went downstairs.'Where's Mother? 'asked Meg.'I don't know,' said old Hannah. She had lived with the family since Meg was born, and was more like a friend than a servant.' Some poor woman came to the door and your mother went off to see what was needed.''She'll be back soon,' said Meg. She looked at the presents for her mother which were in a basket under a chair, ready to bring out at the right time.' Where is Amy's bottle of perfume?'She went to put some pretty paper round it, I think,' said Jo.Suddenly, they heard the outside door close.'Here's Mother! Hide the basket, quick!' said Jo.But it was Amy. She came in quickly.'Where have you been, and what's that behind you?' asked Meg.'I ran to the shop and changed the little bottle of perfume for a big one,' said Amy. 'I spent all my money to get it, and I'm not going to be selfish anymore!' Meg smiled proudly and put her arms around her sister. Then there was another bang from the outside door, and the basket was pushed back under the chair. The girls ran to the table, ready for their breakfast.'Happy Christmas, Mother!' they shouted.'Happy Christmas, little daughters!' said Mrs. March.Then the smile disappeared from her face.' Girls, listen. Not far away is a poor woman, Mrs. Hummel, with a new baby. Her six children are in one bed, trying to keep warm, as they have no wood for a fire. There is nothing to eat and they are hungry and cold. Will you give them your breakfast as a Christmas present?For a minute no one spoke. Then Jo said, 'Mother, I'm so glad you came back before we began to eat!'And the girls quickly began to put their breakfast in a basket.'I knew you would do it,' said Mrs. March, smiling.She took the girls and Hannah to a cold, miserable little room in an old building, where they found a sick mother, a crying baby, and a group of children with white, frightened faces. The children were on the bed under a blanket, trying to keep warm.The woman almost cried with happiness when she saw the girls. Hannah, who had brought wood, made a fire. Mrs. March gave the mother tea and hot food, and then she dressed the little baby gently. The girls put the children round the fire and fed them like hungry birds.It was a very happy meal, although the girls ate none of it. But no one was happier than those hungry young ladies who gave away their breakfast on Christmas morning.Mrs. March was surprised and pleased when she saw her presents later. There was a lot of laughing and kissing and explaining. Then, for the rest of the day, the girls were busy. Jo liked to write plays, and the four of them were going to act one that evening. They had learned their words, and had worked hard to make strange andwonderful clothes for all the different characters in the play.On Christmas night, some other girls came to watch. At first, there was a lot of whispering and laughing from the four sisters behind the curtains. Then the curtains were opened and the play began.It was an exciting story about Hugo (acted by Jo wearing a black beard!), beautiful Zara and brave Roderigo. There were also two ghosts, a cruel king, and a tall castle made of paper and wool-which unfortunately fell down just as Roderigo and Zara were escaping from it. There were screams of laughter from everyone, but the actors picked them up and carried on through more dangers and mysteries until the happy ending was reached.All the visitors loved the play, and after the excitement and fun came a surprise for everyone.'Would the young ladles like to stay for supper?' asked Hannah.And when the girls saw the supper table, they could not believe their eyes! There was ice-cream, cake, fruit, and French chocolate! And in the middle of the table were flowers for each of the four actors.'Where did it all come from?' asked Amy.'From Father Christmas, perhaps?' said Beth.'Mother did it,' said Meg.Aunt March sent it,' said Jo.'You're all wrong,' laughed Mrs. March. 'Old Mr. Laurence sent it!''The Laurence boy's grandfather?' said Meg. 'But we don't know him.''Hannah told his servant about your breakfast party, and that pleased him,' said Mrs. March. 'He knew my father many years ago, and he sent me a note this afternoon, asking if he could send my children a few small Christmas presents.' 'The idea came from that boy, I know it did!' said Jo. 'I'm sure he wants to know us, but he's shy, and Meg won't let me speak to him when we pass him in the street. She says that it's not at all polite for young ladies to introduce themselves to strangers.'You mean the people who live in the big house next door, don't you?' said one of the other girls. 'My mother knows old Mr. Laurence. She says he keeps his grandson in the house when the boy isn't riding or walking with his tutor, and makes him study very hard. We invited the boy to our party but he didn't come.' 'That boy needs to have some fun,' said Jo.3.The Laurence boy'Look!' said Meg, excitedly, a day or two later.She waved a piece of paper at Jo. 'An invitation to a New Year's party at Sallie Gardiner's house, and it's for both of us. Mother says we can go, but what shall we wear?''Our best cotton dresses,' said Jo, 'because we haven't got anything else Yours is as good as new, but mine has a burn and a hole in the back.'Then you must keep your back out of sight,' said Meg. 'I'll have a new ribbon for my hair, and my new slippers. And my gloves are all right.''Mine are stained, so I’ll have to go without.''You must wear gloves to a dance, Jo!’ cried Meg.'Then we'll each wear one good one and carry a bad one,' said Jo.Meg looked worried. 'All right, but you will behave nicely, won't you? Don't stare, or put your hands behind your back.'On New Year's Eve, the two younger sisters watched the two older girls get ready for the party. There was a lot of running up and down, and laughing and talking. Meg wanted some curls around her face, so Jo began to work on the papered ends of Meg's hair with a pair of hot tongs.'Should they smoke like that?' asked Beth.'It's the wetness drying,' said Jo.'What a strange burning smell!' said Amy.'I'll take the papers off now,' said Jo, 'and you'll see lots of little curls.She took the papers off-and, to her horror, the burnt hair came off with them!'Oh, oh! What have you done to my hair!' cried Meg.'I always get things wrong,' said Jo unhappily. 'I'm so sorry. I suppose the tongs were too hot.'Don't worry,' Amy told Meg, who was crying. 'Just tie your ribbon so that the ends come on to your forehead a little, and it will look quite fashionable.' At last, Meg and Jo were ready and went off to the Gardiners' house where Mrs. Gardiner welcomed them kindly. Meg immediately began to enjoy herself with Sallie, but Jo wasn't interested in girlish talk and stood with her back carefully against wall, watching the dancing. Soon Meg was asked to dance, then Jo saw a big red-haired boy coming towards her and she quickly went through a door into a small room. Unfortunately, another shy person was already hiding there and she found herself looking at the Laurence boy'.'Oh dear, I didn't know any one was here!'Jo said.The boy laughed. 'Don't go. I came in here because I don't know any people, but I think I've seen you before,' he said, 'You live near us, don't you?''Next door, said Jo. 'We enjoyed your nice Christmas present.''My grandfather sent it, Miss March.''But you gave your grandfather the idea, didn't you, Mr. Laurence?I'm not Mr. Laurence, only Laurie,' he said.'And I'm not Miss March, only Jo,' she said. 'Do you like parties?'Sometimes,' he answered. 'I've been abroad a lot recently, and I don't know how you do things here.''Abroad!' said Jo. 'Oh, did you go to Paris?''We went there last winter.''Can you speak French?' she asked.He said something in French, and Jo listened carefully. 'You asked, “Who is the young lady in the pretty slippers?” It's my sister, Meg, and you knew it was! Do you think she's pretty?''Yes,' he said.' She looks so fresh and quiet.'This pleased Jo very much, and soon the two of them were talking easily, like old friends. 'I hear you're always studying hard,' said Jo. 'Are you going to college soon?' 'Not for a year or two,' he said. 'I'm sixteen next month, and I won't go before I'm seventeen.''I wish I was going to college, said Jo.'I hate even the idea of it!' said Laurie.Jo wanted to know why, but he looked so serious that instead of asking she said,' Why don't you go and dance?''I will if you'll come too,' he answered.'I can't because----' Jo stopped.'Because what?''You won't tell?''Never!''I've a bad habit of standing near a fire, and I burn my dresses,' said Jo. 'I have to keep still so that no one will see the burn on this one. Laugh if you like.' But Laurie didn't laugh. 'Never mind that, ' he said gently. 'Please come.'Jo smiled. 'All right,' she said. 'Thank you.'When the music stopped, they sat down and began to talk, but Jo saw Meg waving at her. She went over and followed her sister into a side room.'I've turned my foot over and hurt my ankle,' said Meg. 'I can't walk on it, and I don't know how I'm going to get home.''I'm not surprised you turned your foot over in those stupid high shoes,' said Jo. 'You'll have to get a carriage or stay here all night.''A carriage will cost a lot,' said Meg, 'and I can't stay here for the night because the house is full. I'll just rest until Hannah comes to fetch us, then do the best I can.' 'They're going in for supper now,' said Jo. 'I'll stay with you.'No, run and bring me some coffee,' said Meg.Jo found the coffee, but immediately dropped some down the front of her dress. She was cleaning it off with Meg's glove when a friendly voice spoke to her.'Can I help?' said Laurie. He had a cup of coffee in one hand and a plate with a cake on it in the other.'I was trying to get something for Meg, 'said Jo.'And I was looking for someone to give this to,' he said. He fetched more coffee and a cake for Jo, and then the three of them had a happy time talking together until Hannah arrived. Meg completely forgot about her foot and stood up quickly. Shecried out with pain, and when Laurel saw that she could not walk, he immediately offered to take them home in his grandfather's carriage.'But you can't want to go home yet,' said Jo.'I always go early,' said Laurie.He sat with the driver, and the two girls sat with Hannah inside the carriage and talked excitedly about the party.'I had a wonderful time, did you?' said Jo.'Yes, until I hurt myself,' said Meg. 'Sallie’s friend, Annie Moffat, has asked me to go and stay with her for a week in the spring, when Sallie does.'Jo told Meg her adventures, and then they were home. They thanked Laurie and went quietly into the house, hoping to wake no one. But as soon as they opened their bedroom door, two little voices cried out: 'Tell us about the party! Tell us about the party!'4.The house next door'It's so nice to go to parties and drive home in carriages.' said Mea, the next morning. 'Other people live like that all the time and I wish we could. I wish we were rich.''Well, we're not,' said Jo.' So we must do our work with a smile, the way Mother does.'Mr. March had lost most of his money helping a friend. When the two older girls discovered this, they wanted to do something to earn some money for the family, and as soon as they were old enough, they found work. Meg got a job teach ing four small children. It was hard for her to be poor because she could remember the time when their home had been beautiful, with everything they wanted. And every day at Mrs. King's house she saw pretty dresses, and heard talk of parties and the theatre-all the things which Meg loved.Jo went to Aunt March, who needed someone to fetch and carry things, and read to her. She was a difficult old lady who complained a lot, but Jo did her best.Beth was much too shy to go to school with other children, so she studied at home with her father. When he went away, and her mother was busy with war work, Beth continued to study by herself and helped Hannah keep the home tidy for the others. She also spent long, quiet hours alone, talking to her dolls or playing the old piano. Beth loved music and, although the family could not afford music lessons or a good piano for her, she tried hard to make herself a better musician.Amy drew the most beautiful pictures and wanted to be a famous painter one day. She was a favorite with everyone, except when she complained about having to wear her cousin's old clothes because her mother could not afford to buy new ones for her.One afternoon a week or two later, Jo went outside to clear the snow away from some of the garden so that Beth could walk there when the sun came out. She looked across to the house next door-a big stone house with lovely things inside that Jo occasionally saw through the open curtains at the windows. But it seemed a lonely, lifeless kind of house, as no children played outside, no motherly face smiled at the windows, and not many people went in and out, except the old gentleman and his grandson.She had not seen the Laurence boy lately and wondered if he was away, but suddenly she saw him looking out of an upstairs window .She threw up a handful of soft show and called out, 'Are you ill?'Laurie opened the window. 'I’m almost better, thank you,' he said. 'I've had a bad cold.''What do you find to do?' said Jo.'Nothing,' he said.' They won't let me.''Why don't you get someone to come and see you?''I don't know anyone.''You know us,' said Jo.'So I do!' laughed Laurie. 'Will you come, please?''I'll come if Mother will let me. I'll go and ask her. Shut the window and wait until I come.'Laurie was excited and began to get ready for Jo's visit. He brushed his hair and tried to make his room tidy. Soon after, he heard voices downstairs, then a surprised servant ran up to his room.There's a young lady to see you, sir,' she said.A moment later, Jo appeared with a box in one hand and Beth's three small cats in the other. 'Mother sends her love,' she said. 'Meg asked me to bring some of her cake, and Beth thought you would like to play with her cats. Isn't she funny?' Laurie laughed 'How kind you all are,' he said.'Shall I read to you?' said Jo.'I'd rather talk,' he said.'I can talk all day,' said Jo, smiling. 'Beth says I never know when to stop.''Is Beth the one who stays at home?''Yes, that's Beth. She's a good girl.''The pretty one is Meg, and the curly-haired one is Amy, is that right?' he said.'Yes. How did you know?'Laurie's face became red. 'I hear you calling to each other, and you always seem to be having so much fun. Sometimes, in the evenings, you forget to close your curtains and I can see you sitting round the fire with your mother. I haven't got a mother.'Jo saw the sadness in his eyes. 'Why don't you come over and see us? Would your grandfather let you?''Perhaps, if your mother asked him,' said Laurie. 'He spends a lot of time among his books, and Mr. Brooke, my tutor, doesn't live here. So I haven't anyone to go out with. Do you like your school?''I don't go to school. I go out to work-to my aunt's,' said Jo. She described the difficult old lady and made him laugh with her stories. She told him all about her sisters, the plays they acted, and their hopes and fears for their father. Then they talked about books, and Jo discovered that Laurie loved them as much as she did.'Come and see our library,' he said. 'Grandfather is out, so you needn't be afraid.''I 'm not afraid of anything,' replied Jo.He took her down to a room where the walls were covered with books and pictures.'You should be the happiest boy in the world!' said Jo, sitting in a big armchair and looking round.'A person can't live on books,' he said.Suddenly, a bell rang.Jo jumped up out of the chair. It's your grandfather!' she said.'What if it is?' said Laurie, with a smile. 'You're not afraid of anything, remember?''Perhaps I am a little bit afraid of him,' said Jo.The servant came in at that moment. 'The doctor is here to see you, sir,' she saidto Laurie.'Can I leave you for a minute or two, Jo?' he said.'Yes, I'm very happy here,' said Jo.He went away and Jo was staring at a large picture of the old gentleman when the door opened again without turning, she said, 'I won't be afraid of him, because he's got kind eyes, although his mouth looks hard and cold. He's not as handsome as my grandfather, but I like him.''Thank you,' said a deep voice behind her.She turned quickly-and saw old Mr. Laurence!Jo's face turned a bright red and she wanted to run away. But the old man's eyes looked kinder than those in the picture and seemed to have a smile in them.'So you're not afraid of me, eh?' he said.'Not much, sir.''But I'm not as handsome as your grandfather?''Not quite, sir.''But you like me.' He laughed and shook hands with her.'Now, what have you been doing with my grandson?''Trying to cheer him up, sir,' said Jo. 'He seems a bit lonely.''Then come and have some tea with us.'Laurie was very surprised to see Jo with his grandfather, but was soon talking and laughing happily with Jo. The old man watched the two young people and noticed the change in his grandson. 'She's right,' he thought. The boy does need cheering up.'After tea, they went into a room where there was a large and beautiful piano.'Do you play?'Jo asked Laurie.'Sometimes,' he answered.'Play now. I want to hear it so I can tell Beth.'So Laurie played and Jo listened. Afterwards, Mr. Laurence said, 'He plays quite well, but I want him to do well in more important things. Now, I hope you'll come again.' He shook hands with her. 'Goodnight, Jo.'Laurie walked to the door with her. 'He doesn't like to hear me play,' he said.'Why not?' said Jo.'I'll tell you one day,' he said.When Jo told the family of her afternoon's adventures, they all wanted to go and visit the big house.'Mother, why doesn't Mr. Laurence like to hear Laurie play the piano?' asked Jo.'Laurie's father married an Italian lady, a musician,' said Mrs. March. 'The old man didn't like her, and never saw his son after they were married. Laurie was born in Italy, but his parents died when he was a child, and his grandfather brought him home. Laurie loves music and I expect his grandfather is afraid he'll want to be a musician like his mother.'Laurie should be a musician if he wants to be,' said Jo. 'Sending him to college will just make him unhappy.'5. A surprise for BethLaurie and the four girls were soon great friends. Mr. Brooke complained to the old gentleman that his student was always running across to see the Marches.'Let him have a bit of a holiday,' said Mr. Laurence. 'He can catch up with his studies later.'What good times they had! Writing and acting plays, happy evenings at the Marches, and little parties at the big house. Only Beth was too shy to go there. When Mr. Laurence heard about Beth's shyness, he came to have tea with their mother one day, and began to talk about music and great singers he had heard. Beth found it impossible to stay in her corner and came to listen.'Laurie hasn't much time for his music, 'Mr. Laurence told Mrs. March, 'so the piano is not used very often. Would any of your girls like to play it sometimes? They needn't see or speak to anyone, and I'll be in my study.' He got up to go. 'But if they don't wan t to come…'At this moment, a little hand touched his own. It was Beth's. 'I-I want to come,' she said, her voice shaking. 'Very much.''You're the musical girl,' said Mr. Laurence, gently.'I'm Beth. Yes, I love music, and I shall come.'The next day, Beth waited until the old and the young gentlemen both went out, then she ran across to the big house and found her way to the room with the beautiful piano. As soon as she began to play, she forgot her fears immediately in the delight which the music gave her.After that, Beth went every day. She never knew that Mr. Laurence often opened his study door to hear her playing, or that Laurie stood in the hall to keep the servants away from the shy little girl. But she was so grateful that she asked her mother and sisters to help her make the old gentleman a pair of slippers. After several days careful sewing, the slippers were finished. Then Beth wrote a short letter and, with Laurie's help, left it with the slippers in the old man's study one morning, before he was up.The next day, Beth went out for a walk, and when she came back the others were waiting for her. 'Here's a letter for you, Beth!' they called out. 'Come and read it!'She hurried to the house and they took her into the front room. 'Look there!' everyone was saying at once. Beth looked-and got the biggest surprise of her life! For there stood a lovely little piano, with a letter on the top of it, addressed to: ‘Miss Elizabeth March'.'You-you read it, Jo,' whispered Beth. 'I can't.'So Jo opened the letter and began to read.'Dear Miss March,' she read, 'I have had many pairs of slippers but none which have pleased me so much as yours. I should like to thank you for your kindness by sending you something that once belonged to my little granddaughter, who died. With many thanks. I am your good friend, James Laurence.'Jo put an arm around her sister. 'Now try it, Beth,' she said.Beth sat down and began to play, and everyone thought it was the most perfect。

《小妇人》的主要内容概括
《小妇人》露易莎·梅·奥尔科特（美）一、导入《小妇人》是美国作家露意莎·梅·奥尔柯特的作品，也是她最著名、最成功的作品，这部著作是以美国南北战争为背景描述的，以一个普通家庭四个姐妹之间的生活琐事为蓝本的带有自传色彩的家庭伦理小说，第一次在1868年出版，曾经被改编成卡通、电影及电视剧。
小说受到当时的大思想家爱默生的影响，强调了个人尊严与自力的观念，下面就让我们一起走进小妇人的世界吧。
二、作者简介首先我们先了解一下作者，路易莎·梅.奥尔科特（Louisa May Alcott，1832－1888），美国作家。
她的父亲是一位自学成材的哲学家、学校改革家和乌托邦主义者。
他一生沉迷于对理想的追求，以至无力担负家庭生活。
维持生计的担子先是落到他的妻子身上，而后又落到他那富有进取精神的二女儿路易莎·奥尔科特，也就是作者的身上，路易莎到学校教过书，当过女裁缝、护士，做过佣人。
路易莎从小就热爱文学，在1868年，一位出版商建议她写一部关于“女孩子的书”，她便根据孩提的记忆写成《小妇人》。
书中的许多故事取材于现实生活，不过现实生活中的奥尔科特一家经济状况远不如她笔下的马奇一家。
出于作者意料的是《小妇人》打动了无数美国读者，尤其是女性读者的心弦。
三、内容梗概这部小说以家庭生活为描写对象，以家庭成员的感情纠葛为线索，描写了马奇一家的天伦之爱。
马奇家的四姐妹中，无论是为了爱情甘于贫困的梅格，还是通过自己奋斗成为作家的乔，以及坦然面对死亡的贝思和以扶弱为己任的艾美，虽然她们的理想和命运都不尽相同，但是她们都具有自强自立的共同特点。
描写了她们对家庭的眷恋；对爱的忠诚以及对亲情的渴望。
故事的主人公是四个姐妹，首先介绍大姐梅格，美丽，温柔，爱美，又有一点点小虚荣：去参加加纳德太太邀请的舞会，想要打扮自己，让乔用火钳给她烫头发，可是却把头发给烫掉了；要穿高跟鞋，但是鞋又有些挤脚，但是为了美宁愿痛苦啦。

I used to enjoy your tantrums, they were so funny; and I liked it when you flew at me and called me hard names, because I knew you didn't mean them. I fancy I was rather a tease, and you were very peppery, and we used to have some lively skirmishes. Don't you remember how you once shut me up in the dark closet?""Yes, and you got out at the window and broke your arm. I was so sorry, and so frightened; but you were a brave fellow, and didn't make much fuss about it.""Wasn't I, though? You were very kind to me, Jo, and helped me through my troubles, when, if it hadn't been for you and mother, I don't know what would have become of me. You were such a trump, and so good and patient with me, I can't think how I could have been so stupid and wicked as to deserve it all.""Don't say that, Beth. We all have our faults, and I'm afraid I've had as many as you, though they may be different. But we've got over them, and I think we're better for it, don't you?""Yes, I do, Jo. I'm so glad we were never apart. It seems to me that I couldn't have lived without you all, and yet I'm afraid I've been a great trouble to you sometimes. Now, I'll try to begin all over again, and be as good as I can. I want to do right, and be a useful person, and have a happy life, like you and mother.""And you will, dear, I'm sure you will. Only keep your little heart full of love, and it will always guide you right."The excerpt showcases the close relationship between the sisters and their conversations about their past mistakes and growing up.
