To
outsiders
the
five
energetic
women
seemed
to
rule
the
house
,
and
so
they
did
in
many
things
,
but
the
quiet
scholar
,
sitting
among
his
books
,
was
still
the
head
of
the
family
,
the
household
conscience
,
anchor
,
and
comforter
,
for
to
him
the
busy
,
anxious
women
always
turned
in
troublous
times
,
finding
him
,
in
the
truest
sense
of
those
sacred
words
,
husband
and
father
.
The
girls
gave
their
hearts
into
their
mother
s
keeping
,
their
souls
into
their
father
s
,
and
to
both
parents
,
who
lived
and
labored
so
faithfully
for
them
,
they
gave
a
love
that
grew
with
their
growth
and
bound
them
tenderly
together
by
the
sweetest
tie
which
blesses
life
and
outlives
death
.
Mrs
.
March
is
as
brisk
and
cheery
,
though
rather
grayer
,
than
when
we
saw
her
last
,
and
just
now
so
absorbed
in
Meg
s
affairs
that
the
hospitals
and
homes
still
full
of
wounded
boys
and
soldiers
widows
,
decidedly
miss
the
motherly
missionary
s
visits
.

John
Brooke
did
his
duty
manfully
for
a
year
,
got
wounded
,
was
sent
home
,
and
not
allowed
to
return
.
He
received
no
stars
or
bars
,
but
he
deserved
them
,
for
he
cheerfully
risked
all
he
had
,
and
life
and
love
are
very
precious
when
both
are
in
full
bloom
.
Perfectly
resigned
to
his
discharge
,
he
devoted
himself
to
getting
well
,
preparing
for
business
,
and
earning
a
home
for
Meg
.
With
the
good
sense
and
sturdy
independence
that
characterized
him
,
he
refused
Mr
.
Laurence
s
more
generous
offers
,
and
accepted
the
place
of
bookkeeper
,
feeling
better
satisfied
to
begin
with
an
honestly
earned
salary
than
by
running
any
risks
with
borrowed
money
.
Meg
had
spent
the
time
in
working
as
well
as
waiting
,
growing
womanly
in
character
,
wise
in
housewifely
arts
,
and
prettier
than
ever
,
for
love
is
a
great
beautifier
.
She
had
her
girlish
ambitions
and
hopes
,
and
felt
some
disappointment
at
the
humble
way
in
which
the
new
life
must
begin
.
Ned
Moffat
had
just
married
Sallie
Gardiner
,
and
Meg
couldn
t
help
contrasting
their
fine
house
and
carriage
,
many
gifts
,
and
splendid
outfit
with
her
own
,
and
secretly
wishing
she
could
have
the
same
.
But
somehow
envy
and
discontent
soon
vanished
when
she
thought
of
all
the
patient
love
and
labor
John
had
put
into
the
little
home
awaiting
her
,
and
when
they
sat
together
in
the
twilight
,
talking
over
their
small
plans
,
the
future
always
grew
so
beautiful
and
bright
that
she
forgot
Sallie
s
splendor
and
felt
herself
the
richest
,
happiest
girl
in
Christendom
.
Jo
never
went
back
to
Aunt
March
,
for
the
old
lady
took
such
a
fancy
to
Amy
that
she
bribed
her
with
the
offer
of
drawing
lessons
from
one
of
the
best
teachers
going
,
and
for
the
sake
of
this
advantage
,
Amy
would
have
served
a
far
harder
mistress
.
So
she
gave
her
mornings
to
duty
,
her
afternoons
to
pleasure
,
and
prospered
finely
.

Jo
meantime
devoted
herself
to
literature
and
Beth
,
who
remained
delicate
long
after
the
fever
was
a
thing
of
the
past
.
Not
an
invalid
exactly
,
but
never
again
the
rosy
,
healthy
creature
she
had
been
,
yet
always
hopeful
,
happy
,
and
serene
,
and
busy
with
the
quiet
duties
she
loved
,
everyone
s
friend
,
and
an
angel
in
the
house
,
long
before
those
who
loved
her
most
had
learned
to
know
it
.
As
long
as
The
Spread
Eagle
paid
her
a
dollar
a
column
for
her
rubbish
,
as
she
called
it
,
Jo
felt
herself
a
woman
of
means
,
and
spun
her
little
romances
diligently
.
But
great
plans
fermented
in
her
busy
brain
and
ambitious
mind
,
and
the
old
tin
kitchen
in
the
garret
held
a
slowly
increasing
pile
of
blotted
manuscript
,
which
was
one
day
to
place
the
name
of
March
upon
the
roll
of
fame
.
Laurie
,
having
dutifully
gone
to
college
to
please
his
grandfather
,
was
now
getting
through
it
in
the
easiest
possible
manner
to
please
himself
.
A
universal
favorite
,
thanks
to
money
,
manners
,
much
talent
,
and
the
kindest
heart
that
ever
got
its
owner
into
scrapes
by
trying
to
get
other
people
out
of
them
,
he
stood
in
great
danger
of
being
spoiled
,
and
probably
would
have
been
,
like
many
another
promising
boy
,
if
he
had
not
possessed
a
talisman
against
evil
in
the
memory
of
the
kind
old
man
who
was
bound
up
in
his
success
,
the
motherly
friend
who
watched
over
him
as
if
he
were
her
son
,
and
last
,
but
not
least
by
any
means
,
the
knowledge
that
four
innocent
girls
loved
,
admired
,
and
believed
in
him
with
all
their
hearts
.
