Being
only
‘
a
glorious
human
boy
’
,
of
course
he
frolicked
and
flirted
,
grew
dandified
,
aquatic
,
sentimental
,
or
gymnastic
,
as
college
fashions
ordained
,
hazed
and
was
hazed
,
talked
slang
,
and
more
than
once
came
perilously
near
suspension
and
expulsion
.
But
as
high
spirits
and
the
love
of
fun
were
the
causes
of
these
pranks
,
he
always
managed
to
save
himself
by
frank
confession
,
honorable
atonement
,
or
the
irresistible
power
of
persuasion
which
he
possessed
in
perfection
.
In
fact
,
he
rather
prided
himself
on
his
narrow
escapes
,
and
liked
to
thrill
the
girls
with
graphic
accounts
of
his
triumphs
over
wrathful
tutors
,
dignified
professors
,
and
vanquished
enemies
.
The
‘
men
of
my
class
’
,
were
heroes
in
the
eyes
of
the
girls
,
who
never
wearied
of
the
exploits
of
‘
our
fellows
’
,
and
were
frequently
allowed
to
bask
in
the
smiles
of
these
great
creatures
,
when
Laurie
brought
them
home
with
him
.
Amy
especially
enjoyed
this
high
honor
,
and
became
quite
a
belle
among
them
,
for
her
ladyship
early
felt
and
learned
to
use
the
gift
of
fascination
with
which
she
was
endowed
.
Meg
was
too
much
absorbed
in
her
private
and
particular
John
to
care
for
any
other
lords
of
creation
,
and
Beth
too
shy
to
do
more
than
peep
at
them
and
wonder
how
Amy
dared
to
order
them
about
so
,
but
Jo
felt
quite
in
her
own
element
,
and
found
it
very
difficult
to
refrain
from
imitating
the
gentlemanly
attitudes
,
phrases
,
and
feats
,
which
seemed
more
natural
to
her
than
the
decorums
prescribed
for
young
ladies
.
They
all
liked
Jo
immensely
,
but
never
fell
in
love
with
her
,
though
very
few
escaped
without
paying
the
tribute
of
a
sentimental
sigh
or
two
at
Amy
’
s
shrine
.
And
speaking
of
sentiment
brings
us
very
naturally
to
the
‘
Dovecote
’
.
That
was
the
name
of
the
little
brown
house
Mr
.
Brooke
had
prepared
for
Meg
’
s
first
home
.
Laurie
had
christened
it
,
saying
it
was
highly
appropriate
to
the
gentle
lovers
who
‘
went
on
together
like
a
pair
of
turtledoves
,
with
first
a
bill
and
then
a
coo
’
.
It
was
a
tiny
house
,
with
a
little
garden
behind
and
a
lawn
about
as
big
as
a
pocket
handkerchief
in
the
front
.
Here
Meg
meant
to
have
a
fountain
,
shrubbery
,
and
a
profusion
of
lovely
flowers
,
though
just
at
present
the
fountain
was
represented
by
a
weather
-
beaten
urn
,
very
like
a
dilapidated
slopbowl
,
the
shrubbery
consisted
of
several
young
larches
,
undecided
whether
to
live
or
die
,
and
the
profusion
of
flowers
was
merely
hinted
by
regiments
of
sticks
to
show
where
seeds
were
planted
.
But
inside
,
it
was
altogether
charming
,
and
the
happy
bride
saw
no
fault
from
garret
to
cellar
.
To
be
sure
,
the
hall
was
so
narrow
it
was
fortunate
that
they
had
no
piano
,
for
one
never
could
have
been
got
in
whole
,
the
dining
room
was
so
small
that
six
people
were
a
tight
fit
,
and
the
kitchen
stairs
seemed
built
for
the
express
purpose
of
precipitating
both
servants
and
china
pell
-
mell
into
the
coalbin
.
But
once
get
used
to
these
slight
blemishes
and
nothing
could
be
more
complete
,
for
good
sense
and
good
taste
had
presided
over
the
furnishing
,
and
the
result
was
highly
satisfactory
.
There
were
no
marble
-
topped
tables
,
long
mirrors
,
or
lace
curtains
in
the
little
parlor
,
but
simple
furniture
,
plenty
of
books
,
a
fine
picture
or
two
,
a
stand
of
flowers
in
the
bay
window
,
and
,
scattered
all
about
,
the
pretty
gifts
which
came
from
friendly
hands
and
were
the
fairer
for
the
loving
messages
they
brought
.
I
don
’
t
think
the
Parian
Psyche
Laurie
gave
lost
any
of
its
beauty
because
John
put
up
the
bracket
it
stood
upon
,
that
any
upholsterer
could
have
draped
the
plain
muslin
curtains
more
gracefully
than
Amy
’
s
artistic
hand
,
or
that
any
store
-
room
was
ever
better
provided
with
good
wishes
,
merry
words
,
and
happy
hopes
than
that
in
which
Jo
and
her
mother
put
away
Meg
’
s
few
boxes
,
barrels
,
and
bundles
,
and
I
am
morally
certain
that
the
spandy
new
kitchen
never
could
have
looked
so
cozy
and
neat
if
Hannah
had
not
arranged
every
pot
and
pan
a
dozen
times
over
,
and
laid
the
fire
all
ready
for
lighting
the
minute
‘
Mis
.
Brooke
came
home
’
.
I
also
doubt
if
any
young
matron
ever
began
life
with
so
rich
a
supply
of
dusters
,
holders
,
and
piece
bags
,
for
Beth
made
enough
to
last
till
the
silver
wedding
came
round
,
and
invented
three
different
kinds
of
dishcloths
for
the
express
service
of
the
bridal
china
.
People
who
hire
all
these
things
done
for
them
never
know
what
they
lose
,
for
the
homeliest
tasks
get
beautified
if
loving
hands
do
them
,
and
Meg
found
so
many
proofs
of
this
that
everything
in
her
small
nest
,
from
the
kitchen
roller
to
the
silver
vase
on
her
parlor
table
,
was
eloquent
of
home
love
and
tender
forethought
.
What
happy
times
they
had
planning
together
,
what
solemn
shopping
excursions
,
what
funny
mistakes
they
made
,
and
what
shouts
of
laughter
arose
over
Laurie
’
s
ridiculous
bargains
.
In
his
love
of
jokes
,
this
young
gentleman
,
though
nearly
through
college
,
was
a
much
of
a
boy
as
ever
.
His
last
whim
had
been
to
bring
with
him
on
his
weekly
visits
some
new
,
useful
,
and
ingenious
article
for
the
young
housekeeper
.
Now
a
bag
of
remarkable
clothespins
,
next
,
a
wonderful
nutmeg
grater
which
fell
to
pieces
at
the
first
trial
,
a
knife
cleaner
that
spoiled
all
the
knives
,
or
a
sweeper
that
picked
the
nap
neatly
off
the
carpet
and
left
the
dirt
,
labor
-
saving
soap
that
took
the
skin
off
one
’
s
hands
,
infallible
cements
which
stuck
firmly
to
nothing
but
the
fingers
of
the
deluded
buyer
,
and
every
kind
of
tinware
,
from
a
toy
savings
bank
for
odd
pennies
,
to
a
wonderful
boiler
which
would
wash
articles
in
its
own
steam
with
every
prospect
of
exploding
in
the
process
.
In
vain
Meg
begged
him
to
stop
.
John
laughed
at
him
,
and
Jo
called
him
‘
Mr
.
Toodles
’
.
He
was
possessed
with
a
mania
for
patronizing
Yankee
ingenuity
,
and
seeing
his
friends
fitly
furnished
forth
.
So
each
week
beheld
some
fresh
absurdity
.
Everything
was
done
at
last
,
even
to
Amy
’
s
arranging
different
colored
soaps
to
match
the
different
colored
rooms
,
and
Beth
’
s
setting
the
table
for
the
first
meal
.
