Why
in
the
world
should
you
spend
your
money
,
worry
your
family
,
and
turn
the
house
upside
down
for
a
parcel
of
girls
who
don
’
t
care
a
sixpence
for
you
?
I
thought
you
had
too
much
pride
and
sense
to
truckle
to
any
mortal
woman
just
because
she
wears
French
boots
and
rides
in
a
coupe
,
"
said
Jo
,
who
,
being
called
from
the
tragic
climax
of
her
novel
,
was
not
in
the
best
mood
for
social
enterprises
.
"
I
don
’
t
truckle
,
and
I
hate
being
patronized
as
much
as
you
do
!
"
returned
Amy
indignantly
,
for
the
two
still
jangled
when
such
questions
arose
.
"
The
girls
do
care
for
me
,
and
I
for
them
,
and
there
’
s
a
great
deal
of
kindness
and
sense
and
talent
among
them
,
in
spite
of
what
you
call
fashionable
nonsense
.
You
don
’
t
care
to
make
people
like
you
,
to
go
into
good
society
,
and
cultivate
your
manners
and
tastes
.
I
do
,
and
I
mean
to
make
the
most
of
every
chance
that
comes
.
You
can
go
through
the
world
with
your
elbows
out
and
your
nose
in
the
air
,
and
call
it
independence
,
if
you
like
.
That
’
s
not
my
way
.
"
When
Amy
had
whetted
her
tongue
and
freed
her
mind
she
usually
got
the
best
of
it
,
for
she
seldom
failed
to
have
common
sense
on
her
side
,
while
Jo
carried
her
love
of
liberty
and
hate
of
conventionalities
to
such
an
unlimited
extent
that
she
naturally
found
herself
worsted
in
an
argument
.
Amy
’
s
definition
of
Jo
’
s
idea
of
independence
was
such
a
good
hit
that
both
burst
out
laughing
,
and
the
discussion
took
a
more
amiable
turn
.
Much
against
her
will
,
Jo
at
length
consented
to
sacrifice
a
day
to
Mrs
.

Grundy
,
and
help
her
sister
through
what
she
regarded
as
‘
a
nonsensical
business
’
.
The
invitations
were
sent
,
nearly
all
accepted
,
and
the
following
Monday
was
set
apart
for
the
grand
event
.
Hannah
was
out
of
humor
because
her
week
’
s
work
was
deranged
,
and
prophesied
that
"
ef
the
washin
’
and
ironin
’
warn
’
t
done
reg
’
lar
,
nothin
’
would
go
well
anywheres
"
.
This
hitch
in
the
mainspring
of
the
domestic
machinery
had
a
bad
effect
upon
the
whole
concern
,
but
Amy
’
s
motto
was
‘
Nil
desperandum
’
,
and
having
made
up
her
mind
what
to
do
,
she
proceeded
to
do
it
in
spite
of
all
obstacles
.
To
begin
with
,
Hannah
’
s
cooking
didn
’
t
turn
out
well
.
The
chicken
was
tough
,
the
tongue
too
salty
,
and
the
chocolate
wouldn
’
t
froth
properly
.
Then
the
cake
and
ice
cost
more
than
Amy
expected
,
so
did
the
wagon
,
and
various
other
expenses
,
which
seemed
trifling
at
the
outset
,
counted
up
rather
alarmingly
afterward
.
Beth
got
a
cold
and
took
to
her
bed
.
Meg
had
an
unusual
number
of
callers
to
keep
her
at
home
,
and
Jo
was
in
such
a
divided
state
of
mind
that
her
breakages
,
accidents
,
and
mistakes
were
uncommonly
numerous
,
serious
,
and
trying
.
If
it
was
not
fair
on
Monday
,
the
young
ladies
were
to
come
on
Tuesday
,
an
arrangement
which
aggravated
Jo
and
Hannah
to
the
last
degree
.
On
Monday
morning
the
weather
was
in
that
undecided
state
which
is
more
exasperating
than
a
steady
pour
.
It
drizzled
a
little
,
shone
a
little
,
blew
a
little
,
and
didn
’
t
make
up
its
mind
till
it
was
too
late
for
anyone
else
to
make
up
theirs
.
Amy
was
up
at
dawn
,
hustling
people
out
of
their
beds
and
through
their
breakfasts
,
that
the
house
might
be
got
in
order
.
The
parlor
struck
her
as
looking
uncommonly
shabby
,
but
without
stopping
to
sigh
for
what
she
had
not
,
she
skillfully
made
the
best
of
what
she
had
,
arranging
chairs
over
the
worn
places
in
the
carpet
,
covering
stains
on
the
walls
with
homemade
statuary
,
which
gave
an
artistic
air
to
the
room
,
as
did
the
lovely
vases
of
flowers
Jo
scattered
about
.

The
lunch
looked
charming
,
and
as
she
surveyed
it
,
she
sincerely
hoped
it
would
taste
well
,
and
that
the
borrowed
glass
,
china
,
and
silver
would
get
safely
home
again
.
The
carriages
were
promised
,
Meg
and
Mother
were
all
ready
to
do
the
honors
,
Beth
was
able
to
help
Hannah
behind
the
scenes
,
Jo
had
engaged
to
be
as
lively
and
amiable
as
an
absent
mind
,
and
aching
head
,
and
a
very
decided
disapproval
of
everybody
and
everything
would
allow
,
and
as
she
wearily
dressed
,
Amy
cheered
herself
with
anticipations
of
the
happy
moment
when
,
lunch
safely
over
,
she
should
drive
away
with
her
friends
for
an
afternoon
of
artistic
delights
,
for
the
‘
cherry
bounce
’
and
the
broken
bridge
were
her
strong
points
.
Then
came
the
hours
of
suspense
,
during
which
she
vibrated
from
parlor
to
porch
,
while
public
opinion
varied
like
the
weathercock
.
A
smart
shower
at
eleven
had
evidently
quenched
the
enthusiasm
of
the
young
ladies
who
were
to
arrive
at
twelve
,
for
nobody
came
,
and
at
two
the
exhausted
family
sat
down
in
a
blaze
of
sunshine
to
consume
the
perishable
portions
of
the
feast
,
that
nothing
might
be
lost
.
