But
after
the
boys
were
abed
,
he
sat
long
before
his
fire
with
the
tired
look
on
his
face
and
the
‘
heimweh
’
,
or
homesickness
,
lying
heavy
at
his
heart
.
Once
,
when
he
remembered
Jo
as
she
sat
with
the
little
child
in
her
lap
and
that
new
softness
in
her
face
,
he
leaned
his
head
on
his
hands
a
minute
,
and
then
roamed
about
the
room
,
as
if
in
search
of
something
that
he
could
not
find
"
It
is
not
for
me
,
I
must
not
hope
it
now
,
"
he
said
to
himself
,
with
a
sigh
that
was
almost
a
groan
.
Then
,
as
if
reproaching
himself
for
the
longing
that
he
could
not
repress
,
he
went
and
kissed
the
two
tousled
heads
upon
the
pillow
,
took
down
his
seldom
-
used
meerschaum
,
and
opened
his
Plato
.
He
did
his
best
and
did
it
manfully
,
but
I
don
’
t
think
he
found
that
a
pair
of
rampant
boys
,
a
pipe
,
or
even
the
divine
Plato
,
were
very
satisfactory
substitutes
for
wife
and
child
at
home
.

Early
as
it
was
,
he
was
at
the
station
next
morning
to
see
Jo
off
,
and
thanks
to
him
,
she
began
her
solitary
journey
with
the
pleasant
memory
of
a
familiar
face
smiling
its
farewell
,
a
bunch
of
violets
to
keep
her
company
,
and
best
of
all
,
the
happy
thought
,
"
Well
,
the
winter
’
s
gone
,
and
I
’
ve
written
no
books
,
earned
no
fortune
,
but
I
’
ve
made
a
friend
worth
having
and
I
’
ll
try
to
keep
him
all
my
life
.
"
Whatever
his
motive
might
have
been
,
Laurie
studied
to
some
purpose
that
year
,
for
he
graduated
with
honor
,
and
gave
the
Latin
oration
with
the
grace
of
a
Phillips
and
the
eloquence
of
a
Demosthenes
,
so
his
friends
said
.
They
were
all
there
,
his
grandfather
—
oh
,
so
proud
—
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
March
,
John
and
Meg
,
Jo
and
Beth
,
and
all
exulted
over
him
with
the
sincere
admiration
which
boys
make
light
of
at
the
time
,
but
fail
to
win
from
the
world
by
any
after
-
triumphs
.
"
I
’
ve
got
to
stay
for
this
confounded
supper
,
but
I
shall
be
home
early
tomorrow
.
You
’
ll
come
and
meet
me
as
usual
,
girls
?
"
Laurie
said
,
as
he
put
the
sisters
into
the
carriage
after
the
joys
of
the
day
were
over
.
He
said
‘
girls
’
,
but
he
meant
Jo
,
for
she
was
the
only
one
who
kept
up
the
old
custom
.
She
had
not
the
heart
to
refuse
her
splendid
,
successful
boy
anything
,
and
answered
warmly
.
.
.
"
I
’
ll
come
,
Teddy
,
rain
or
shine
,
and
march
before
you
,
playing
‘
Hail
the
conquering
hero
comes
’
on
a
jew
’
s
-
harp
.

Laurie
thanked
her
with
a
look
that
made
her
think
in
a
sudden
panic
,
"
Oh
,
deary
me
!
I
know
he
’
ll
say
something
,
and
then
what
shall
I
do
?
"
Evening
meditation
and
morning
work
somewhat
allayed
her
fears
,
and
having
decided
that
she
wouldn
’
t
be
vain
enough
to
think
people
were
going
to
propose
when
she
had
given
them
every
reason
to
know
what
her
answer
would
be
,
she
set
forth
at
the
appointed
time
,
hoping
Teddy
wouldn
’
t
do
anything
to
make
her
hurt
his
poor
feelings
.
A
call
at
Meg
’
s
,
and
a
refreshing
sniff
and
sip
at
the
Daisy
and
Demijohn
,
still
further
fortified
her
for
the
tete
-
a
-
tete
,
but
when
she
saw
a
stalwart
figure
looming
in
the
distance
,
she
had
a
strong
desire
to
turn
about
and
run
away
.
