Being
an
energetic
individual
,
Mr
.
Laurence
struck
while
the
iron
was
hot
,
and
before
the
blighted
being
recovered
spirit
enough
to
rebel
,
they
were
off
.
During
the
time
necessary
for
preparation
,
Laurie
bore
himself
as
young
gentleman
usually
do
in
such
cases
.
He
was
moody
,
irritable
,
and
pensive
by
turns
,
lost
his
appetite
,
neglected
his
dress
and
devoted
much
time
to
playing
tempestuously
on
his
piano
,
avoided
Jo
,
but
consoled
himself
by
staring
at
her
from
his
window
,
with
a
tragic
face
that
haunted
her
dreams
by
night
and
oppressed
her
with
a
heavy
sense
of
guilt
by
day
.
Unlike
some
sufferers
,
he
never
spoke
of
his
unrequited
passion
,
and
would
allow
no
one
,
not
even
Mrs
.
March
,
to
attempt
consolation
or
offer
sympathy
.
On
some
accounts
,
this
was
a
relief
to
his
friends
,
but
the
weeks
before
his
departure
were
very
uncomfortable
,
and
everyone
rejoiced
that
the
‘
poor
,
dear
fellow
was
going
away
to
forget
his
trouble
,
and
come
home
happy
’
.
Of
course
,
he
smiled
darkly
at
their
delusion
,
but
passed
it
by
with
the
sad
superiority
of
one
who
knew
that
his
fidelity
like
his
love
was
unalterable
.
When
the
parting
came
he
affected
high
spirits
,
to
conceal
certain
inconvenient
emotions
which
seemed
inclined
to
assert
themselves
.
This
gaiety
did
not
impose
upon
anybody
,
but
they
tried
to
look
as
if
it
did
for
his
sake
,
and
he
got
on
very
well
till
Mrs
.
March
kissed
him
,
with
a
whisper
full
of
motherly
solicitude
Then
feeling
that
he
was
going
very
fast
,
he
hastily
embraced
them
all
round
,
not
forgetting
the
afflicted
Hannah
,
and
ran
downstairs
as
if
for
his
life
.
Jo
followed
a
minute
after
to
wave
her
hand
to
him
if
he
looked
round
.
He
did
look
round
,
came
back
,
put
his
arms
about
her
as
she
stood
on
the
step
above
him
,
and
looked
up
at
her
with
a
face
that
made
his
short
appeal
eloquent
and
pathetic
.

"
Oh
,
Jo
,
can
’
t
you
?
"
"
Teddy
,
dear
,
I
wish
I
could
!
"
That
was
all
,
except
a
little
pause
.
Then
Laurie
straightened
himself
up
,
said
,
"
It
’
s
all
right
,
never
mind
,
"
and
went
away
without
another
word
.
Ah
,
but
it
wasn
’
t
all
right
,
and
Jo
did
mind
,
for
while
the
curly
head
lay
on
her
arm
a
minute
after
her
hard
answer
,
she
felt
as
if
she
had
stabbed
her
dearest
friend
,
and
when
he
left
her
without
a
look
behind
him
,
she
knew
that
the
boy
Laurie
never
would
come
again
.
When
Jo
came
home
that
spring
,
she
had
been
struck
with
the
change
in
Beth
.
No
one
spoke
of
it
or
seemed
aware
of
it
,
for
it
had
come
too
gradually
to
startle
those
who
saw
her
daily
,
but
to
eyes
sharpened
by
absence
,
it
was
very
plain
and
a
heavy
weight
fell
on
Jo
’
s
heart
as
she
saw
her
sister
’
s
face
.
It
was
no
paler
and
but
littler
thinner
than
in
the
autumn
,
yet
there
was
a
strange
,
transparent
look
about
it
,
as
if
the
mortal
was
being
slowly
refined
away
,
and
the
immortal
shining
through
the
frail
flesh
with
an
indescribably
pathetic
beauty
.
Jo
saw
and
felt
it
,
but
said
nothing
at
the
time
,
and
soon
the
first
impression
lost
much
of
its
power
,
for
Beth
seemed
happy
,
no
one
appeared
to
doubt
that
she
was
better
,
and
presently
in
other
cares
Jo
for
a
time
forgot
her
fear
.

But
when
Laurie
was
gone
,
and
peace
prevailed
again
,
the
vague
anxiety
returned
and
haunted
her
.
She
had
confessed
her
sins
and
been
forgiven
,
but
when
she
showed
her
savings
and
proposed
a
mountain
trip
,
Beth
had
thanked
her
heartily
,
but
begged
not
to
go
so
far
away
from
home
.
Another
little
visit
to
the
seashore
would
suit
her
better
,
and
as
Grandma
could
not
be
prevailed
upon
to
leave
the
babies
,
Jo
took
Beth
down
to
the
quiet
place
,
where
she
could
live
much
in
the
open
air
,
and
let
the
fresh
sea
breezes
blow
a
little
color
into
her
pale
cheeks
.
It
was
not
a
fashionable
place
,
but
even
among
the
pleasant
people
there
,
the
girls
made
few
friends
,
preferring
to
live
for
one
another
.
Beth
was
too
shy
to
enjoy
society
,
and
Jo
too
wrapped
up
in
her
to
care
for
anyone
else
.
So
they
were
all
in
all
to
each
other
,
and
came
and
went
,
quite
unconscious
of
the
interest
they
exited
in
those
about
them
,
who
watched
with
sympathetic
eyes
the
strong
sister
and
the
feeble
one
,
always
together
,
as
if
they
felt
instinctively
that
a
long
separation
was
not
far
away
.
