"
My
dear
,
nothing
can
comfort
me
like
this
,
"
he
answered
,
with
a
falter
in
his
voice
,
and
both
arms
round
her
,
as
if
he
too
,
needed
help
,
and
did
not
fear
to
ask
for
it
.
Then
,
sitting
in
Beth
s
little
chair
close
beside
him
,
Jo
told
her
troubles
,
the
resentful
sorrow
for
her
loss
,
the
fruitless
efforts
that
discouraged
her
,
the
want
of
faith
that
made
life
look
so
dark
,
and
all
the
sad
bewilderment
which
we
call
despair
.
She
gave
him
entire
confidence
,
he
gave
her
the
help
she
needed
,
and
both
found
consolation
in
the
act
.
For
the
time
had
come
when
they
could
talk
together
not
only
as
father
and
daughter
,
but
as
man
and
woman
,
able
and
glad
to
serve
each
other
with
mutual
sympathy
as
well
as
mutual
love
.
Happy
,
thoughtful
times
there
in
the
old
study
which
Jo
called
the
church
of
one
member
,
and
from
which
she
came
with
fresh
courage
,
recovered
cheerfulness
,
and
a
more
submissive
spirit
.
For
the
parents
who
had
taught
one
child
to
meet
death
without
fear
,
were
trying
now
to
teach
another
to
accept
life
without
despondency
or
distrust
,
and
to
use
its
beautiful
opportunities
with
gratitude
and
power
.
Other
helps
had
Jo
humble
,
wholesome
duties
and
delights
that
would
not
be
denied
their
part
in
serving
her
,
and
which
she
slowly
learned
to
see
and
value
.
Brooms
and
dishcloths
never
could
be
as
distasteful
as
they
once
had
been
,
for
Beth
had
presided
over
both
,
and
something
of
her
housewifely
spirit
seemed
to
linger
around
the
little
mop
and
the
old
brush
,
never
thrown
away
.
As
she
used
them
,
Jo
found
herself
humming
the
songs
Beth
used
to
hum
,
imitating
Beth
s
orderly
ways
,
and
giving
the
little
touches
here
and
there
that
kept
everything
fresh
and
cozy
,
which
was
the
first
step
toward
making
home
happy
,
though
she
didn
t
know
it
till
Hannah
said
with
an
approving
squeeze
of
the
hand
.

"
You
thoughtful
creeter
,
you
re
determined
we
shan
t
miss
that
dear
lamb
ef
you
can
help
it
.
We
don
t
say
much
,
but
we
see
it
,
and
the
Lord
will
bless
you
for
t
,
see
ef
He
don
t
.
"
As
they
sat
sewing
together
,
Jo
discovered
how
much
improved
her
sister
Meg
was
,
how
well
she
could
talk
,
how
much
she
knew
about
good
,
womanly
impulses
,
thoughts
,
and
feelings
,
how
happy
she
was
in
husband
and
children
,
and
how
much
they
were
all
doing
for
each
other
.
"
Marriage
is
an
excellent
thing
,
after
all
.
I
wonder
if
I
should
blossom
out
half
as
well
as
you
have
,
if
I
tried
it
?
,
always
perwisin
I
could
,
"
said
Jo
,
as
she
constructed
a
kite
for
Demi
in
the
topsy
-
turvy
nursery
.
"
It
s
just
what
you
need
to
bring
out
the
tender
womanly
half
of
your
nature
,
Jo
.

You
are
like
a
chestnut
burr
,
prickly
outside
,
but
silky
-
soft
within
,
and
a
sweet
kernal
,
if
one
can
only
get
at
it
.
Love
will
make
you
show
your
heart
one
day
,
and
then
the
rough
burr
will
fall
off
.
"
"
Frost
opens
chestnut
burrs
,
ma
am
,
and
it
takes
a
good
shake
to
bring
them
down
.
Boys
go
nutting
,
and
I
don
t
care
to
be
bagged
by
them
,
"
returned
Jo
,
pasting
away
at
the
kite
which
no
wind
that
blows
would
ever
carry
up
,
for
Daisy
had
tied
herself
on
as
a
bob
.
Meg
laughed
,
for
she
was
glad
to
see
a
glimmer
of
Jo
s
old
spirit
,
but
she
felt
it
her
duty
to
enforce
her
opinion
by
every
argument
in
her
power
,
and
the
sisterly
chats
were
not
wasted
,
especially
as
two
of
Meg
s
most
effective
arguments
were
the
babies
,
whom
Jo
loved
tenderly
.
Grief
is
the
best
opener
of
some
hearts
,
and
Jo
s
was
nearly
ready
for
the
bag
.
A
little
more
sunshine
to
ripen
the
nut
,
then
,
not
a
boy
s
impatient
shake
,
but
a
man
s
hand
reached
up
to
pick
it
gently
from
the
burr
,
and
find
the
kernal
sound
and
sweet
.
If
she
suspected
this
,
she
would
have
shut
up
tight
,
and
been
more
prickly
than
ever
,
fortunately
she
wasn
t
thinking
about
herself
,
so
when
the
time
came
,
down
she
dropped
.
