Little Women; or, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy • Paragraph 1391
Stage 1 of 6

Read it through once

"What a sly fellow Laurie is! I said I wished bigger hats were the fashion, because I burn my face every hot day. He said, 'Why mind the fashion? Wear a big hat, and be comfortable!' I said I would if I had one, and he has sent me this, to try me. I'll wear it, for fun, and show him I _don't_ care for the fashion;" and, hanging the antique broad-brim on a bust of Plato, Jo read her letters.
