Little Women; or, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy • Paragraph 4240
Stage 1 of 6

Read it through once

"Bless her dear heart! she won't think so when she has a literary husband, and a dozen little professors and professorins to support. We won't interfere now, but watch our chance, and do them a good turn in spite of themselves. I owe Jo for a part of my education, and she believes in people's paying their honest debts, so I'll get round her in that way."
