Little Women; or, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy • Paragraph 4637
Stage 1 of 6

Read it through once

On page 146, change buttonholes to button-holes. On page 173 of the 1869 novel, this word was hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. There were seven other occurrences of button-hole or button-holes in the novel. We therefore used the hyphen.
