Little Women; or, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy • Paragraph 814
Stage 1 of 6

Read it through once

"I think they are great nonsense, and I'll thank you not to be silly, and spoil my fun. Laurie's a nice boy, and I like him, and I won't have any sentimental stuff about compliments and such rubbish. We'll all be good to him, because he hasn't got any mother, and he _may_ come over and see us, mayn't he, Marmee?"
