She went about the house leaving letters and parcels like the penny post.
He has sent me this to try me.
I cant’ let Beth off at any price, and nobody shall worry her.
Don’t bother about rations – I’ll see to that and everything else.
I shall row and tramp about, so I don’t want any starch to think of.
Meg had an extra row of little curlpapers across her forehead, Jo had

It was not far to Longmeadow, but the tent was pitched and the wickets down by the time they arrived. A pleasant green field, with three wide-spreading oaks in the middle and a smooth strip of turf for croquet.
Fred had several skirmishes and once narrowly escaped high words.
Jo opened her lips to say something rude, but checked herself in time, colored up to her forehead and stood a minute, hammering down a wicket with all her might, while Fred hit the stake and declared himself out with much exultation. She went off to get her ball, and was a long time finding it among the bushes, but she came back, looking cool and quiet, and waited her turn patiently. It took several strokes to regain the place she had lost, and when she got there, the other side had nearly won, for Kate’s ball was the last but one and lay near the stake.
A tall figure, all in white with a veil over its face and a lamp in its wasted hand.
