Reveal the atmosphere in the house through the family traditions and through the relations between the members of the family. Make up the situation round the following sentences:
The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the
cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly, "We haven't
got Father, and shall not have him for a long time."
"I don't believe any of you suffer as I do," cried Amy.
"I'll tell you what we'll do," said Beth, "let's each get her something
for Christmas, and not get anything for ourselves."
Give them all of my dear love and a kiss.
Comment on the following:
1. "We never are too old for this, my dear, because it is a play we are
playing all the time in one way or another. Out burdens are here, our
road is before us, and the longing for goodness and happiness is the
guide that leads us through many troubles and mistakes to the peace
which is a true Celestial City. Now, my little pilgrims, suppose you
begin again, not in play, but in earnest, and see how far on you can get
before Father comes home."
2. "Each of you told what your burden was just now, except Beth. I rather
think she hasn't got any," said her mother.
"Yes, I have. Mine is dishes and dusters, and envying girls with nice
pianos, and being afraid of people."
Translate the following passage into English. Compare it with the original.
Актеры и зрители, которых воплощала Бет, тут же повернулись к двери. Там стояла добродушная женщина, от которой веяло любовью и готовностью прийти на помощь каждому, кто в этом нуждается. Мать девочек не отличалась особенной красотой. Но для дочерей мать всегда прекрасна, и девочки не сомневались, что под серым плащом и вышедшим из моды капором скрывается самая привлекательная женщина на свете.
- Ну, как провели день, мои милые? А вот нам пришлось туго. Срочно отправляли посылки на фронт, целый день упаковывали. Я даже вырваться домой пообедать не смогла. Кто-нибудь заходил, Бет? А как твой насморк, Мег? Джо, у тебя усталый вид. Ну-ка подойди ко мне, милая.
Продолжая задавать вопросы, в каждом из которых сквозила истинно материнская забота, миссис Марч сняла мокрый плащ и ботинки и надела теплые тапочки. Устроившись в мягком кресле, она притянула к себе Эми и усадила ее на колени. Сейчас для миссис Марч наступало самое счастливое время суток.
Девочки суетились вокруг матери, каждая на свой лад заботилась, чтобы ей было удобно и спокойно.
–Я знаю! Я слишком люблю себя! Но я постараюсь быть другой! Папа не разочаруется во мне.
–А помните, когда вы были совсем маленькие, вы играни в «Странствия пилигрима»? Как вы радовались, когда я вместо котомок привязывала вам на спину свои старые сумочки, а на головы надевала шапки! Потом в одну руку вы брали по палке, а в другую - свиток бумаги. И пускались в странствие по дому. Начинали с подвала, это был Разрушенный город, и добирались до крыши - там у вас был Небесный град.
–Да, здорово! - тут же отозвалась Джо. - Мы проходили мимо Львов, вступали в битву с демоном бездны Алоллионом, а потом попадали: в Долину гномов.
–А мне больше всего нравилось, когда мы сбрасывали с себя котомки, и они скатывались вниз по лестнице, - сказала Мег.
–Давайте попробуем, - задумчиво проговорила Мег. - Может, это и правда поможет нам стать лучше? Ведь каждая из нас хочет этого. Не так-то легко избавиться от своих недостатков. Мы ведь часто даже против воли ведем себя не так, как хотелось бы. А тут сама игра не даст нам забыть, и мы будем следить за собой.
Джо очень понравилась эта идея. «Странствия пилигрима» придавали скучным домашним обязанностям увлекательность и даже таинственность.
И все-таки никакие оплошности не мешали семейству Марч ощущать в эти минуты перед сном подлинное блаженство. Безыскусные песни, которые они пели с тех пор, как едва научились говорить, сплачивали их, и они как никогда чувствовали поддержку друг друга, и на душе у каждой становилось радостно и спокойно.
