Little Women Page #3

JO:

No, I'm not. And if turning up my hair makes me so, I'll wear it

down until I'm a hundred.

MEG:

Jo! As you for you, Amy, your absurd words are as bad as Joe's

slang. Your airs are funny now, but you'll grow into an affected

little goose unless you take care.

BETH:

Look. If Jo's a tomboy and Amy's a goose, what am I, please?

MEG:

You're a dear, and nothing else.

JO:

We're_cWe're three ungrateful wretches, who don't deserve you.

Oh, wait until I become a famous author and make my fortune. Then

we'll all ride in fine carriages, dressed like Flo King, snubbing

Amy's friends, and _c and telling Aunt March to go to the

dickens. Come on. Let's rehearse. We'll start with the _c um_c

oh, the fainting scene. You're as stiff as a poker on that Amy.

AMY:

Well, I can't help it. I've never seen anyone faint, and I don't

intend to make myself all black and blue tumbling flat as you do.

JO:

Oh, it's easy, if you'll only watch me. Come on.

AMY:

If I can drop gracefully, I'll...

JO:

Now, now. When I come in you'll see the horrible look in my eyes,

and you shrink back trembling. Go ahead, go ahead. Well, get into

the mood Amy. Get into the mood. Now_c now_c when I start towards

you_c with wicked intentions_c Oh Amy! _c.you_c you draw back in

horror, covering your eyes with your hands. Roderigo! Roderigo!

Ahh_c Save me! Save me!

(Jo screams and faints.)**

(Clapping of hands.)There you are now. See? Now, it's easy. Now,

here I come! Haahaa_c...**

AMY:

Roderigo! Roderigo! Oh_c.. Save me! Save me! Oh!_c Oh!_c

(Amy screams and faints on the sofa)**

MRS. MARCH

Glad to find you so merry, my girls. AMY Darling.

GIRLS:

Marmee.

MRS. MARCH

How's your cold, Meg?

MEG:

Much better.

MRS. MARCH

Beth deary. Kiss me baby. Thank you, Jo. Thank you, dear! You

look tired to death, Jo.

JO:

No, Marmee. I'm not tired.

BETH:

Mmm. Warm. Your slippers are all ready.

MRS. MARCH

Oh. That's my Bethy. Deary.

BETH:

Did you have a hard day, Marmee?

MRS. MARCH

No. Very pleasant, dear. But it's good to be home. I have a treat

for you.

BETH:

A letter from father!

(All chatter together)**

MRS. MARCH

"Give them all my dear love and a kiss. Tell them I know they

will remember all I said to them, that they will be loving

children to you, will do their duty faithfully, fight their bosom

enemies bravely, and conquer themselves so beautifully, that when

I come back to them I may be fonder and prouder than ever of my

little women."

AMY:

I_c.I am a selfish girl, but I'll truly try to be better and not

waste my time in school, so that father mayn't be disappointed in

me.

JO:

I'll try and be what he loves to call me, 'a little woman', and

not be rough and wild; and do my duty here at home instead of

always wanting to go to war to help father.
