- So you're going to Washington?
- Yes, ma'am.
My son is sick in a hospital there.
This will be an anxious Christmas for you.
I think this one will do. Let's try this.
- Is it your only son?
- No, ma'am.
I had four, but two were killed
and one is a prisoner.
You've done a great deal
for your country, sir.
Not a mite more than I ought, ma'am.
I'd go myself if I was any use.
Thank you for the overcoat.
Wait a minute.
I hope you find him better.
Thank you, ma'am. God bless you.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Mrs. March,
will you sign this so I can get it off?
Why, what's the matter?
When I see things like that poor old man...
...it makes me ashamed
But, my dear, you're doing all you can here,
and your husband is there.
Yes, I know.
His last son is lying ill, miles away...
...waiting to say goodbye to him,
forever perhaps...
...while I have my four girls to comfort me.
And a real comfort they are, too,
aren't they?
I couldn't bear it without them.
- Meg and Jo are working, you know?
- Yes?
Meg is a nursery governess.
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Remember, Lily,
Come on, Tony.
"We know as well,
what are the baneful fruits of selfishness...
"...and self-indulgence.
Bad habits take root with fearful rapidity...
"...even in the richest natures.
"They grow...
"...and ripen and bear their fruit...
"...like southern vines and weeds...
"...almost...
"...in a single day and night.
"Crush them, pluck them out pitilessly
from their very first appearance...
"...and do not weary...
"...of the labor of plucking them out...
"...again and again."
Goodbye, goodbye!
Hold your tongue,
you disrespectful old bird!
Go on, Josephine.
Josephine!
Where are you off to, Miss?
I didn't think you'd mind.
It was nearly time to leave
and the girls said they'd be home early...
...so we could rehearse my play
for Christmas.
Never a thought about my Christmas.
Flying off without a word of cheer
or greeting for your poor old aunt.
I'm sorry, Aunt March.
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
Here.
It's a dollar for each. Well, take them.
Thank you, Aunty.
Never mind thanking me.
Just spend it wisely, that's all I ask.
Although it's more than I can expect
when you're so much like your father...
...waltzing off to war and letting
other folks look after his family.
There's nobody looking after us.
And we don't ask favors from anybody.
I'm very proud of Father
and you should be, too.
- Don't you be impertinent, Miss.
- I'm sorry, Aunty.
It isn't preachers that are going
to win this war. It's fighters!
Yes, Aunty.
- Can I go, now?
- Yeah, go on.
- Did you clean Polly's cage today?
- Yes, Aunty.
Did you wash those teacups
and put them away carefully?
Yes, Aunty.
- You didn't break any?
- No, Aunty.
- What about the teaspoons?
- I polished them.
Yes. Very well then.
Wait, just a minute. Come back here.
Look at this. You haven't dusted properly.
I want this stair rail dusted and polished
before you leave here.
Yes, Aunty.
Higher.
Thank you very much, ladies.
And now I wish you all
a very merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
School is dismissed.
Amy March! You may close the door.
That'll teach her not to cut up didoes.
- It serves that stuck-up Amy March right.
- What's he going to do to her?
I can see there's nothing for me to do
but to stop by and show your mother...
...how instead of doing your sums,
you cover your slate with sketches.
And most uncomplimentary sketches.
Please, Mr. Davis, I'll never do it again, sir.
And she'd be so disappointed in me.
Please.
Please.
Well, I should hate to spoil her Christmas...
...and for that reason alone, young lady,
Thank you, Mr. Davis!
You may go.
Thank you, Mr. Davis.
Thank you very much indeed.
Thank you, sir.
Here she is.
- What did he do?
- What did he say?
Come on, tell us. What happened?
I just said that if I ever told my mother
the way he treated me...
...she'd take me out of his old school.
She's never been "reconciliated" anyway...
...since my father lost his money
and she's had to suffer the "degaridation"...
with a lot of ill-mannered girls...
in refined people's business.
Little tiny p*ssy, I'll tell you a long story.
- Hannah, is it teatime?
- Yes.
- I'll set the table.
- Thank you, Beth.
It'll be a help to me
'cause my bread's raised.
The girls are getting home early.
- Are they coming?
- Just passing the Laurence house.
- Christopher Columbus!
- Jo, don't use such dreadful expressions.
Here comes old Mr. Laurence.
What if he heard you?
I don't care. I like good strong words
that mean something.
Oh, bother.
Now we're going to have to speak to him.
How do?
just to look at him.
I feel sorry for that poor boy, shut up alone
with such an ogre for a grandfather.
- Look, there he is.
- Where?
Don't point, Jo.
He'll think you're waving at him.
He's gone anyway. Well, what if he does?
Jo! Come along, Amy.
- How's my Beth?
- It's cold outside!
Jo just did the most terrible thing.
Beth, come over here.
- He waved at us.
- Is tea ready yet?
Merry Christmas from Aunt March.
- For me?
- Yes, darling, for you.
We got one, too.
- What are you going to do with it, dear?
