So you're going to Washington?
MAN:
Yes, Ma'am. My son is sick in a hospital there.
MRS. MARCH
Oh. This will be an anxious Christmas for you. I think this one
will do. Let's try this. Is it your only son?
MAN:
No, Ma'am. I had four, two were killed. One is a prisoner.
MRS. MARCH
You've done a great deal for your country, sir.
MAN:
Oh, not a might more than I ought to, Ma'am. I'd go myself if I
was any use. Thank you for the overcoat.
MRS. MARCH
Wait a minute. I hope you find him better.
MAN:
Thank you, Ma'am. God bless you. Merry Christmas. Merry
Christmas.
MRS. MARCH
Merry Christmas.

Oh, Mrs. March. Will you sign this so I can get it off? Why,
what's the matter?
MRS. MARCH
When I see things like that poor old man it makes me ashamed to
think how little I do.
SHOP ASSISTANT:
But, my dear, you're doing all you can here. And your husband is
there.
MRS. MARCH
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.
SHOP ASSISTANT:
And a real comfort they are too, aren't they?
MRS. MARCH
I couldn't bear it without them. Meg and Joe are working, you
know?
SHOP ASSISTANT:
Yes?
MRS. MARCH
Meg is a nursery governess.
SHOP ASSISTANT:
Oh.
(at the Nursery)**
CHILD ONE:
Merry Christmas.
CHILD TWO:
Merry Christmas.
CHILD TWO:
Merry Christmas.

Remember Lilly, Santa Claus is watching you.
CHILD FOUR:
Come on Tony, let's go over to the blackboard.
(at Aunt March's)**
JO:
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. Al_c Almost in a single day and
night. Crush them. Pluck them out pitterlously from their very
first appearance and do not weary of the labor of plucking them
out again and again.

Hold your tongue! Disrespectful old bird. Go on, Josephine_c.
Josephine? Uh! Where you off to, Miss?
JO:
Oh, I didn't think you'd mind. It was nearly time to leave and
the girls all said they'd be home early so we could rehearse my
play for Christmas.
AUNT MARCH:
Never a thought about my Christmas. Flying off without a word of
cheer or greeting to your poor old aunt.
JO:
Oh, I'm sorry, Aunt March. Merry Christmas.
AUNT MARCH:
Merry Christmas. Here! It's a dollar for each. Well, take 'em.
JO:
Thank you, Auntie.
AUNT MARCH:
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 lettin' other folks look
after his family.
JO:
There's nobody looking after us, and we don't ask favors from
anybody. And I'm very proud of Father. And you should be too.
AUNT MARCH:
Hoity Toity. Don't you be impertinent, miss!
JO:
Oh, I'm sorry, Auntie.
AUNT MARCH:
It isn't preachers that's going to win this war. It's fighters.
JO:
Yes, Auntie. Can I go now?
AUNT MARCH:
Oh, go on. Did you clean Polly's cage today?
JO:
Yes, Auntie.
AUNT MARCH:
Did you wash those tea cups and put them away, carefully?
JO:
Yes, Auntie.
AUNT MARCH:
You didn't break any?
JO:
No, Auntie.
AUNT MARCH:
What about the teaspoons?
JO:
I polished them.
AUNT MARCH:
Oh, very well then. 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.
JO:
Yes, Auntie.
