¡¡¡¡Before the housewives could rest several people called, and there was a scramble to get ready to see them; then tea must be got, errands done; and one or two necessary bits of sewing neglected till the last minute. As twilight fell, dewy and still, one by one they gathered in the porch where the June roses were budding beautifully, and each groaned or sighed as she sat down as if tired or troubled. ¡¡¡¡`What a dreadful day this has been!' began Jo, usually the first to speak. ¡¡¡¡`It has seemed shorter than usual, but so uncomfortable,' said Meg. ¡¡¡¡`Not a bit like home,' added Amy. ¡¡¡¡`It can't seem so without Marmee and little Pip,' sighed Beth, glancing with full eyes at the empty cage above her head. ¡¡¡¡`Here's Mother, dear; and you shall have another bird tomorrow, if you want it.' ¡¡¡¡As she spoke, Mrs. March came and took her place among them, looking as if her holiday had not been much pleasanter than theirs. ¡¡¡¡`Are you satisfied with your experiment, girls, or do you want another week of it?' she asked, as Beth nestled up to her, and the rest turned towards her with brightening faces, as flowers turn towards the sun. ¡¡¡¡`I don't,' cried Jo, decidedly. ¡¡¡¡`Nor I,' echoed the others. ¡¡¡¡`You think, then, that it is better to have a few duties, and live a little for others, do you?' ¡¡¡¡`Longing and larking doesn't pay,' observed Jo, shaking her head. `I'm tired of it, and mean to go to work at something right off.'
