asked Laurie , yawning . `` Yes , out it came , and away ran Polly , frightened to death , and scrambled up on Aunt 's chair , calling out , ` Catch her ! Catch her ! Catch her ! ' as I chased the spider . '' `` That 's a lie ! Oh , lor ! '' cried the parrot , pecking at Laurie 's toes . `` I 'd wring your neck if you were mine , you old torment , '' cried Laurie , shaking his fist at the bird , who put his head on one side and gravely croaked , `` Allyluyer ! bless your buttons , dear ! '' `` Now I 'm ready , '' said Amy , shutting the wardrobe and taking a piece of paper out of her pocket . `` I want you to read that , please , and tell me if it is legal and right . I felt I ought to do it , for life is uncertain and I do n't want any ill feeling over my tomb . '' Laurie bit his lips , and turning a little from the pensive speaker , read the following document , with praiseworthy gravity , considering the spelling : MY LAST WILL AND TESTIMENT I , Amy Curtis March , being in my sane mind , go give and bequeethe all my earthly property -- viz . to wit : -- namely To my father , my best pictures , sketches , maps , and works of art , including frames . Also my $ 100 , to do what he likes with . To my mother , all my clothes , except the blue apron with pockets -- also my likeness , and my medal , with much love . To my dear sister Margaret , I give my turkquoise ring -LRB- if I get it -RRB- , also my green box with the doves on it , also my piece of real lace for her neck , and my sketch of her as a memorial of her ` little girl ' . To Jo I leave my breastpin , the one mended with sealing wax , also my bronze inkstand -- she lost the cover -- and my most precious plaster rabbit , because I am sorry I burned up her story . To Beth -LRB- if she lives after me -RRB- I give my dolls and the little bureau , my fan , my linen collars and my new slippers if she can wear them being thin when she gets well .
And I herewith also XXXXX her my regret that I ever made fun of old Joanna .
