Brooke was a trump to telegraph right off , and let us know the minute he was better . I rushed up garret when the letter came , and tried to thank god for being so good to us , but I could only cry , and say , `` I 'm glad ! I 'm glad ! '' Did n't that do as well as a regular prayer ? For I felt a great many in my heart . We have such funny times , and now I can enjoy them , for everyone is so desperately good , it 's like living in a nest of turtledoves . You 'd laugh to see Meg head the table and try to be motherish . She gets prettier every day , and I 'm in love with her sometimes . The children are regular archangels , and I -- well , I 'm Jo , and never shall be anything else . Oh , I must tell you that I came near having a quarrel with Laurie . I freed my mind about a silly little thing , and he was offended . I was right , but did n't speak as I ought , and he marched home , saying he would n't come again till I begged pardon . I declared I would n't and got mad . It lasted all day . I felt bad and wanted you very much . Laurie and I are both so proud , it 's hard to beg pardon . But I thought he 'd come to it , for I was in the right . He did n't come , and just at night I remembered what you said when Amy fell into the river . I read my little book , felt better , resolved not to let the sun set on my anger , and ran over to tell Laurie I was sorry . I met him at the gate , coming for the same thing .
We both laughed , begged each other 's pardon , and XXXXX all good and comfortable again .
