Her respect and regard for the ` Laurence ' boy increased very much , for he played remarkably well and did n't put on any airs . She wished Beth could hear him , but she did not say so , only praised him till he was quite abashed , and his grandfather came to his rescue . `` That will do , that will do , young lady . Too many sugarplums are not good for him . His music is n't bad , but I hope he will do as well in more important things . Going ? well , I 'm much obliged to you , and I hope you 'll come again . My respects to your mother . Good night , Doctor Jo . '' He shook hands kindly , but looked as if something did not please him . When they got into the hall , Jo asked Laurie if she had said something amiss . He shook his head . `` No , it was me . He does n't like to hear me play . '' `` Why not ? '' `` I 'll tell you some day . John is going home with you , as I ca n't . '' `` No need of that . I am not a young lady , and it 's only a step . Take care of yourself , wo n't you ? ''
`` Yes , but you will XXXXX again , I hope ? ''
