I feel restless and anxious to be seeing , doing , and learning more than I am . I brood too much over my own small affairs , and need stirring up , so as I can be spared this winter , I 'd like to hop a little way and try my wings . '' `` Where will you hop ? '' `` To New York . I had a bright idea yesterday , and this is it . You know Mrs. Kirke wrote to you for some respectable young person to teach her children and sew . It 's rather hard to find just the thing , but I think I should suit if I tried . '' `` My dear , go out to service in that great boarding house ! '' and Mrs. March looked surprised , but not displeased . `` It 's not exactly going out to service , for Mrs. Kirke is your friend -- the kindest soul that ever lived -- and would make things pleasant for me , I know . Her family is separate from the rest , and no one knows me there . Do n't care if they do . It 's honest work , and I 'm not ashamed of it . '' `` Nor I . But your writing ? '' `` All the better for the change . I shall see and hear new things , get new ideas , and even if I have n't much time there , I shall bring home quantities of material for my rubbish . '' `` I have no doubt of it , but are these your only reasons for this sudden fancy ? '' `` No , Mother . '' `` May I know the others ? ''
