Those Good Times They Had

Laurie was always playing truant and running over to the marches. The good lady next door says he is studying too hard and needs young society, amusement and exercise. Let him do what he likes, as long as he is happy. He can't get into mischief in that little nunnery over there. And missus march is doing more for him than we can. What good times they had, to be sure. Such plays an tableaux, such sleigh rides and skating frolics, such pleasant evenings in the old parlor. Meg could walk in the conservatory whenever she liked and revel in bouquets. Amy copied pictures and enjoyed beauty to her heart's content
