'I'm Going to Take a Drive'

Meg, amy and beth were making mud pies in the garden. Missus march asked if any of them wanted to go for a drive with larie. Laurie dashed downstairs for water while meg and hannah supported her. Meg whisked out her work basket - she had agreed with her mother that it was best for her at least not to drive too often with the young gentleman. The postman hadn't been on his way so missus march read two lines from father's letter before giving up hope he would arrive soon. A sharp ring interrupted their conversation as Hannah came in with another telegraph message.
