It's so exciting.

Jo's friends Anthony
has found a house for us.

Anthony, what's it like?

Describe it for me in detail.

I'd call it sort
of fundamentalist.

It has a shape all its own.

Hey, hey!

I bet you this is the
kind of rain they

had in the Bible.

Oh, I'm worried about Jo.

Well, at least she
won't have to take a bath.

Mind your tongue, Amy march.

Wish I was out there
with her this

very minute, Beth.

So do I, Amy.

Ahhh, save me Beth!

Anthony, i hate thunder.

I can't stand the noise.

Do something,
Anthony, do something,

don't just stand
there, do something.

I'm sorry, Josephine,
but I don't have any

control over mother
nature, only my editor.

Hey, mother nature heard you.

The lightning seems to
be farther away now.

It's letting up.

Uh-huh, now, now, it
will be all right.

You're a brave girl,
behave like one.

Oh.

Jo?

Lightning isn't
really that terrible.

I'm not convinced.

Oh, oh.

What's wrong now?

Well, what happens
if the tree is

hit by lightning?

That, my dear
lady, is impossible.

The lightning is
much too far away.

Oh.

Then there's nothing
to be afraid of?

Right.

Phew.

That caught me
unawares, you know.

I hope it will be over soon.

There's nothing more scary
than a lightning storm.

I'm not talking
about the lightning.

I mean the way you
jumped into my arms.

Huh?

I was scared and I didn't
know what I was doing.

I'm so embarrassed.

You don't have to apologize.

The pleasure was all mine,
believe you me, ma'am.

At your service, ma'am.

- I can't hear you.
- Huh?

Now what do I do?

Yes, who is it?

It's me, Amy.

I expected Jo, where is she?

I'm sorry, but she's not home.

She's out in
this wicked storm?

She went house
hunting this morning.

I doubt she'll give up
until she's found one.

It's a hopeless task, Amy.

As far as I'm concerned,
she'd be better off by

putting her efforts
into something more

constructive.

I know she'll find us a home.

I think it doubtful,
but enough

of that for now.

I've grown accustomed to
having Josephine

read to me.

Oh, well, I'd be
quite happy to try,

though I'm not as
good as Josephine.

Hmmm, well, perhaps
you'd like to

give it a try.

Shakespeare?
Aunt march, who's he?

A playwright, now
please open to page 204.

Uh-huh.

You can begin with japhet.

Yes ma'am.

Just a minute, I'll find it.

I'm ready to start.

Then what are
you waiting for? Begin.

Yes ma'am.

Hmmm, a fool a fool...

I met a fool in the forest.

You met a fool in the
forest, auntie march?

It's in the play, child.

I met a fool in the forest who

laid himself down.

Yes, I got it now.

And real led a lady for um...

And real led a lady for
tune in good set terms.

In good set terms?

And then he, and
then he... huh?

Oh, and then he was a fool.

I'm afraid you need
some more practice, Amy.

But you mustn't despair.

Shakespeare is almost
impossible to interpret

when one has as little
training in

elocution as you have.

I'll go look for
Josephine now, ma'am.

It's not much farther now, Jo.

I think you'll love it.

From what you say, I'm
sure it's a beautiful

house, but I'm more
concerned about how much

the rent will be.

You mustn't be so
pessimistic, Josephine.

I'm being practical.

Don't worry, nobody's
breaking the door down to

rent the house.

It could be that the
owners are just waiting

until the right
family comes along.

Yeah, that's the spirit.

They'll welcome you
with open arms I bet.

Wait a minute, this
house sounds so perfect,

there's got to be
something wrong.

Well, it may be in
need of a few

minor repairs, that's all.

Oh?

Minor repairs?

And just what do you
mean by minor, Anthony?

Well, come along
and see for yourself Josephine.

Wait a minute, Anthony?

You'll see what i
mean when you get there.

- Wow!
- Like it?

It's fantastic! I love it!

I was sure you would.

It has wonderful variety.

It looks like it
was built in stages.

Oh, look at that octagonal roof.

Oh, Anthony, is
that a barn or what?

I understand that the
previous tenants were in

the glass business.

Oh, and that
was their workshop?

They probably had
it built to their own

specifications.

Can we look inside?

Okay, the manager
should have an

extra set of keys.

I'll run and get them.

I couldn't ask you to do that.

You've already helped
me more than I deserve.

No, believe me,
it's my pleasure, Jo.

You see, I forgot to tell
you the manager is my cousin.

Well, that's different.

And the grounds
are just perfect.

Yes, but what was it
like inside the house, Jo?

Charming, tasteful
and old-fashioned.

Exactly what we've
been looking for.

All I want to know is
if there's enough room.

More than enough.

Amy and Beth will be quite
comfortable in the rumpus

room, and you and I will
finally be able to have

rooms of our own, Meg.

You want to know what
i think about your plan?

Here's what I think
about your plan, blech!

You haven't even
seen the house, Amy...

Blech.

I'm still concerned why
a house of such quality

has been vacant for so long.

Well, that's because the
house has been

waiting for a family like us.

Mr. gardener, the
owner of the house,

moved to Italy, and he
wrote a letter to the

manager saying he wouldn't
be back for ten years.

And I told them to
rent the house to

a responsible family.
Well, that's us.

So it never really
was on the market,

and it was shown to you
because the manager

is the cousin of that
young reporter?

That's right.

But Jo, the house
wouldn't really be ours.

We would have to give it
up whenever he

decided to return home.

My gosh, Meg, we're
talking about a

whole ten years' time.

Well, that's a
fair amount of time.

Amy will be all grown
up and away at college by

then, marmee.

Who knows what might
happen in the next ten years.

That's true.

And anyway, your father
will be home long before

we have to make a decision.

I think we would be well
advised to see the place

just as soon as possible.

I'm coming, too, marmee.

- Me, too, please.
- Oh, I almost forgot.

Forgot what, dear?

Beth, it has a grand
piano in the living room?

A piano?

Uh-huh, that's
what I said all right.

Just waiting for you.

Really? Gosh.

Marmee, can I play
on it tomorrow?

Uh-huh, i
don't see why not.

It seems to me we should
all be in on the decision.

- Yay!
- Oh, dear.

Hello, Jo?

Good morning, Anthony,
I'm over here, hi.

So, what do you think?

Great, we explored the
whole house yesterday.

It's exactly what we wanted.

You know, Jo, I haven't
been in this place

since I was a child.

I think I'll wander
around a bit and

just refresh my memory.

Hey, what brings
you here today?

Oh, a beautiful day, you,

and a rare moment of free time.

Anthony, guess what?

Mother decided to
rent the house.

Here, let me
help you with that.

So I intend to make
good use of

this wonderful building.

Oh, golly, look at this place.

Very interesting.

There's still some
unused glass over here.

Heaven knows what, but
i guess you'll find some

purpose for those.

It's going to
take some fixing up,

but it's just perfect.
And the light...

Uh-huh.

They left a lot of
junk behind them.

You'll begin to
appreciate this place when

I get it cleaned up.

I appreciate it now.

What are you going
to use it for?

I haven't made up my mind yet,

but you can be sure
that when I do,

it won't go to waste.

You know, considering
the size and the built in

privacy, you might
consider using it

as a work room.

You mean a studio, don't you?

Uh-huh.

Well, you're probably
going to want a place to

write, aren't you?

Do you really expect me
to write my book in here?

Uh-huh.

You're asking
for an awful lot,

Mr. Anthony Boone.

After all, it is quite small.

It's not bad when you
compare it to the size of

the room I have to write in.

Hey, look at this.

I'm surprised you even
remembered that I'm a writer.

Now, what's that's
supposed to mean, Jo.

I had no trouble remembering.

My editor requested
that I bring you in.

He wants to talk to you.

Really? You can't
be serious.

I'm perfectly serious.

He thinks your story
is really marvelous.

I'm surprised he even
bothered to read it.

Then this will
surprise you even more.

He told me that he wants
to buy it from you.

Really? Don't toy with me,
Anthony.

He wants my story?

Uh-huh, but for
the life of me,

I'll never know why.

Hooray! Your editor knows
talent when he reads it.

Excuse me? Hi!

Top of the
morning to you, Amy.

And a good good morning
to you, Mr. Boone.

Thank you very much for
finding us

this wonderful house.

What do you want?

Marmee's looking
for you, Josephine.

I wonder what for?

You should go see
what she wants, Jo,

don't you imagine?

You're right.

Gee, look at this place.

I could pretend that this
was an English theater,

and I was a famous
actress giving a command

performance for
the king and queen.

To be or not, and
that is what is,

the really big question.

That's Shakespeare, i believe.

Here's your manuscript fee.

Oh, this makes me very proud.

I'm aware that $2 is
not much for a manuscript,

young lady, however...

Yes?

Just as soon as your
writing shows some

improvement, so
will the guarantee.

I like to support young
talent in every way possible.

I really do appreciate it.

Uh-huh. Don't mention it.

Anthony may not realize
what he's reading,

but in my opinion, it's great.

Yeah?

Don't bother right now
concerning yourself

with technical stuff.

You'll be a great writer
someday, I guarantee it.

- Thanks.
- Uh-huh.

- Excuse me, sir.
- I beg your pardon.

I'm sorry, i wasn't looking.

That's all right.

- Bye.
- Wait...

I did it!

I'm going to be a
success after all.

Jo? Jo?

Hey, I understand your
family's leaving march manor.

That's right.

But why are you smiling, Jo?

You can't be happy about it.

That's just for me to know.

Well, I'm not
very happy about it.

I'm sorry about that,
but I can't worry about

your peace of mind.

Hey, if you'd like, you
could ride back to the

house with me.

I'd rather walk.

You don't have very
much respect for me, do you?

Get up there, ya!

- Wait a minute.
- Whoa, yes?

Thanks, I've changed my mind.

It will be a pleasure
to ride with you.

We have plenty of
sheets and warm blankets

in this house, so please
feel free to

take whatever you need.

I appreciate your
generosity, aunt march.

I imagine you're still
missing many of

the basic essentials.

Yes, we are.

Aha. Tell me, my dear, can you
afford to purchase them?

I'm not that sure.

As best, it's probably
going to be difficult.

Mary, I'd be honored if
you'd allow me to help.

Oh, my goodness, no.

You've already done more
than anyone could

ask of a person.

Oh, come now, that's nonsense.

There are not that many
things left for me

to do with my money.

You need not worry
about us, aunt march.

We have enough money for now,

and you've demonstrated
great kindness by opening

up your house and your
arms to me and my family.

Then allow me the
pleasure of giving you a

house warming gift.

Oh, my, I'm afraid it
won't be the same around

here after you leave.

I'll be a lonely old
woman again, Mary.

My, your nephew
Frederick certainly wasn't

wrong about you.
You're special.

Me, special?

Uh-huh.

You really are, aunt march.

You've become very close
and very dear

to all of us.

Oh, Mary, I've become
a selfish, narrow minded,

miserly old spinster.

You're one of the most
generous people I know.

Now it's you
who are being kind.

- Aunt march?
- Huh?

About the house warming
gift, may I reconsider?

I wish you would.

That would make me very happy.

I realize this may
seem like a very unusual

request I'm about to make.

Before our family left York,

I promised each of my
daughters I'd buy

them a new dress.

If you would like to buy them,

I'm sure they'd be thrilled
beyond your imagination.

You mean it's just a
matter of a new wardrobe.

I was afraid it would
break their hearts to

learn there wouldn't
be any new dresses,

and as I said before,
there was just no way I

could afford it and
still furnish the house.

It would be my very,
very great pleasure.

If you give me
their measurements,

I will see to it that
everything is

taken care of.

Forgive me for
being so forward.

- Oh, don't be silly.
- Hmmm.

Oh, there is one thing
you could do for me?

I'd be happy to.

It's about your
daughter Josephine.

Yes?

Yes, come in.

Hi, marmee.

Hello, aunt march,
please excuse me.

I've got something wonderful to

tell both of you.

Well, Josephine, your
timing is perfect.

We were just speaking about you.

Please, aunt march, let
me tell you what happened

to me this around before
you continue your conversation.

Well, since you're so eager.

Why, thank you. I'm a writer.

I've sold my story
to the newspaper.

Oh!

The editor loved
what I had to say,

and he paid me for the
publishing rights.

I think that's
absolutely marvelous.

Yes, it is.

If it so pleases your
royal majesty on this fine

day, may this humble
servant please give you

her first monies.

Oh, how wonderful.

$2.

Oh, my goodness.

Why, that's hardly
enough for paper.

It suits me just fine.

Be that as it may, i
would think one would

receive much more for the sale
of an original composition.

I believe our Josephine
has sold her talents

much too cheaply.

Oh, my, Josephine, it
makes me so proud to be

the mother of such a
famous young writer.

It does?

I've never been this
proud of anyone, dear.

Oh, I'm so happy!

You wanted to say
something, auntie?

Me? Humph.

Well.

How's my favorite
aunt this afternoon,

and how are the
visiting marches?

Good afternoon, David.

Oh, it seems I've
interrupted something.

Would you like me to wait
in the parlor for a while?

You can do as you like,
but don't disturb us.

We're discussing a
very important matter.

Hmmm, I understand perfectly,

but if it won't be too
much of an imposition,

I'd like to remain.

- Now, Josephine?
- Yes ma'am?

Would you consider
remaining here with me as

my ward and companion?

Do you want know
stay and live with

you, aunt march?

Yes, you heard me right,

and what is your
answer, Josephine?

Well, I'm not sure.

I will consider
adoption if you'd rather.

Auntie march!?

You'll what?!

I'd greatly appreciate
no more interruptions.

I'm addressing
myself to Josephine.

I can't.

This is quite
sudden, aunt march.

Take a moment, my
dear, by all means.

How can you make
such an offer, auntie.

You'd be giving
away your fortune.

That's my business, David.

But you can't! That
inheritance is mine!

You may wait in the
parlor, young man.

Humph!

- My answer is no.
- Huh?

Aunt march, I'm
terribly sorry,

but there's just no way
i could leave my family.

They're all depending on
me to help support them.

It's true, marmee,
you'll be needing help.

Uh-huh, but you
must come to your own

decisions, Josephine.

I'm not surprised.

I expected you to turn
down my offer, Josephine.

Oh really?

You needn't worry.

I'm not the type of person
who needs to hide the way

they feel, though
sometimes I've found

honesty demands a high
price, understand?

I understand, aunt march.

Now, then, I have a
small favor to ask of you.

Yes?

An offer I hope you'll accept.

An offer?

Polly and Harry need
to be looked after,

and I need someone to
read to me and write

my letters, too.

And of course,
they must be a good

conversationalist, as well.

Then I'll be able to
come during the day and go

back home at night?

Absolutely, and if i
have a visitor or I'm

taking a nap, your
time is your own.

You can peruse the
books in the library,

work on your novel or
take a walk around the property.

Yes.

Not only that, I'll
double the amount you

received from your first
manuscript, $4 a week.

That will give you added
financial security

I should think.

Yes.

Oh, no.

Amy march, I hope that
all of your

chores are finished.

I've cleaned up my room,

if that's what you mean.

Oh, that was fast, wasn't it?

I'm not in the habit
of wasting my time, Meg.

Where's Beth?

I don't know, maybe
she's up in her room.

Going over what you
forgot to finish, I bet.

Oh, there she is.

Hi, Meg, have you finished?

Yes, I have.

Say, why don't we all
go pay aunt march a visit?

I'm bored. This piano's
so out of tune,

it's difficult to play.

Maybe I can make
it sound better.

Help yourself,
I'm finished now.

Okay.

Let's see, um...

It sounds wonderful
to me, and you Beth?

Beth?

Well?

It sounds better when she plays.

I agree.

We moved in a
little while later.

I didn't get my own
room, but Jo was right,

the room was big.

Beth played the piano
every day until we had to

go back to school.
