Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy ♪

Now that we had moved
into our new house,

life was beginning
to settle down.

Meg was hired as a tutor,
and Jo was still companion

to aunt march.

Beth was simply too
shy to go to school,

so mother said there was
no need to worry and she

could look after the
house for a while.

I had started public school,

and even though I liked
it, my teacher, Mr. Davis,

was as nervous as a witch.

Therefore, tardiness was
not something he

looked upon lightly.

So I knew I would have to
answer to him that morning,

and I was prepared
for the worst.

You appear to be late, missy.

It only takes one bad
apple to spoil the barrel.

Until this moment, we
had a perfect

attendance record.

Now that's been spoiled.

I want perfection, and
perfection I'll get.

Oh, yes, I almost forgot.

Someone brought
gum drops to class.

I won't have it.

You're all perfectly
familiar with the

rules, I assume.

Believe me, I will
publicly punish the

culprit who broke the law.

Old Davis is a bear.

I want the law breaker's name.

Which one of you wants
to admit it to me?

I want complete and
absolute obedience

in my classroom.

Oh!

Someone in this class
must have done it.

I'm quickly losing
my Patience, ladies.

Miss march, are you awake?

I am.

That's encouraging.

Since you're quite
new to our school,

perhaps you're not
aware of our rules

yet, young lady.

Tell me, did you bring
the candy, my dear?

No I didn't, Mr. Davis.

I'm new, sir, but I'm
trying to be obedient and

follow the rules as best I can.

Well, I'm most happy
to hear about that,

but still you were almost
late for my class.

And it had better not
happen again, miss tardy.

It won't, sir.

Now, then, anymore
disobedient behavior,

and someone's going to
feel the weight of my switch.

Therefore, may I remind
you there will be no

chewing gum, nut meats,
novels, newspapers,

or nicknames.

I assume that's understood.

I am not in the habit of
breaking my promises ever,

and neither is
this little fellow.

Mock me, and you're going
to pay the price for it.

You can bank on it, ladies, see!

See you later, Jo.

It sounds like you're
coming down with a

cold, Beth, are you?

No, I'll be fine, don't fret.

Well, you know
how fragile you are.

Beth, I think you should
stay in bed for the rest

of the day and let Hannah
finish the chores for you.

Hmmm, well, I'm not
sick enough for that.

Well, don't
overdo it, you hear?

Are you ready, Meg?
Let's go.

Coming.

Then it's settled,
tomorrow afternoon at 3.

I'll be sure to tell
Mrs. king about it, mother.

Thanks, Meg.

What were you and
mother talking about?

Oh, nothing much.

Mrs. king told me that she
wanted to make a donation

to the soldier's home.

And since marmee is in charge,

she wanted to go over
and get it as soon as possible.

Well, if it were up to me,

I'd suggest that she
donate some good manners

to those children of hers.

Now that I'm their tutor,

maybe they'll behave
a little better.

Bye, milky Ann, you be good.

Forget something?

Huh huh.

You know, Jo, i
was just thinking.

Even though we've only
been in new court two

months, I feel quite happy here.

If only father
were home with us,

everything would be perfect.

Hmmm.

You girls stop dawdling now,

or you'll both be late.

Oh, my gosh, come on!

- Good bye, mother.
- Bye, we'll see you later!

Golly, that's a
beautiful carriage.

My, they sure are in a hurry.

Heavens, that's Mr.
Lawrence our neighbor.

I wonder where he's
off to so early.

He's not too pleasant.

Why does he always
look so grumpy?

I just think he
must be very lonely.

It must be terrible
not to have anybody.

We're so fortunate.

I'm sorry for him.

We must do our very
best to become

friends with him.

Four girls and a cat
should make him smile.

You're looking mighty pale.

You ought to go upstairs
and rest, child.

There's too
much to do, Hannah.

- Beth?
- Yes?

It's late, I'll be
back home at lunch time.

All right, mother.

My goodness, dear, is
it possible you have a bit

of a cold coming on?

That sure is right.

I've been telling her she
ought to go upstairs and

stay in her room.

But I'm not quite
finished with

my chores yet.

Let me worry
about the finishing.

That's right, Beth,
listen to Hannah now.

I want to see you upstairs
tucked into bed

when I get home.

And I promise I won't
be gone for long.

But I really do feel
fine, marmee, I mean it.

Is that so?

Well, if you want to
keep me from worrying,

you'll go up to bed and
stay there until

you feel better.

I don't want this
developing into something

more serious, dear.

That's right, little
lady, there you go.

I'll be up to see you
in a little while.

- Must I?
- Uh-huh.

I'll try to be back
a little early, Hannah.

Don't you worry
about a thing, ma'am.

Bye.

Oh...

We mustn't worry marmee
when she has so many

things to think about,
right, milky Ann?

Aunt march...

Well, let's see...

How about sharing
that with me?

I said, how about
sharing that with me?

I'm sorry, would
you like some tea?

It's hardly time for that.

Your mind is certainly
distracted by

those books, isn't it?

Oh, well, your father also
had a passion for them.

I hope he comes back soon.

It's not the same without him.

Yes, I suppose not.

Tell me, now, has there
been word from him?

No.

Has he been told the
family left Pennsylvania

for a new home?

Yes, ma'am, we sent
word to his commander

because we don't
know where he is.

His unit's always moving,
but we hope he's been told.

It's important that he
knows what's happening.

Once I dreamt that he
went back to Pennsylvania,

and there was no one
there to greet him.

It would be a blessing
if he didn't have to worry

about what was going on at home,

and I shall give the
department of the army a

piece of my mind.

Doing a fine
job here, corporal.

Thank you, sir, we're
just about on schedule.

We should be across by tomorrow.

It may not be soon enough.

The word is the 8th
Tennessee regulars are

planning an attack
in this sector.

You men up on the bridge,

get out of way now!

Get off of that
bridge immediately!

Take cover!

Whoa!
Captain march?

Over here, behind the wagon!

Captain march?

Glad I found you, sir.

Dispatch from colonel
Templeton, private?

No, sir, it's from the
department of the army,

and it says here that it's
private and confidential.

Oh.

Not bad news, is it, sir?

No, the department is
informing me that my wife

and daughters have
finally been moved to a

place where they'll be safe.

Good.

Hit the ground, private!

This way.

Here.

Come on!

It's up ahead.

Well, this is it.

This is where we meet,

and we've decided to
make you a member of our

special club, but you must
promise never to tell.

What kind of club is it?

Well, it's a secret
candy club that meets

every recess.

If old Davis found out,
he'd most likely raise the

roof and then some.

We draw straws, and the
one who gets the longest

one brings the
candy, right Katie?

That's right.

That's asking for
trouble, isn't it?

Maybe, but it's
sure worth a chance.

Go on, Amy, don't worry.

Come on and pick one.

If you get caught, all
you do is swallow it.

The red ones are my favorite.

Nothing terrible is going
to happen, Amy, really,

try it.

Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm.

Well, all right.

Now, Amy, are you going
to promise not to tell

anyone about our club?

Uh-huh.

You didn't take
part in it, did you?

Yes, I did.

With a teacher as
strict as Mr. Davis,

it's hard not to break the
rules once in a while.

That's a poor reason.

Can't you try a little harder?

Uh-huh, but I don't
know if I can do

it for long.

Why, Amy, next i
suppose you'll tell me you

ate gum drops in the classroom.

Not quite, and it
wasn't a gum drop.

Besides, we wouldn't be
silly enough to eat them

where we could get caught.

Amy, you know sweets
aren't allowed in school.

You're going to get in
trouble with your teacher.

But he has so many rules,

it's difficult to obey them.

Really it's impossible.

If we break just one, he
disciplines everyone so

severely that we can
barely stand it.

And not only that, he
carries a big

whip in his hands.

That is a bit harsh.

So now you see why i
disobey, don't you agree?

Absolutely not.

It isn't proper to use
disobedience to

solve your problems.

Oh, I suppose
you're right, Beth.

For mother's sake,
please try to do better.

All right, I will.

From now on I'm going to
be the best pupil

in newcord.

Why do we have to
go in now, miss march?

Can't we stay out and play?

I'm sorry, Cathy,
but it's time for your

arithmetic lesson.

Let's go in.

But we don't want
to learn that stuff.

We want to go to the harbor.

I want to see the trains!

Tom, Cathy, you
children behave! Huh?

That's Mr. Lawrence again.

Do you know that
man, miss march?

Why, yes.

He's the gentleman who
lives right

next door to us.

Well, he has a mean, bad face,

and I'm ascared of him.

Cathy, it's dreadfully
impolite to judge a person

by the way they might appear.

And now it is up to your room.

Let's play!

No, we're going in now!

Don't wanna, let's go now!

Come on, I want
some gum drops!

Children!

As far as we could tell,

Mr. Lawrence was a man
who rarely ventured out.

But that day, Meg saw him twice.

It appeared that he had
something most

important to do.

Well, it won't be long now.

Two years is a long time.

I wonder if he missed me
as much as I

have missed him.

- Grandfather!
- Laurie.

I'm happy to be back,
grandpa, I really am.

Huh? Well, nice to have you
back home, Theodore.

Thank you.

Is that valise all the
luggage you have with you?

Yes, the rest of my
belongings should be

arriving from Paris
on the next train.

Fine, I'll send the
coach man for them.

Theodore, I sent you to
Europe to study because I

believe that without broad
knowledge and education,

you wouldn't be able
to take over the

responsibilities that
will one day be yours.

I know, sir.

Have you decided which
university to go to?

Huh?

I expect you to
continue your education.

Why must I?

You're my only
living heir, Ted.

You must be prepared to
take my place and fulfill

your duties.

Grandpa, I had hoped i
would be able to make

up my own mind.

The matter has
already been settled.

I have engaged an
able tutor for you.

You will be expected to take

your studies seriously.

My boy, it is my fondest
wish that you carry

on the Lawrence name.

Since this country was founded,

the lawrences have
supplied the great ships

that bring teas, silks and
spices from

across the ocean.

It is my hope that you
will carry on that tradition.

Do you understand?

- Yes, sir.
- Good, I knew you would.

It's just as beautiful
as I remembered.

I think I'm going to like
living in newcord again.

Grandfather?
- Yes?

I was just wondering.

The people who lived
next door before I left,

they were very nice to me, sir.

Have they moved away from here?

Yes.

That's too bad.

They behaved very kindly
towards me when

I was younger.

Is somebody else
living there now?

They just moved in.

Family of females, i
knew their grandfather.

Just girls?

Father's gone right now.

What happened to him?

Nothing, he's a
union army officer now.

Welcome back to newcord, Mr.
Laurie.

We've missed you.

Thank you, I'm
glad to be back.

I wonder who that handsome

looking gentleman is.

Oh.

Nice to see you, sir,

welcome home.

Thank you, good to be home.

And as you can see, not
many changes have taken

place, and your room is
just as it was

when you left it.

And that will be all,
please return to your duties.

Thank you.

Theodore, if you're
feeling somewhat tired,

why don't you go up and
rest before we have lunch?

Really, sir, I'll
not a bit tired.

Well, I am.

Oh, it's good to have you home.

Thank you.

Indeed, sir.

The old gentleman has
missed you most of all.

I missed him.

He arrived in Mr.
Lawrence's carriage,

and he's so handsome.

That's his
grandson, I believe.

Did you catch his name, Amy?

Well, I think
they call him, ahhh...

Gee, I don't know
what they called him.

Oh, well, it
doesn't matter anyway.

It's no concern of mine.

I'm glad he's back.

I think that's all
the family he has.

I'm home, marmee.
Oh, what's wrong?

Has anything happened?

No, Meg, nothing important,

except that Mr. Lawrence
has a handsome grandson

who's just come back home.

Meg, it's so bright
and clear today.

I've just got to show you
the beautiful view

from my room.

Hurry up, Meg, you're
really going to love it.

Know what?

I think it's nicer
from your room.

Jo, dear, what is?

The view.

Oh, yes. Look.

Oh, I don't know when I've
seen such a beautiful day.

The air is so clear and fine.

We certainly never had
a few like there

in Pennsylvania.
Isn't it lovely?

Oh, Jo, how you do go on.

It's inspirational i tell you.

It makes me want to sit
down and write a story.

Oh!

Oh!

What is it?

I think it's him, he saw me.

Who saw you?

Mr. Lawrence's
grandson.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

There isn't anyone
out there at all.

Your imagination's
playing tricks on you.

Come see for yourself, see?

Jo tried awfully hard
to seem unruffled by the

sudden appearance
of our new neighbor,

but Meg wasn't the least
bit convinced

by her performance.
