13
00:00:52,291 --> 00:00:54,151
It's summer vacation and Meg's been away
14
00:00:54,152 --> 00:00:56,421
at the Moffats' house for three weeks now.
15
00:00:56,422 --> 00:00:58,127
I wish I could've gone too.
16
00:00:58,128 --> 00:00:59,732
You can't play, Milky.
17
00:00:59,733 --> 00:01:01,336
Why don't you leave the butterfly alone
18
00:01:01,337 --> 00:01:04,476
and go find a mouse or
something like that?
19
00:01:04,477 --> 00:01:07,548
You're gonna hurt yourself, Milky!
20
00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:11,166
I'm so glad she listens to me.
21
00:01:15,639 --> 00:01:18,522
She can take care
of herself just fine, Amy.
22
00:01:18,523 --> 00:01:20,620
I hope you're right.
23
00:01:20,621 --> 00:01:22,818
Why do you sound so sad, Amy?
24
00:01:22,819 --> 00:01:23,698
I miss Meg.
25
00:01:23,699 --> 00:01:25,681
I've been thinking about her all day.
26
00:01:25,682 --> 00:01:26,562
Oh really?
27
00:01:26,563 --> 00:01:28,657
Yes, I keep wondering
what she's been doing
28
00:01:28,658 --> 00:01:30,729
with her free time at the Moffats'.
29
00:01:30,730 --> 00:01:33,681
I would imagine that
she's having a lot of fun.
30
00:01:33,682 --> 00:01:35,345
Really?
31
00:01:35,346 --> 00:01:36,346
Hm.
32
00:01:41,493 --> 00:01:43,752
I should've been invited
to the Moffats' too.
33
00:01:43,753 --> 00:01:44,824
Mm hmm.
34
00:01:44,825 --> 00:01:46,065
Don't you agree?
35
00:01:46,066 --> 00:01:47,249
That's right.
36
00:01:47,250 --> 00:01:49,416
Hannah, how do you think
Meg's spending her vacation time
37
00:01:49,417 --> 00:01:50,942
at the Moffats' house?
38
00:01:50,943 --> 00:01:53,077
I imagine she's havin' a real good time.
39
00:01:53,078 --> 00:01:55,668
Marmee said I was too
young to go with Meg.
40
00:01:55,669 --> 00:01:59,539
Your Marmee's right.
41
00:01:59,540 --> 00:02:03,707
One day I'll be invited
to rich people's houses too.
42
00:02:06,016 --> 00:02:09,433
Jo, it's Amy.
43
00:02:13,057 --> 00:02:14,734
What is it, Amy?
44
00:02:14,735 --> 00:02:17,487
Excuse me, Jo, I'm sorry.
45
00:02:17,488 --> 00:02:18,321
Well?
46
00:02:18,322 --> 00:02:21,725
Jo, what do you think
Meg is doing right now?
47
00:02:21,726 --> 00:02:24,137
She's probably getting
ready for tomorrow's ball.
48
00:02:24,138 --> 00:02:26,658
From what I hear, it's
going to be very special.
49
00:02:26,659 --> 00:02:28,932
I'm sure she's having a lot of fun, Amy.
50
00:02:28,933 --> 00:02:31,670
Golly, how do you know what
she's doing all the time?
51
00:02:31,671 --> 00:02:34,546
I imagined all of it, and
I imagine that I'm right.
52
00:02:34,547 --> 00:02:37,949
Oh Jo, how I wish I was
preparing for the ball with her.
53
00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:39,480
It sounds so lovely!
54
00:02:39,481 --> 00:02:42,373
I don't care for the
Moffat family personally.
55
00:02:42,374 --> 00:02:44,600
Now if you have nothing
more important to say,
56
00:02:44,601 --> 00:02:46,546
please let me work.
57
00:02:46,547 --> 00:02:48,152
Mm hmm!
58
00:02:48,153 --> 00:02:51,400
You make me so angry sometimes.
59
00:02:58,313 --> 00:03:02,313
Oh, I'm happy to see
you're having fun, Milky.
60
00:03:04,501 --> 00:03:05,923
Marmee!
61
00:03:05,924 --> 00:03:08,022
Marmee.
- Hello, Amy dear.
62
00:03:08,023 --> 00:03:10,373
Can't I go visit Meg and see how wealthy
63
00:03:10,374 --> 00:03:12,193
the Moffats really are, Marmee?
64
00:03:12,194 --> 00:03:15,251
Well, I don't think you're
quite ready for that yet.
65
00:03:15,252 --> 00:03:17,322
Maybe one day when you get older, Amy.
66
00:03:17,323 --> 00:03:19,187
I can't wait.
67
00:03:19,188 --> 00:03:20,026
Hi, Amy.
68
00:03:20,027 --> 00:03:22,516
I think Milky was looking for you.
69
00:03:22,517 --> 00:03:24,604
Come here, Milky.
70
00:03:24,605 --> 00:03:26,212
Can you believe how lucky Meg is
71
00:03:26,213 --> 00:03:28,084
to go to a ball tomorrow?
72
00:03:28,085 --> 00:03:30,775
I didn't realize it
was happening so quickly.
73
00:03:30,776 --> 00:03:34,177
Yes, and then two days after
that there's another one.
74
00:03:34,178 --> 00:03:35,647
My goodness, the Moffat girls
75
00:03:35,648 --> 00:03:38,815
certainly lead busy lives, don't they?
76
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:48,778
I just know I'm going to
meet a wonderful man tonight.
77
00:03:48,779 --> 00:03:50,503
I can feel it.
78
00:03:50,504 --> 00:03:52,561
I wish you the best of luck, Sally dear,
79
00:03:52,562 --> 00:03:54,911
but I wouldn't get my
hopes up if I were you.
80
00:03:54,912 --> 00:03:56,283
Oh, why not?
81
00:03:56,284 --> 00:03:58,878
Because even though the men
invited tonight are wealthy,
82
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:00,676
most of them are elderly and married.
83
00:04:00,677 --> 00:04:02,145
Thursday's ball will be better.
84
00:04:02,146 --> 00:04:04,604
Oh, men are men, young,
old, rich, or poor.
85
00:04:04,605 --> 00:04:05,780
What's the difference?
86
00:04:05,781 --> 00:04:07,280
Oh, don't listen to her.
87
00:04:07,281 --> 00:04:08,240
Turn around, Meg.
88
00:04:08,241 --> 00:04:10,033
Let me see if I can
fluff up your gown a bit.
89
00:04:10,034 --> 00:04:11,332
Old men, huh?
90
00:04:11,333 --> 00:04:13,173
We'll have to be on our
best behavior, girls,
91
00:04:13,174 --> 00:04:15,230
so as not to offend them.
92
00:04:15,231 --> 00:04:17,503
That shouldn't be too
difficult, now should it?
93
00:04:17,504 --> 00:04:19,344
It will be practice for Thursday.
94
00:04:21,186 --> 00:04:22,190
Won't it, Annie?
95
00:04:22,191 --> 00:04:23,057
Well?
96
00:04:23,058 --> 00:04:25,190
As for myself, I find it easy to dance
97
00:04:25,191 --> 00:04:26,904
with a wealthy man of any age.
98
00:04:32,988 --> 00:04:33,988
Yes?
99
00:04:35,619 --> 00:04:37,990
Hello Belle.
- Belle!
100
00:04:37,991 --> 00:04:40,274
You look absolutely stunning.
101
00:04:40,275 --> 00:04:44,218
Your dress is gorgeous, and that necklace.
102
00:04:44,219 --> 00:04:45,807
What was the laughter about?
103
00:04:45,808 --> 00:04:47,404
You girls'll get wrinkles if you continue
104
00:04:47,405 --> 00:04:48,920
to giggle like that.
105
00:04:48,921 --> 00:04:50,668
We're all dressed and ready, Belle.
106
00:04:50,669 --> 00:04:52,554
Have the guests arrived yet?
107
00:04:52,555 --> 00:04:54,983
Yes, there are quite a
few of them downstairs.
108
00:04:54,984 --> 00:04:57,906
Your gowns look very becoming too, girls.
109
00:04:57,907 --> 00:04:58,835
Thank you, Belle.
110
00:04:58,836 --> 00:05:02,422
Coming from you that's a true compliment.
111
00:05:02,423 --> 00:05:03,423
Ooh.
112
00:05:04,392 --> 00:05:05,392
Ooh ooh ooh.
113
00:05:06,696 --> 00:05:09,113
My, my, what do we have here?
114
00:05:10,841 --> 00:05:12,882
You are naturally beautiful, Meg,
115
00:05:12,883 --> 00:05:15,511
but that gown won't do at all.
116
00:05:15,512 --> 00:05:18,555
- This is all I have.
- What a pity.
117
00:05:18,556 --> 00:05:21,760
We're going to have to do
something to fix you up.
118
00:05:21,761 --> 00:05:24,714
You shouldn't have to go
downstairs looking so childish.
119
00:05:24,715 --> 00:05:25,548
Thank you.
120
00:05:25,549 --> 00:05:27,483
Don't mention it, please.
121
00:05:27,484 --> 00:05:30,669
Annie, would you be so kind
as to go to your jewelry box
122
00:05:30,670 --> 00:05:33,221
and get me your beautiful
red diamond pendant?
123
00:05:33,222 --> 00:05:35,293
I think it will provide
just the touch Meg needs
124
00:05:35,294 --> 00:05:37,241
to primp up her dismal outfit.
125
00:05:37,242 --> 00:05:38,242
All right.
126
00:05:39,192 --> 00:05:41,696
Thanks, but I don't
really need it, Belle.
127
00:05:41,697 --> 00:05:43,381
Don't be so shy, Meg.
128
00:05:43,382 --> 00:05:45,469
Annie won't be wearing it anyway.
129
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:48,146
I'm afraid your hair looks
rather plain as well, Meg.
130
00:05:48,147 --> 00:05:50,358
We won't be able to do
anything about it tonight,
131
00:05:50,359 --> 00:05:54,161
but by the next ball, I'll make
sure it's done up properly.
132
00:05:54,162 --> 00:05:55,162
Mm hmm.
133
00:05:56,808 --> 00:05:58,548
There we are, Meg.
134
00:05:58,549 --> 00:06:01,676
Oh that goes
perfectly with your dress, Meg.
135
00:06:01,677 --> 00:06:02,626
It's lovely.
136
00:06:02,627 --> 00:06:04,791
Mm, absolutely perfect.
137
00:06:04,792 --> 00:06:06,322
You're going to outshine all of us.
138
00:06:06,323 --> 00:06:08,323
It's stunning.
139
00:06:09,643 --> 00:06:10,771
Woah!
140
00:06:10,772 --> 00:06:12,287
Slow it down there.
141
00:06:12,288 --> 00:06:13,772
Woah.
142
00:06:15,583 --> 00:06:16,850
You girls must see the gown
143
00:06:16,851 --> 00:06:18,501
I bought for Thursday night.
144
00:06:18,502 --> 00:06:20,484
I bought two of them and
don't know which to wear.
145
00:06:23,197 --> 00:06:24,937
Life is so difficult, girls.
146
00:06:26,030 --> 00:06:28,008
Oh, I wonder who that is.
147
00:06:28,009 --> 00:06:29,009
Yes?
148
00:06:30,597 --> 00:06:32,824
Oh look girls,
if I don't miss my guess,
149
00:06:32,825 --> 00:06:34,030
those are flowers.
150
00:06:34,031 --> 00:06:35,948
Open it quickly, Annie.
151
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,103
Oh!
152
00:06:40,586 --> 00:06:41,419
Ooh.
153
00:06:41,420 --> 00:06:42,867
Oh my.
154
00:06:42,868 --> 00:06:45,837
No doubt this is Belle's
present from her fiancee.
155
00:06:45,838 --> 00:06:48,326
He always sends her the
most wonderful flowers,
156
00:06:48,327 --> 00:06:52,101
although this bouquet is
particularly ravishing, Belle.
157
00:06:52,102 --> 00:06:53,462
- Mm hmm.
- He sent a card.
158
00:06:53,463 --> 00:06:54,510
Open it!
159
00:06:54,511 --> 00:06:57,391
You can give
it to me now, Portence.
160
00:06:57,392 --> 00:06:59,200
I'm afraid it's not for you.
161
00:06:59,201 --> 00:07:01,210
What, it's for Meg?
162
00:07:01,211 --> 00:07:03,067
Are you positive, Portence?
163
00:07:03,068 --> 00:07:04,381
- Yes ma'am.
- My word.
164
00:07:04,382 --> 00:07:05,270
I'm sure.
165
00:07:05,271 --> 00:07:08,366
The messenger said it's
for Margaret March.
166
00:07:08,367 --> 00:07:10,424
Well I never.
167
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,582
It's from our friend, Laurie.
168
00:07:15,583 --> 00:07:16,416
Laurie?
169
00:07:16,417 --> 00:07:17,933
Is that Laurie Lawrence?
170
00:07:17,934 --> 00:07:18,954
Yes it is.
171
00:07:18,955 --> 00:07:22,494
My dear Meg, we didn't
know you had a boyfriend.
172
00:07:22,495 --> 00:07:23,548
Well I don't.
173
00:07:23,549 --> 00:07:26,778
Come now, Meg, we want
to hear all about him.
174
00:07:26,779 --> 00:07:29,703
But I, uh, he's just the
grandson of Mr. Lawrence
175
00:07:29,704 --> 00:07:31,358
who lives next door to us.
176
00:07:31,359 --> 00:07:33,044
Is that James Lawrence?
177
00:07:33,045 --> 00:07:34,885
The president and chairman
of the illustrious
178
00:07:34,886 --> 00:07:36,106
Newcourt Company?
179
00:07:36,107 --> 00:07:38,440
- Yes.
- Oh, you lucky dear!
180
00:07:39,657 --> 00:07:42,510
Why couldn't I meet such a man?
181
00:07:55,177 --> 00:07:58,021
Who is that lovely girl
dancing with the General, Sue?
182
00:07:58,022 --> 00:07:59,676
Why, that's Margaret March.
183
00:07:59,677 --> 00:08:01,702
She's Colonel Frederick March's girl.
184
00:08:01,703 --> 00:08:03,450
Yes, I know of him.
185
00:08:03,451 --> 00:08:06,047
I thought it would be
nice to invite her here.
186
00:08:06,048 --> 00:08:08,361
She happens to know the Lawrence family.
187
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:10,229
Oh, that's very nice.
188
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:11,397
I had no idea.
189
00:08:15,106 --> 00:08:18,275
Margaret's family has very little money.
190
00:08:18,276 --> 00:08:19,109
Really?
191
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:21,941
It's not like you to let your
girls befriend lesser folk.
192
00:08:21,942 --> 00:08:23,627
This is an exception.
193
00:08:23,628 --> 00:08:25,900
I want my girls to meet Laurie Lawrence.
194
00:08:25,901 --> 00:08:29,071
Oh, it all makes
perfect sense to me now.
195
00:08:29,072 --> 00:08:30,587
Mm hmm, of course.
196
00:08:30,588 --> 00:08:32,582
We mothers must always be concerned
197
00:08:32,583 --> 00:08:36,108
about the wellbeing of
our daughters, you know.
198
00:08:43,136 --> 00:08:45,517
Come on now, hold still
and let me brush you.
199
00:08:45,518 --> 00:08:47,821
How this dog's hair gets
all tangled in knots,
200
00:08:47,822 --> 00:08:49,180
I'll never know.
201
00:08:49,181 --> 00:08:51,827
He misses Meg's special touch.
202
00:08:51,828 --> 00:08:54,676
Well even though she's
probably having a wonderful time,
203
00:08:54,677 --> 00:08:55,755
I miss her as well.
204
00:08:55,756 --> 00:08:57,658
Hey, you're not finished yet!
205
00:08:57,659 --> 00:08:59,947
Be gentle with him, he's not strong.
206
00:08:59,948 --> 00:09:01,568
The Moffats are very different from us,
207
00:09:01,569 --> 00:09:02,947
aren't they, Auntie?
208
00:09:02,948 --> 00:09:05,422
I caution you to speak
for yourself, Josephine.
209
00:09:05,423 --> 00:09:08,407
Oh Auntie, that's not
what I meant by my remark.
210
00:09:08,408 --> 00:09:10,509
Their family is able to
enjoy the finer things
211
00:09:10,510 --> 00:09:14,114
life has to offer, while
we have to work to survive.
212
00:09:14,115 --> 00:09:14,948
Ooh.
213
00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:16,975
Meg would be touched if she realized
214
00:09:16,976 --> 00:09:19,048
how much this animal missed her.
215
00:09:19,049 --> 00:09:20,935
Your mother seems to
have raised you girls
216
00:09:20,936 --> 00:09:22,698
to think like paupers.
217
00:09:22,699 --> 00:09:24,567
How could that possibly be, Auntie?
218
00:09:24,568 --> 00:09:26,298
Surely you don't mean it.
219
00:09:26,299 --> 00:09:27,132
Why not?
220
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:30,323
You girls should be as socially
adjusted as the Moffats.
221
00:09:30,324 --> 00:09:32,763
I still think I'd rather be rich.
222
00:09:32,764 --> 00:09:35,176
Well dear, most children do.
223
00:09:35,177 --> 00:09:37,650
Unfortunately for them,
they have to grow up.
224
00:09:37,651 --> 00:09:40,233
Soon they're forced to
realize how hard life can be
225
00:09:40,234 --> 00:09:41,067
at times.
226
00:09:41,068 --> 00:09:43,574
If the Moffat girls are
ever faced with hardship,
227
00:09:43,575 --> 00:09:44,920
it will be a disaster.
228
00:09:44,921 --> 00:09:46,791
They're completely unprepared.
229
00:09:46,792 --> 00:09:49,374
I never thought of it
quite like that, Auntie.
230
00:09:49,375 --> 00:09:51,710
Now I think we don't
have it so bad after all,
231
00:09:51,711 --> 00:09:53,658
but the idea of fancy
dress balls every night
232
00:09:53,659 --> 00:09:55,112
is still appealing.
233
00:09:55,113 --> 00:09:57,216
I hope the rich
surroundings of these dances
234
00:09:57,217 --> 00:09:59,536
won't overwhelm your sister Meg.
235
00:09:59,537 --> 00:10:02,289
I'm afraid that it's very
easy for girls of lesser means
236
00:10:02,290 --> 00:10:04,965
to get caught up in all that foolishness.
237
00:10:04,966 --> 00:10:07,981
Before you know it, they start
feeling sorry for themselves
238
00:10:07,982 --> 00:10:10,156
and think the world is passing them by.
239
00:10:10,157 --> 00:10:12,399
Yes, I'm afraid your
mother made a mistake.
240
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,271
She should have investigated
the Moffats further
241
00:10:14,272 --> 00:10:16,529
before letting Meg go
away for the weekend.
242
00:10:16,530 --> 00:10:18,771
Well Auntie, they better not upset Meg.
243
00:10:18,772 --> 00:10:20,612
Her feelings are easily hurt.
244
00:10:22,376 --> 00:10:23,887
Sit down, you beast.
245
00:10:23,888 --> 00:10:25,113
Will you stop moving?
246
00:10:25,114 --> 00:10:27,216
I'm only doing this because
it makes you look nice,
247
00:10:27,217 --> 00:10:28,384
now calm down.
248
00:10:38,952 --> 00:10:39,952
Coming!
249
00:10:41,504 --> 00:10:43,219
- Good evening, Jo.
- Laurie!
250
00:10:43,220 --> 00:10:45,184
I received
something for your family, Jo.
251
00:10:45,185 --> 00:10:46,082
May I come in?
252
00:10:46,083 --> 00:10:47,411
Why certainly.
253
00:10:47,412 --> 00:10:50,319
Are you saying you didn't come
over just to see me, Laurie?
254
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,785
Well of course I did, Jo,
255
00:10:51,786 --> 00:10:53,698
but I also brought
something, a letter from Meg.
256
00:10:53,699 --> 00:10:54,532
Oh!
257
00:10:54,533 --> 00:10:56,876
Meg finally took the time to write?
258
00:10:59,370 --> 00:11:01,442
Laurie, what
a pleasant surprise.
259
00:11:01,443 --> 00:11:03,144
Good evening, Mrs. March.
260
00:11:03,145 --> 00:11:05,000
What brings you here this evening?
261
00:11:05,001 --> 00:11:07,365
I've come to deliver a special letter.
262
00:11:07,366 --> 00:11:08,665
Who from?
263
00:11:08,666 --> 00:11:09,579
Surprise!
264
00:11:09,580 --> 00:11:11,310
A messenger came tonight
and brought this letter
265
00:11:11,311 --> 00:11:12,144
to Laurie.
266
00:11:12,145 --> 00:11:13,576
It's from Meg.
267
00:11:13,577 --> 00:11:15,726
Let's open it.
268
00:11:15,727 --> 00:11:17,288
I got an invitation from the Moffats
269
00:11:17,289 --> 00:11:18,943
and your letter was enclosed.
270
00:11:18,944 --> 00:11:20,660
Mrs. Moffat has invited me to attend
271
00:11:20,661 --> 00:11:23,289
a fancy dress ball they're
having on Thursday night.
272
00:11:23,290 --> 00:11:24,262
Oh really?
273
00:11:24,263 --> 00:11:25,596
I wonder why.
274
00:11:25,597 --> 00:11:27,062
Well,
275
00:11:27,063 --> 00:11:29,420
I don't actually know for sure, Jo,
276
00:11:29,421 --> 00:11:32,080
but I think maybe it's because I sent Meg
277
00:11:32,081 --> 00:11:35,313
a bouquet of flowers the other
day, before the first ball.
278
00:11:35,314 --> 00:11:37,911
How come I never got a
bouquet from you, Laurie?
279
00:11:37,912 --> 00:11:39,164
Hm?
280
00:11:39,165 --> 00:11:40,927
Oh well, I, .
281
00:11:40,928 --> 00:11:42,472
That was very nice of you.
282
00:11:42,473 --> 00:11:44,036
Meg really loved them.
283
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:45,536
What did Meg have to say?
284
00:11:45,537 --> 00:11:47,886
What's she been doing at
the Moffats' all this time?
285
00:11:47,887 --> 00:11:50,795
Did she say anything about
a fancy ball, Marmee?
286
00:11:50,796 --> 00:11:53,145
Let's let Jo read the
letter aloud to all of us,
287
00:11:53,146 --> 00:11:54,897
all right?
- All right.
288
00:11:54,898 --> 00:11:56,400
Yes, come on Jo.
289
00:11:56,401 --> 00:11:58,177
I can't wait to hear it!
290
00:11:58,178 --> 00:11:59,802
Speak clearly.
291
00:11:59,803 --> 00:12:00,988
Oh.
292
00:12:03,647 --> 00:12:06,695
Dear Beth, Amy, Joe, and Marmee,
293
00:12:06,696 --> 00:12:10,052
so far my three weeks spent at
the Moffats' palatial estate
294
00:12:10,053 --> 00:12:12,975
has been quite an
eye-opener to say the least.
295
00:12:12,976 --> 00:12:15,341
This family is certainly wealthier
296
00:12:15,342 --> 00:12:18,203
than anyone I've ever
met in my whole life.
297
00:12:18,204 --> 00:12:20,582
Every meal is a large affair attended to
298
00:12:20,583 --> 00:12:22,611
by many butlers and maids.
299
00:12:22,612 --> 00:12:24,931
Believe me when I tell
you that our wonderful
300
00:12:24,932 --> 00:12:27,220
Christmas dinners at
home pale in comparison
301
00:12:27,221 --> 00:12:29,493
to these families' daily eating habits.
302
00:12:29,494 --> 00:12:32,215
It's all starting to
get a bit overwhelming.
303
00:12:32,216 --> 00:12:34,115
My first day, we toured the countryside
304
00:12:34,116 --> 00:12:35,634
in a lovely carriage.
305
00:12:35,635 --> 00:12:38,186
Then, I accompanied the girls on the first
306
00:12:38,187 --> 00:12:40,165
of their many shopping trips,
307
00:12:40,166 --> 00:12:43,630
and today we just went to our
third opera in as many days.
308
00:12:43,631 --> 00:12:47,141
I know you're all probably
envious of the time I'm having
309
00:12:47,142 --> 00:12:49,430
and much of it has indeed been fun,
310
00:12:49,431 --> 00:12:50,946
but spending days like this
311
00:12:50,947 --> 00:12:53,976
has made me realize
just how little we have.
312
00:12:53,977 --> 00:12:57,631
I really never thought of us
as being poor before this.
313
00:12:57,632 --> 00:13:00,790
Hmm, strangely though
I've begun to realize
314
00:13:00,791 --> 00:13:03,373
just how wealthy our
loving family really is
315
00:13:03,374 --> 00:13:05,399
when compared with the Moffats.
316
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,131
I hope you'll give my thanks to Laurie
317
00:13:07,132 --> 00:13:09,637
for the wonderful bouquet
of flowers he sent.
318
00:13:09,638 --> 00:13:11,725
They made me feel like Cinderella.
319
00:13:11,726 --> 00:13:14,029
All my love always, Margaret.
320
00:13:14,030 --> 00:13:14,877
Huh?
321
00:13:14,878 --> 00:13:19,044
Mm, gosh, she's having
a fairytale adventure!
322
00:13:19,614 --> 00:13:20,912
Ooh.
323
00:13:20,913 --> 00:13:23,325
I was afraid something like
this might happen to Meg
324
00:13:23,326 --> 00:13:26,412
if I let her go to Portsmouth.
325
00:13:26,413 --> 00:13:29,320
Are you as worried about her as I am, Jo?
326
00:13:29,321 --> 00:13:31,571
Come on, admit it, you are.
327
00:13:34,625 --> 00:13:36,264
Thanks for bringing this.
328
00:13:36,265 --> 00:13:38,428
Are you planning on
going to Thursday's ball?
329
00:13:38,429 --> 00:13:40,268
Oh no, I'm not going to the Moffats.
330
00:13:40,269 --> 00:13:41,321
I don't like them.
331
00:13:41,322 --> 00:13:42,497
But you have to go!
332
00:13:42,498 --> 00:13:44,287
No I don't.
333
00:13:44,288 --> 00:13:48,455
Please go, Laurie, just to
make sure Meg is all right.
334
00:13:52,717 --> 00:13:54,943
I'm sure he plans
to attend the ball, Meg.
335
00:13:54,944 --> 00:13:56,289
No he won't, Sally.
336
00:13:56,290 --> 00:13:58,900
There's absolutely no
way that he'll show up.
337
00:13:58,901 --> 00:14:01,749
Laurie's quite shy, and
he never attends parties
338
00:14:01,750 --> 00:14:04,347
with large crowds of society people.
339
00:14:04,348 --> 00:14:07,007
You mustn't be so pessimistic, Meg.
340
00:14:07,008 --> 00:14:08,924
Maybe I am overreacting a little,
341
00:14:08,925 --> 00:14:10,441
but people like Laurie and I,
342
00:14:10,442 --> 00:14:12,560
we're not used to these kinds of affairs.
343
00:14:12,561 --> 00:14:14,706
We prefer much simpler things.
344
00:14:14,707 --> 00:14:15,993
Aw, that's silly.
345
00:14:15,994 --> 00:14:17,849
He wouldn't allow that to prevent him
346
00:14:17,850 --> 00:14:19,628
from seeing the girl he loves.
347
00:14:19,629 --> 00:14:21,515
Oh, you don't understand, Sally.
348
00:14:21,516 --> 00:14:23,198
Laurie and I are just good friends.
349
00:14:23,199 --> 00:14:24,469
We're not in love.
350
00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:28,071
I don't understand why everyone
in your family thinks that.
351
00:14:28,072 --> 00:14:29,511
He's just a friend.
352
00:14:29,512 --> 00:14:31,800
Why would anyone who's just your friend
353
00:14:31,801 --> 00:14:35,156
send you that beautiful
bouquet of red roses, Meg?
354
00:14:35,157 --> 00:14:37,832
He's a young boy and he
just wanted to be nice.
355
00:14:37,833 --> 00:14:41,899
You know, I bet he will
show up, don't you think so?
356
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:43,926
He might at that.
357
00:14:43,927 --> 00:14:45,091
Mm hmm.
358
00:14:46,762 --> 00:14:48,339
Oh, there you are.
359
00:14:48,340 --> 00:14:50,272
Meg, your dress is ready now.
360
00:14:50,273 --> 00:14:52,221
Come, let's go into Belle's room.
361
00:14:52,222 --> 00:14:53,597
She's waiting for us.
362
00:14:53,598 --> 00:14:55,531
But, I'd like to wear my dress.
363
00:14:55,532 --> 00:14:57,402
Meg, you must come and look inside.
364
00:14:57,403 --> 00:14:58,794
Our darling Belle has put together
365
00:14:58,795 --> 00:15:01,377
a simply ravishing gown
for you to wear tonight.
366
00:15:01,378 --> 00:15:03,589
Oh Meg, won't you please wear the gown
367
00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:05,661
and let Belle do your hair for you?
368
00:15:05,662 --> 00:15:07,808
It will make us very happy.
369
00:15:07,809 --> 00:15:10,549
It will make you look
simply gorgeous, Meg.
370
00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:11,522
Mm hmm.
371
00:15:11,523 --> 00:15:12,914
It certainly will.
372
00:15:12,915 --> 00:15:14,678
All eyes will focus on you
373
00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:17,168
when you suddenly appear
on the marble stairs.
374
00:15:17,169 --> 00:15:19,024
We all get great pleasure by dressing up
375
00:15:19,025 --> 00:15:21,499
our less fortunate friends
for these occasions.
376
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:24,278
Please, you must do it, Meg.
377
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:26,444
I simply won't take no for an answer.
378
00:15:29,383 --> 00:15:30,716
Woah!
379
00:15:49,436 --> 00:15:51,198
Laurie, is that you?
380
00:15:51,199 --> 00:15:53,659
Oh, I'm so glad you could
make it tonight, Laurie.
381
00:15:53,660 --> 00:15:56,811
Thank you very much for the
kind invitation, Mrs. Moffat.
382
00:15:56,812 --> 00:15:59,567
There will be many future invitations.
383
00:15:59,568 --> 00:16:00,401
Oh really?
384
00:16:00,402 --> 00:16:03,790
My grandfather sends his
best regards to you, ma'am.
385
00:16:03,791 --> 00:16:05,290
You must thank him.
386
00:16:05,291 --> 00:16:06,558
I'm very honored.
387
00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:07,441
Tell him.
388
00:16:07,442 --> 00:16:08,708
I'll do that, ma'am.
389
00:16:08,709 --> 00:16:12,292
- Enjoy the ball, Laurie.
- Thank you, ma'am
390
00:16:14,957 --> 00:16:16,780
Come see how we've dressed Meg.
391
00:16:16,781 --> 00:16:17,614
Really?
392
00:16:17,615 --> 00:16:19,873
Belle, don't you think Laurie Lawrence
393
00:16:19,874 --> 00:16:21,777
and Annie make a perfect couple?
394
00:16:21,778 --> 00:16:23,911
He's Meg's date.
395
00:16:39,872 --> 00:16:43,347
Back where I'm from, the
catfish, they come this big.
396
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,457
You look dazzling, darling.
397
00:16:58,123 --> 00:16:59,623
- Lovely.
- Indeed.
398
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:04,520
Ooh!
399
00:17:05,860 --> 00:17:07,360
Follow me, dear.
400
00:17:08,661 --> 00:17:10,328
Watch your step now.
401
00:17:11,460 --> 00:17:12,627
You're lovely.
402
00:17:14,708 --> 00:17:16,053
Gosh, who is she?
403
00:17:16,054 --> 00:17:17,398
She's a real beauty.
404
00:17:17,399 --> 00:17:20,275
Oh, we must get her name.
405
00:17:20,276 --> 00:17:23,692
Good evening, thank you
all for coming to our dance.
406
00:17:23,693 --> 00:17:25,379
I have the honor of introducing you
407
00:17:25,380 --> 00:17:28,099
to one of my daughter's favorite friends,
408
00:17:28,100 --> 00:17:29,683
Ms. Margaret March.
409
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,608
With your permission,
allow me to introduce myself.
410
00:17:36,609 --> 00:17:38,541
Pleasure to meet you, Ms. March.
411
00:17:38,542 --> 00:17:39,375
Ms. March...
412
00:17:39,376 --> 00:17:43,542
Please, I
already have the first dance.
413
00:17:56,163 --> 00:17:58,343
Our lovely Ms. March
is a wonderful dancer,
414
00:17:58,344 --> 00:17:59,442
wouldn't you agree?
415
00:17:59,443 --> 00:18:00,443
Oh yes.
416
00:18:03,726 --> 00:18:05,937
Laurie, I'm Sally Gardener.
417
00:18:05,938 --> 00:18:07,344
Do you remember?
418
00:18:07,345 --> 00:18:09,015
Oh, of course I do.
419
00:18:09,016 --> 00:18:11,860
Well, isn't Meg beautiful tonight?
420
00:18:11,861 --> 00:18:12,694
Huh?
421
00:18:12,695 --> 00:18:14,799
I suppose you might say she is,
422
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,078
but she usually isn't so artificial.
423
00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:19,158
Excuse me Ms. March,
424
00:18:19,159 --> 00:18:21,076
may I have this next dance please?
425
00:18:21,077 --> 00:18:22,410
Not right now.
426
00:18:24,959 --> 00:18:28,033
Never in a million years did
I expect to see you here.
427
00:18:28,034 --> 00:18:30,244
I know, your family
asked me to come visit you.
428
00:18:30,245 --> 00:18:32,784
Everyone back home is very
concerned about you, Meg.
429
00:18:32,785 --> 00:18:35,321
And what are you going
to tell them, Laurie?
430
00:18:35,322 --> 00:18:37,950
I'll tell them that you
seem to be extremely happy,
431
00:18:37,951 --> 00:18:40,007
and that I barely recognized you
432
00:18:40,008 --> 00:18:41,322
in that pretentious evening gown
433
00:18:41,323 --> 00:18:43,502
and sophisticated hairstyle and makeup.
434
00:18:43,503 --> 00:18:45,034
What's happened, Meg?
435
00:18:45,035 --> 00:18:46,062
They insisted.
436
00:18:46,063 --> 00:18:47,431
It's all in fun.
437
00:18:47,432 --> 00:18:49,565
But I must admit, I'm
having a wonderful time
438
00:18:49,566 --> 00:18:51,019
being a debutante.
439
00:18:51,020 --> 00:18:52,674
It's only for tonight.
440
00:18:52,675 --> 00:18:54,836
Can you imagine how horrified Jo would be
441
00:18:54,837 --> 00:18:56,262
if she saw me like this?
442
00:18:56,263 --> 00:18:57,948
Yes, I certainly can.
443
00:18:57,949 --> 00:19:00,655
Do you wanna dance?
444
00:19:00,656 --> 00:19:02,060
Hm.
445
00:19:02,061 --> 00:19:03,830
I'm afraid that's impossible.
446
00:19:03,831 --> 00:19:04,994
What is it, Laurie?
447
00:19:04,995 --> 00:19:06,617
You don't like what I'm wearing?
448
00:19:06,618 --> 00:19:07,451
That's right.
449
00:19:07,452 --> 00:19:08,456
I just hate it.
450
00:19:08,457 --> 00:19:10,694
Don't be so unreasonable.
451
00:19:10,695 --> 00:19:13,555
It's not so bad, just enjoy yourself.
452
00:19:13,556 --> 00:19:15,272
I can't enjoy myself, Meg.
453
00:19:15,273 --> 00:19:17,144
All the fuss and feathers
of these shamelessly
454
00:19:17,145 --> 00:19:19,804
wealthy people just don't impress me.
455
00:19:19,805 --> 00:19:23,500
You are the most closed-minded
person I have ever met.
456
00:19:23,501 --> 00:19:24,501
Hm!
457
00:19:26,626 --> 00:19:28,991
Would you care to dance, Miss?
458
00:19:39,730 --> 00:19:42,376
Laurie, Meg actually
wanted to wear her own gown
459
00:19:42,377 --> 00:19:43,922
to the ball tonight.
460
00:19:43,923 --> 00:19:47,404
It's all right, it doesn't
really matter, Sally.
461
00:19:47,405 --> 00:19:48,564
It's our fault.
462
00:19:48,565 --> 00:19:49,848
We dressed her up.
463
00:19:49,849 --> 00:19:51,624
We wanted her to be in fashion.
464
00:19:51,625 --> 00:19:53,405
My friend, Belle, thought
she would fit in better
465
00:19:53,406 --> 00:19:54,501
with our guests.
466
00:19:54,502 --> 00:19:55,602
But you're all trying to make her
467
00:19:55,603 --> 00:19:57,380
into something she isn't, Sally.
468
00:19:57,381 --> 00:19:59,190
Meg was never taken with pretentiousness
469
00:19:59,191 --> 00:20:02,005
or an overall concern for wealth
like your other guests are.
470
00:20:02,006 --> 00:20:02,934
She's different.
471
00:20:02,935 --> 00:20:04,017
That's odd.
472
00:20:05,029 --> 00:20:06,482
Where did she go, Laurie?
473
00:20:06,483 --> 00:20:07,816
I don't see her.
474
00:20:11,353 --> 00:20:13,860
This really isn't me, is it?
475
00:20:13,861 --> 00:20:14,861
Oh well.
476
00:20:26,193 --> 00:20:28,526
Oh!
477
00:20:31,049 --> 00:20:33,987
I've come to apologize to
you for being so rude, Meg.
478
00:20:33,988 --> 00:20:37,988
Can I persuade you to join
me on the dance floor?
479
00:20:37,989 --> 00:20:39,643
You really shouldn't force yourself
480
00:20:39,644 --> 00:20:41,159
to act polite to me.
481
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,262
I'm not forcing myself, Meg.
482
00:20:43,263 --> 00:20:45,176
The whole reason I came all this way
483
00:20:45,177 --> 00:20:47,902
was so I could dance with you.
484
00:20:47,903 --> 00:20:50,268
I'm still not happy with that dress,
485
00:20:50,269 --> 00:20:53,682
but Meg, you will always
be beautiful to me.
486
00:20:53,683 --> 00:20:54,683
I mean it.
487
00:21:01,303 --> 00:21:02,303
So.
488
00:21:03,484 --> 00:21:05,817
Now would you care to dance?
489
00:21:12,444 --> 00:21:14,004
All right, just take care that my dress
490
00:21:14,005 --> 00:21:15,644
doesn't trip you up.
491
00:21:15,645 --> 00:21:18,025
This dress is the plague of my life,
492
00:21:18,026 --> 00:21:22,193
and I suppose you must think
I'm a goose for wearing it.
493
00:21:31,957 --> 00:21:34,135
Well, he is quite a
bit younger than she is,
494
00:21:34,136 --> 00:21:35,359
don't you think?
495
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:38,066
Yes, but James' grandson
is a very handsome,
496
00:21:38,067 --> 00:21:39,650
debonair young man.
497
00:21:45,444 --> 00:21:47,933
Will you do me a favor?
498
00:21:47,934 --> 00:21:49,291
Yes, what?
499
00:21:49,292 --> 00:21:51,737
When you go back home, I
would greatly appreciate it
500
00:21:51,738 --> 00:21:53,872
if you wouldn't tell anyone
about this silly dress
501
00:21:53,873 --> 00:21:56,747
and makeup that the Moffat
girls talked me into putting on.
502
00:21:56,748 --> 00:21:58,373
Jo would never understand it,
503
00:21:58,374 --> 00:21:59,749
and Mother will probably worry
504
00:21:59,750 --> 00:22:02,734
that I've become
accustomed to society life.
505
00:22:02,735 --> 00:22:05,905
Yes Meg, I give you my
word, I won't tell anyone.
506
00:22:05,906 --> 00:22:07,650
You can count on that.
507
00:22:07,651 --> 00:22:10,280
But what should I say if somebody asks me?
508
00:22:10,281 --> 00:22:12,370
Just tell them that I
looked beautiful, Laurie,
509
00:22:12,371 --> 00:22:14,845
and I was having an
absolutely wonderful time.
510
00:22:14,846 --> 00:22:17,953
Meg, your being beautiful
goes without any question,
511
00:22:17,954 --> 00:22:21,287
and remember, we're all thinking of you.
512
00:22:32,282 --> 00:22:34,942
As he promised,
Laurie indeed told us
513
00:22:34,943 --> 00:22:37,865
that Meg was the most
gorgeous woman at the ball,
514
00:22:37,866 --> 00:22:40,742
and from the look on his
face, I believed him.
515
00:22:40,743 --> 00:22:42,721
But what made us most happy
516
00:22:42,722 --> 00:22:44,407
was when we learned that Meg had overcome
517
00:22:44,408 --> 00:22:47,420
her home sickness, and was
having the time of her life
518
00:22:47,421 --> 00:22:48,754
at the Moffats'.
