Yay! Haaa!

We just finished the last
day of our school term, a

glorious two and a half
months summer vacation

lay ahead.

There she is.

Amy, wait.

You can't go home now.

You can't go home because
Mr. Davis is looking for you.

Mr. Davis? What's he want?

I think he said something
you're attending school this

summer, right, Katie?

Yes. That's right.

You had trouble with arithmetic
for most of the year.

Remember, Amy?

All I did was get
division and multiplication

a little mixed up.

Amy, Mr. Davis will
never accept mixed up

as an excuse.

You must be certain of
your multiplication tables.

Yeah, well I knew it
all perfectly by the

end of year.

I passed the
final, didn't I?

Just passing
didn't good enough.

Yes. You're right.

I guess Mr. Davis wants us all
to be better than average.

Well, you'd better be
hurry or old Davis will be

in a huff.

And you know how he
hates to be kept waiting.

It won't do to start off a
whole summer of study with

Davis angry.

You mean I have to study
the whole summer long?

Oh. Without a doubt.

Each summer one student
in each class is

chosen specially.

They receive special
training every day.

Uh-huh.

It's strict policy, but i
guess you didn't know about

it because well, you started
school a week after it was

announced, right?

Really?

Yes.

Jenny snow was
chosen last year.

Gosh, her work got
a whole lot better.

But what if i
don't want to do it?

Don't turn down the
chance of a lifetime.

Amy, this is a great honor.

Uh-huh.

Oh, why me?

Amy, you should be glad.

Everyday you'll be tutored by
Mr. Davis himself personally.

Oh!

He'll be guiding
your destiny.

What if I just
refuse to do it?

Amy, no one has ever
refused in the entire

school's history.

You can't break
the tradition.

Yeah. So go on in there
now and tell him you accept.

We'll be waiting
out here for you.

Oh! My summer vacation
would be ruined.

The idea of spending my
vacation imprisoned by the

watchful eye of Mr. Davis
was a gloomy prospect indeed.

Now I understand!

You were playing
a trick on me!

Hey, you two!

You come back here!

Katie, susie,
come back here!

If that's your idea of a
joke, I don't think it's

very funny.

Hurry, Katie!

The hill.

Yeah!

Come on! You two!
Wait for me!

Ugh!

Oh, rats.

Meanwhile, Jo was looking
forward to her summer

vacation as well.

Aunt march's doctor
prescribed that she spend

the summer at the hot
Springs health spa, so Jo

would have that whole
time for herself.

Rraaa!

Good night, good night!

Aunt march: Now, Polly,
I've just awakened,

you stupid bird.

You're supposed to ask
did you have a good nap.

Stupid bird!

Stupid bird!

Aunt march, I think
you'd better be careful or

he'll be calling us
stupid next, right?

No I don't think he'd learn
a new word that quickly.

Now, you really wouldn't
call us stupid now, would

you, Polly?

Stupid auntie.

Stupid Jo.

Stupid stupid Polly.

Did you say you
wanted a vacation?

Well, not exactly.

I asked if you were still
intending to go to the

health spa this summer.

Are you, auntie?

I think not.

Aunt march, but what
about your rheumatism?

Doctor christie
recommended the spa, right?

I don't want to go again
unless there's no way I can

convince you to come with me
so I'll have someone

to talk to.

But only old people go.

I heard that everyone just
sits around and complains

all day.

And that's exactly
why I'm not going.

They're just a bunch of
mummies sitting around

waiting to drop dead.

The king family left for
their mountain cabin over a

week ago, and they'll
be gone all summer long.

Golly, aunt march, that's a
two month vacation for Meg.

Oh, really?

Yes. She's thrilled about it.

I'm sorry, Josephine.

You'd like to see me go so
you could get a vacation,

too, wouldn't you?

But I'm not going.

I didn't go last year, and
that is why I was here when

you and your family arrived.

Gosh. We've been here
a whole year already.

Yes, dear.

Time certainly does
fly, doesn't it?

Just think, a whole year.

Oh, but it seems a
lot longer than that.

I've gotten so used to this
house I'm beginning to feel

like I was born here.

I don't like to
talk about time.

Well, Jo, can you accept a
job for the entire summer?

I'll accept it.

I like being here.

That's good, Jo.

The best thing you can
do for body and soul is

dedicated work.

I always say the idle
mind brings nothing

but heartache.

Is aunt march
in her room, Esther?

What brings
you here, David?

Aunt march, that's not
a very friendly greeting.

Come to pester me
about money I suppose.

You've been cross with me
ever since Jo and her family

arrived here.

You never used to say things
like "what brings you

here, David?"

Really? How did i
used to greet you?

As I remember it, you
were always extremely glad

to see me, and whenever
i needed money, you were

always very generous.

You didn't ask
so frequently.

My oh my, all this
censure, and the only reason

I came was to ask if you if
you changed your mind about

going to the spa.

I was only concerned
about your health, auntie.

I want you to make sure
that you're taking care

of yourself.

You needn't fret so.

I haven't changed my mind
about going, so you don't

have to pretend to concern
yourself with my health.

Oh, is that your
final word then?

Yes.

The place bores me to
tears in case you need

further explanation.

What about your health?

Doctor christie told me that
the weather at the spa is

very beneficial to
your rheumatism.

You spoke to
doctor christie?

I asked him not to
speak to you about it.

Well, I'll only go on one
condition, and that is that

you or someone talk
this young woman into

accompanying me there.

How could you possibly
refuse to go with her?

It's my own choosing.

Don't you mean you're
not concerned about it?

A mere two and a half months
isn't that much to repay

someone whose treated you
with the utmost kindness.

If aunt march really
wanted to go, she would go

and take Esther with her.

But she doesn't want to go,
and she's not going to be

talked into it.

Well, if she dies here, it
will be on your conscience.

What?

I know what you're
trying to do.

You're just trying to
make me feel guilty.

Well, it's very plain
to me that I care much more

about aunt march
than you ever could.

Ah!

Hmph.

How could you be cross
with me when it's I who

really care about
you and not her.

You're right, David.

I can see that
now very clear.

Aunt march,
that's not true!

Be quiet, Jo, and
let me say something.

May I ask you a question?

Certainly.

If you don't mind, I have
a favor I must ask

of you, David.

It's just a trifling
little thing.

Anything for you, auntie.

Good.

I would like you to
accompany me on my journey.

Me?

Yes.

Since you care so much about
me, you'll make an excellent

companion for me.

The spa is so quiet.

I'd go out of my mind
without someone to talk to.

Stomachache, David?

No. I have an appointment.

I guess we'll have to talk
about this later, auntie.

Whoa!

Drat.

You love to pick at
David, don't you, auntie?

He deserves it.

Well, I guess I'd
better be getting home now.

Yes. My love to everyone.

I hope all this
arguing didn't upset you.

Well, bye bye now.

Oh, Jo, wait a moment. Please.

I'll walk you to the porch.

Oh, that's all right.

Don't get up on my
account, auntie.

Oh, it's all right.

I want to stretch
my legs anyway.

Ah.

It's still quite light out.

Yes, the days are longest
at this time of year.

But I'm not here to
make small talk, Josephine.

Would working until 6
o'clock be any problem

to you?

Beg your pardon?

I want to you work
until 6 from now on.

But that's past supper.

It would mean a $4
pay increase plus supper.

How much?

That will make quite a
good income for a girl

your age.

Um, yes, it will, but i
was hoping that I would have

more time for
myself this summer.

I'll be the only one in
any family who won't have a

vacation this year.

I don't want to take away
from the time you have with

your family.

I'm just asking you to spend
a little more time with me.

When you're gone, my time
seems to pass so slowly.

Will you think about it,
and give me your

answer tomorrow?

Yes, ma'am.

With Meg no longer
working for the kings all

summer, Jo had no choice but
to take up auntie's offer as

her extra income would make
up for the loss of Meg's.

Uh, hi, Jo.

Anthony. I'm sorry.

I must have been
daydreaming.

What's up?

That's no kind of a
question to ask a real

reporter, Jo.

A man with a nose for news has
to be everywhere at once.

Then you're not taking a summer
vacation this year either?

Summer vacation?

Are you kidding?

Whew! No way.

When you're in the newspaper
business, you never even get

one day off.

Poor you!

How about you, Jo?

Are you getting
some time off?

Hardly, just the opposite.

How's that, Jo?

Aunt march requested
i work even longer hours.

Too bad!

But I'm going
to refuse to do it.

Right. That's the spirit.

Just tell your aunt all work
and no play will make

Jo a dull girl.

Welli better get going,
i have an appointment.

I'm late already,
see you around, Jo.

Bye, Anthony.

Anthony has to work all the time and
it certainly hasn't made him dull.

Ahhh

The summer vacation that I was
so looking forward to is upon us

but after a few days i
discovered that I was bored.

Hum

I'd been noticing that Meg was spending
lots of time with lorie's tutor, Mr. brook

and after that he tied all
their shoe laces together

Mr. brook, I completed
the assignment.

Got to run.

They sure chatted and laughed
alot when they were together.

What were you two giggling
about this tiime?

Ah, Amy, I do believe that
you were evesdropping on us.

I couldn't help hearing.

Why don't you go
somewhere and play?

I can't think of a single thing to do.

How about rowing at the lake?

I did that yesterday, ahh haam.

Then why don't you go see what
some of your friends are up to?

Well, susie and Katie have gone off with
thier families to their summer houses

and, I'm getting bored having no one
but Carolyn to play with every day

humm, a good book will keep you occupied.

Yah, but I've already read all
the books we have at home.

And, have you already read the
one I got you from the library?

If you mean Oliver
twist, it's too hard.

It isn't that difficult, Amy.

By the way, what were you and Mr.
brook laughing at?

That's none of your business.

Oh come on now, it's not
fair keep a secret from me.

Tell me, Meg!

If you must know, John was just telling
me about his younger brother, Thomas.

Wait a minute, you called him John?

Of course I did, there's no reason
not to call him by his first name.

Yah, but what's so unusual
about John's younger brother?

John has told me that tom
is quite a mischief maker-

tom is coming to visit and
he will be staying with

John all summer long and
he's about your age, Amy.

You should get along fine.

It's not all that bad Jo, try to
think of it as a blessing instead.

But I didn't want to work at all this
summer and now my hours are longer, marmee.

Well now who's
responsible for that?

You are my dear because you made
the commitment to your aunt-

is working for aunt march
all that difficult?

No, aunt march is a
pleasure to work for-

it's just that I wanted to have some time
to work on improving my writing, marmee.

All by myself, alone.

Aunt march delights in your company, Jo-
you made the right choice.

I know.

Who's that young
fellow with Amy?

Wow we, tom-

you are a real acrobat

this is as easy as one, two, three, Amy

I'll teach you how
to do it sometime.

Ok

who are those ladies?

Where?

Don't be late.

Amy!

That's my mother and sister,
I'll introduce you.

My sister's name is Jo.

That's a funny name
for a girl, hahahaha.

Who is that young twirp
hanging up there?

He's Mr. Brooks younger brother tom, he's
staying with Mr. Brooks this summer.

Well hello there, I'm Amy's big sister, Jo.

Hi, Jo! Here I come.

My name's tom, I'm real
pleased to meet you.

My last name is brook, I'm
John brook's younger brother

are you staying all summer?

Ah hum, I usually spend my summers in
Europe, but I couldn't go this year.

Oh what a shame,

Here comes your brother now.

Hi Jo, I just heard the awful news that
you're going to have to work all summer.

I know how much you were looking
forward to your vacation.

That's alright lorie, I don't mind.
How are you this evening, Mr. brook?

I'm fine, Jo.

Thomas, I hope you've
been behaving yourself.

Yes, sir

mom gave me a long talking to before I left
and said not to make one ounce of mischief.

Don't worry, I won't
make you ashamed of me.

Tom! You think you're pretty
smart, but that mouth

of your's is going to get
you into trouble some day.

Ahhhh!

Let's head for home now, ok?

Ah hum, bye!

See you soon Tommy.

I'm getting hungry,
when do we eat?

Mr brook, hold on, you were going to help
me tell Jo about what we were planning-

be brave lorie, do it yourselfff-

only if you do my homework for me.

Tell me what lorie?

Well, you see, I'd like to invite you to
a party that John and I are planning.

Where?

Can I go?

Yes, ah huh.

Oh boy, oh boy, I'm going
to a party-

It will be held outside at lake
loren, it's beautiful there-

on the lake? Hat sounds like fun.

Now the first thing we have
to accomplish is to gain

your mother's permission
so that you can attend.

Ahum

uhh oh, what am i
going to where?

Of course, marmee gave the
event her blessing-

and the rest of the week
was spent in blissful

excitement preparing
ourselves for the big day-

we had hardly seen hide nor
hair of lorie, John or tom

since lorie's invitation-

when we did catch sight of one of
them, he was always scurrying about

with a piece of
outdoor equiptment-

saying something like, got
to run, see you Saturday!

The four of us had
our work out as well-

what does one wher
to an outdoor party?

We chose dresses and bonnets, except for
Jo, who wore her favorate hat, of course.

Yehhhh

Bye! Bye marmee!
Bye Hannah!

I just hope they don't ruin
those dresses out in the woods!

How far do we have to
go to get there Jo?

It isn't far, huhh?

What's the matter Jo?

There's Anthony.

Could you pull up for
a second or two?

Uhmmm

Hey there-

hi!

What are you doing way out here?

The nose for news goes
everywhere remember?

So where are you
nice ladies off to?

I got the day off and we were all
invited to a party at the lake.

Oh1 that sounds like alot of fun.

Don't you work too hard today Anthony.

Ok, we can go.

Heree get up-

Lake lorin I'll bet-

say, would you get the
basket of cutlery for me?

Ah huh, your receipt has
worked out marvelously, sir

thanks alot, Mr. brook and i
will able to take it from.

Sam, take some time for yourself
when we're finished here.

Yes, sir

they're here lorie, I way them coming!

Hey, we better get going and
greet our guests, Mr. brook

I'm right behind you, lorie.

My feet are killing me!

But I've got to get
there before they do!

The meal that the fellows
prepared was sure to

go down in march family
history as legendary

This is absolutly wonderful, I had no
idea that you two were such goo cooks!

Everything is simply perfect

doubly perfect

ahh humm!

Thank you ladies, as always it's a
distinct privilage to entertain you.

What are we going to do after
we finish eating, lorie?

Ohh, what ever pleases you-

we have lots of activities on the
agenda to keep you occupied, miss.

Hey Meg, what's an agenda?

Hehhhha

my hero, yaaa!

Don't worry, Amy, he's tame.

Yah, we have a whole bunch of
horses like this were I come from-

huhh

there! You see there's nothing to
it when you know what you're doing!

Uhhh, ohh!

Ohh dear!

I could only watch as the
horse carrried tom away,

I was helpless to stop it!

There.

Gee Jo, it's too bad you
have to work all summer long.

Yes, I'm quite dissappointed,
i wanted to have some time

to myself to write a full
length novel this summer

what kind of novel do you
think you'de write, Jo?

That's a secret, I'll let you read
it when it's finished though.

Help! Help me! Stop! [Fade off] Stooooop!

Whoa, whoa boy!

Ahhgh! Uhhhhh!

Oh golly, come on kid, speak
to me, are you alright?

Hey, snap out of it, will ya?

Hey! Dinner was great, lorie!

Dinner?

I'm ready to go back
for another helping!

Anthony brought a rapidly
recovering tom back to camp-

where tom did have
another helping

at sun set, it was our turn
to provide the entertainment-

♪ way down upon the suwannee
river, far, far away- ♪

♪ that's when my heart is yearning
ever, back where the old folks stay ♪

♪ all the world seems bright and
cheery, everywhere we goooo ♪

Amy, you sang it too fast!

I did not!

♪ Way down upon the suwannee
river, far, far away- ♪

♪ that's where I'll go
when we are yearning, ♪

♪ back where are
good friends stay ♪

♪ back where are
good friends stay ♪

♪ yes, back where are
good friends stay ♪

We continued to sing progressively
better with the addition

of the gentlemen's tenor and baritone,
until the stars were well up in the sky-

during the coach ride
home, I realized all

thoughts of boredom had
vanished from my mind.

Tom? Ohh

Jo said that she was so filled
with the days pleasures

that she wouldn't mind returning
to work at aunt march's at all.

Thank you Mr. brook
and thank you lorie!
