Marmee:
I fear you would have a long engagement, three or four years. John must secure a house before you can marry and do his service to the union. Jo:
John? Marry? You mean that poky old Mr Brooke? How did he weasel his way into this family? Marmee:
Jo! Mr Brooke has been very kind to visit father in the hospital every day. Jo:
He's dull as powder Meg, can't you at least marry someone amusing? Meg:
I'm fond of John, he's kind and serious and I'm not afraid of being poor. Jo:
Marmee, you can't just let her go and marry him. Meg:
I'd hardly just go and marry anyone. Marmee:
I would rather Meg marry for love and be a poor man's wife than marry for riches and lose her self-respect. Meg:
So, you don't mind that John is poor. Marmee:
No, but I'd rather he have a house. Jo:
Why must we marry at all? Why can't things just stay as they are? Marmee:
It's just a proposal, nothing can be decided on. Now girls? Don't spoil the day
