"There isn't anyone I'd like to see. Boys make such a row, and
my head is weak."
"Isn't there some nice girl who'd read and amuse you? Girls
are quiet and like to play nurse."
"Don't know any."
"You know us," began Jo, then laughed and stopped.
"So I do! Will you come, please?" cried Laurie.
"I'm not quiet and nice, but I'll come, if Mother will let me.
I'll go ask her. Shut the window, like a good boy, and wait till I
come."
With that, Jo shouldered her broom and marched into the house,
wondering what they would all say to her. Laurie was in a flutter
of excitement at the idea of having company, and flew about to get
ready, for as Mrs. March said, he was 'a little gentleman', and did
honor to the coming guest by brushing his curly pate, putting on a
fresh color, and trying to tidy up the room, which in spite of half a
dozen servants, was anything but neat. Presently there came a loud
ring, than a decided voice, asking for 'Mr. Laurie', and a surprised-
looking servant came running up to announce a young lady.
