Experiments – Little Women

Next morning, Meg did not appear till ten o’clock.

Her solitary breakfast did not taste good, and the room seemed lonely and untidy, for Jo had not filled the vases, Beth had not dusted, and Amy’s books lay scattered about.

Nothing was neat and pleasant but ‘Marmee’s corner’, which looked as usual.

And there Meg sat, to ‘rest and read’, which meant to yawn and imagine what pretty summer dresses she would get with her salary.
